Excellence in Aromatherapy

Is aromatherapy safe?
 

Essential  oils are naturally highly concentrated and must be diluted before being applied. For use in massage they are mixed with a carrier such as almond, walnut or sunflower oil. Massage is one of the safest ways for the body to benefit from plant essences, as the skin absorbs oil rather slowly.
 

Safety

“First do no harm”
Hippocrytes...

Essential  oils are, however, very powerful, and so should always be used with care -  preferably under the guidance of a professionally trained aromatherapist.
