The oils are produced through a process of distillation of plants including flowers, fruit, wood, bark, herbs and spices. Drops of the oils can be used in burners, candles and diffusers to release their aroma into the air. They can also be combined with carrier oils and used topically in massage or as skin treatments.
Aromatherapy is when the oils are used to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. For example, to relieve stress, enhance mood, relieve congestion, heighten energy and awareness, relaxation of muscles and even address snoring. Who would have thought?
