Natural First Aid Remedies

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic usage of Essential Oils for our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Essential Oils

• are pure, natural plant extracts, which are the immune system of the plants themselves. Essential Oils are present in small sacks located on leaves, stems, flowers, woods and even found in resins. Most Essential Oils are extracted through steam distillation.

are very volatile (sensitive to heat & light - oxidize easily) therefore they need to be stored in dark bottles.

• are 70 x more powerful than the plant which they are extracted from, they sometimes contain hundreds of chemical components and have been used all over the world from the beginning of time for their medicinal properties. 

•  
are not fatty oils. They do not mix with water, but dissolve in vegetable oils or alcohol. Using vegetable oils as carriers allows the skin to absorb Essential Oils. Topically applied Essential Oils absorb through your skin and eventually end up in your blood stream. The body recognizes Essential Oils as it would recognize fruits and vegetables (since they are plant-based) and processes them just like the food you eat, and discharges them either via your digestive tract, your sweat glands, or your breath.

Another very important application of Essential Oils is inhalation. Many Essential Oils are beneficial for the respiratory tract. Probably the most noted benefit for Essential Oils is for the psycho-emotional well-being. Typically, citruses are uplifting, florals are calming, woods are grounding. Essential Oils help with panic, anxiety, focus and concentration etc. Please see our Diffusing Blends for details.

Our First Aid Treatments range from topical blends to inhalation blends. We categorize between Skin Conditions, Musculoskeletal Treatments and Inhalation Blends.
