About The Aromatherapy
Essential oil
Aromatherapy
is derived from the ancient practice of using natural plant essences to
promote health and well-being. It consists of the use of pure essential
oils obtained from a wide assortment of plants, which have been steam
distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark and roots.
The
appropriate oils can have powerful results, both on the body and the
spirit. "Fragrance Oils", "Perfumes" and other
artificially made substitutes for Pure Essential Oils can not produce
these amazing results.

Essential oil keep
Essential
oils are highly concentrated and should always be treated with care and
respect. Like the herbal material from which the oils are obtained,
Essential Oils should be stored properly. Whenever possible they should be
kept in tightly sealed amber colored glass bottles. If amber glass is
unavailable they should be stored in tight containers and kept from
exposure to sunlight, fluorescent lights and excessive heat
