As you begin your journey, you will have many questions.
I hope that you will find all of the answers you seek right here.
Let me begin by saying that when we talk about Aromatherapy here we are talking about Aromatherapy
using pure essential oils. You have no doubt seen personal and household products advertised as "aromatherapy" scented,
but did you know that most of the time the products are not scented with pure essential oils but are made with fragrance oils?
So you might ask, What is the difference? Fragrance oils are fine when all you desire
is the fragrance. You can find many products made by using fragrance oils. These are basically perfumes.
Some manufacturers will call these fragrance oils and blends "aromatherapy" scented products and so far as scent goes, they
are correct. Essential oils are derived from extracts of actual plants and flowers. Essential oils are known not
only for their scent, but for their healing properties as well. On this website we will be talking only about Essential
Oils and discussing their healing properties and therapeutic benefits.
It is important to state at this point that I am not a physician. I do not practice
medicine nor do I offer medical advice. Before I tried Aromatherapy to aid with some of the health conditions
I face, I spoke to my doctor and asked his advice. I am fortunate in that I have an excellent physician who understands
how natural medicine and traditional medicine can work together for the benefit of the patient. I suggest that you learn
about the Essential Oils and their traditional healing properties and make note of any warnings or precautions. Then
talk to your doctor and ask him or her if Aromatherapy treatments might be beneficial to you and your health condition.
If you do not take this advice and attempt to self-treat your condition, please be advised that you do this at your own risk.
This is a website. You do not know me. Check and double check all of your information before you seriously embark
on this journey.
If I have not scared you away at this point, I am glad. Aromatherapy has helped me a
lot and I truly desire to share some of the information I've gathered over the years I have spent in study. My most
troublesome medical condition is Fibromyalgia. Aromatherapy baths have proven to be quite a blessing to me on bad days.
I hope that you will find something here that will help you as well.
This website will give you Essential Oil profiles, a listing of common conditions treated
with Essential Oils, Blending & Storage techniques and lots of "recipes". There is also a Links page that will
list for you websites that I have visited and found helpful. I have only listed shops in the Links that I have purchased
from myself.
So now, let us proceed. Click on the page titled BLENDING & STORAGE.
