Aromatherapy is the medical use of the therapeutic and aromatic properties of plants. Essential Oils come from liquid found in tiny sacs on plants. They are potent and need to be used with care. Some Aromatherapy Oils are extremely potent and must be used with care and respect. Please use sparingly, and NEVER more than the suggested dosage, especially if you have a medical condition.
They should only be used undiluted when specifically instructed to do so. Essential Oils are diluted using Carrier Oils, water or plain bases such as shampoo and bubble bath.
Usually blended together, Essential Oils can be used:
On The Face and Body
In the Bath
Around the Home
As an insect Repellent
Essential Oils are associated with colours and can be used in relation to the 7 Chakras. Oils are used with an associated colour that corresponds to the colour of the Chakra you wish to focus on.
