Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the usage of therapeutic-grade essential oil compounds which are extracted from plants. They can have a powerful effect on the body, mind and spirit, serving as tools for self-care when used responsibly. (Read More)  Essential oils can be used topically, by inhalation, or diffused, and are often used in personal care products. For example, a massage therapist may use a few drops of wintergreen oil to a carrier oil during bodywork, or a vitamin manufacturer might add citrus to their fish oil products, or lavender can be used in body care products or by healthcare professionals to encourage relaxation in their patients. Essential oils are produced by steaming or pressing different parts of plants to extract the aromatic chemicals. One bottle of essential oil can sometimes require several pounds of plant material. People have used aromatherapy for centuries: these essential oils are convenient to have in a home remedy kit for various self-resolving ailments: in our workshops we share some of these commonly used applications and how you can use essential oils to improve your well-being and quality of life.
