Essential Oils

The term "Aromatherapy" as we know it today was first coined in 1937 by the French chemist and perfumer Rene Maurice Gattefosse. He was interested in the properties that essential oils exhibited.

In 1910 he burnt his hand severely in his laboratory and being the first available compound handy, treated his badly burnt hand with pure undiluted Lavender Oil, which not only immediately eased the pain, but also helped heal the hand without any sign of infection or scar.

His research into Essential Oils found that minute amounts are absorbed by the body, either through the skin during massage or by inhalation when burning the Oils.

These minutes amounts� interact with the body chemistry, which explains in a simplistic way, why the Oils are grouped as Relaxing, Uplifting, Calming Grounding etc.

Oils may be used diluted in a Burner, added to a carrier Oil in massage.

A few drops added to a warm bath. Placed on cotton wool and put behind hot radiators.

Magically they may be added to herbal and/or incense blends and used to annoint candles.
