Essential oils have been used for therapeutic purposes for some 6,000 years. Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to help the body directly or indirectly. Directly, essential oils can work by absorption, inhalation or ingestion, affecting change in our bodies, even at the cellular level. Indirectly, they work on our moods, relieving stress or elevating our emotions.

Our olfactory senses can process scent in as little as three seconds, triggering memories, for example. While essential oils often smell lovely, they are not perfumes, which are most often a variety of unhealthy synthetic chemicals.

Whether our goal is to balance emotions or hormones, resist bacteria and viruses, or simply have a more relaxing body work experience - there is an essential oil or blend of oils that can offer health-enhancing therapeutic value.
