What is Essential Oils

An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted. We supply a wide range of original essential oils for the aromatherapy application. Our oils originate from established distillers from Europe and around the world. The quality and purity of our oils are guaranteed and appreciated by many in the industry.                               

What is Aromatherapy

French chemist, Renē-Maurice Gattefossē can be credited with coining the term Aromatherapy in 1928 in an article supporting the use of Essential Oils in their whole without breaking them down into their primary constituents. Aromatherapy can be offered as a complementary therapy alongside standard treatment through topical application, massage, inhalation or water immersion to stimulate a desired response.
