Essential Oils have been used for the past 5000 years by prominent civilizations of the world such as the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Greeks, and the Indians. Derived from various plants, herbs and grasses, these oil extracts have been considered to be powerful plant-based medicines by people all over the world who practice alternative forms of therapy to treat ailments and to provide safe and convenient means to beautiful moments of relaxation and rest.
Essential Oils are known to have healing properties. Such plants are often cultivated especially for use as herbal medicines and in aromatherapy. Other uses include embalming, skin care, sanitation, treating mild burns and insect bites.

The effect is instant as the pleasant and reinvigorating aroma fills the air and starts working on your senses, your body and your mind. You will begin to feel all your tensions, anxiety, pain and apprehensions fade away as you breathe in more and more of the aroma around you.
