Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the term that was first coined by the French Chemist, Gattefosse, in 1928. He accidentally found lavender oil was able to immediately remedy a severe burn on his hand and also prevent scarring. After that he became fascinated with the therapeutic possibilities of essential oils. Each essential oil has a specific interaction with the body's chemistry in direct and indirect manners, which can affect certain organs or complete body systems. For the example, when the oils are used externally in the form of a treatment such as in massage, they are easily absorbed via the skin and transported throughout the body. Whilst many aromatic oils are used for flavoring our food and beverages and are consumed daily in minute amounts such as peppermint oils, mint oils and menthol, please check with us before using them in products where may be ingested to ensure you have the appropriate food grade materials.
