We believe passionately that our environment is of vital importance, both in its own right and as the source of many of the plants and herbs vital to our wellbeing. Aromatherapy is the practice of using aromatic plant extracts or essential oils, manufactured by steam distillation from the bark, flowers, spices, leaves, stems, roots and resin of abundant plants. Each oil works by aiding natural balance within the body and has its own unique smell and healing properties.
