What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy and its benefits put in context. Aromatherapy is a natural holistic approach to therapy using essential oils. Professional Aromatherapy seeks to foster relaxation and refreshment (home and spa use), to promote beauty and health (salon use), to maintain and enhance physical and mental homeostasis (self care) and to alleviate physical and mental disorders and to restore normal health (self care, professional aromatherapy, nursing, medical and surgical use of essential oils)

History of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy may date back thousands of years but Robert Tisserand is a name you need to know. His books The Art of Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Safety are on aromatherapists bookshelves.
Aromatherapy Safety Information
Learn more about the safety precautions that you need to take and always read the label. Avoid essential oils in pregnancy as you would any medicine. There are too many ingredients to an essential oil to list them on the label. The ingredients which may cause irritation in a small number of cases are listed on the label so do check them.
Guide to Diluting Essential Oils
The undiluted use of essential oils on the skin can be harmful and potentially cause irritation or sensitization. Its easy to learn the precautions that you need to know and learn how to easily dilute your essential oils prior to topical application.
Essential Oils That May Cause Dermal Irritation and Skin Sensitization
Some essential oils are more likely to cause dermal irritation or sensitization. It is recommended that the public do not use essential oils outside the safe 60 without the guidance of a professional aromatherapist. Always check the label to see if you are sensitive to the ingredients
How do I Perform an Essential Oil Skin Patch Test?
When using a new essential oil for the first time, perform a simple skin patch test on a small area of skin. Just dab a spot of diluted oil on the sensitive skin of the inner elbow. To perform a true patch test place a plaster over the spot which will prevent the essential oil diffusing.
Essential Oil Uses
Implementing essential oil use into one's lifestyle can be easy, therapeutically beneficial and will smell good! You can begin using essential oils right away.
