AROMATHERAPY is the use of essential oils for healing, relaxation, and vitality.

Some oils are antiviral, antibacterial, immune supportive and others help lift the mood.

The oils are compounds extracted from plants. Each of the oils has its own unique healing properties and fragrance.

They can be used one at a time or they can be mixed to suit your needs and the aroma you prefer. The oils, depending on suitability, can be massaged onto the skin, added to your bath, or burned in oil burners or electric diffusers.
