The true practice of aromatherapy is a wedding of both science and art. It is one of the most powerful forms of healing known for enhancing one’s physical, mental and emotional well-being. For centuries aromatic plants have been used to enhance the vital life force energies. Aromatic oils contain the 'life essence' of a plant. As such, they are highly concentrated. A single drop, or two, can produce significant results.

Aromatherapy is a perfect complement to a professional therapeutic practice. It can be be used in the work place or at home, and very easy to integrate.
