Essential oils are the vital life essence of aromatic plants and flowers in a condensed form. Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for therapeutic effects. Essential oils have been revered for their fragrance and their restorative effects on the body, mind, and spirit for thousands of years.
Pure essential oils are blended for harmonious, combined effect and fragrance. Skillful blending balances the therapeutic effect and aromatic quality of individual essential oils. Ancient Healing Art creates balanced blends to promote:
The scent of essential oils is conveyed by the olfactory nerve to areas of the brain that can influence emotions and hormonal response.
When used in a bath or massage, the oils are absorbed through the skin and carried by body fluids to the main body systems; such as the nervous and muscular systems for a healing effect.*
