It reminds us to slow down and enjoy the moment. Aromatherapy has been used throughout time with proven therapeutic benefits.

Fragrances have been linked to many ingredients that cause allergic reactions and hormone disruption. For a refreshing and more natural approach, try essential oils.

How are essential oils made?

100% pure, natural oils are extracted from fruits, flowers, peels, blossoms, leaves, stems, wood, and seeds. Essential oils are usually steam distilled. Some are crushed. The oil is expressed. The peels from citrus fruits like bergamot, orange, lemon, grapefruit are typically expressed. The oils may also be extracted with a solvent. Flower petals are a good example.
