Essential Oils

Essential Oils have long been used across the globe for a number of things. Some people believe that certain oils have mystical properties and have used them in magical rites and ceremonies. Others believe that some oils have powerful healing properties for mind, body and spirit.

Whatever you believe it's a fact that aromatherapy has become very popular worldwide and more and more people are turning back to alternative medicines in which essential oils and plant extracts play a large part.

Essential oils are extracted from various plant parts like flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, bark, resin or fruit rinds. Each plant contains only a tiny percentage of essential oil, so several kilos of the plant are harvested to extract a few millilitres of oil. Therefore, these oils are highly concentrated and usually dispensed in drops, or mixed with a base oil for massages.

General Safety Information: Do not take any essential oils internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Do not apply undiluted essential oils or absolutes onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use essential oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using essential oils with children. A skin patch test should be conducted prior to using an essential oil that you've never used before.
