Aromatherapy and Plant Medicine

Aromatherapy – a Blend of Art and Science

The Ancient art and use of the “soul” of the plant through the application of essential oils is nothing new to mankind, it has been used since the beginning of time.  People and nature were one.  In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the early chemists used the essential oils to establish the molecular structure in nature, and infact received Nobel Prizes for their work. — it is only recently in this past century, due to man’s desire to own  The revival of the medicinal use of essential oils (for that is truly what they are —  essential) is growing.  The oils speak to us , they support us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Each oil is a vibrational hologram, contributing to the health and well being of each person in its own right.  When blended with other oils, a new oil is created vibrationally to resonate specifically for  that individual.
