If you\u2019re a total novice to essential oils and aromatherapy, then we\u2019re here to help. Practiced for centuries (with the first uses thought to be around 3500 BC), this ancient tradition is the art of using plant extracts to promote healing and wellness. Used throughout ancient cultures as a form of holistic medicine, plants (including leaves, roots, flowers and seeds) have been distilled into balms, resins and oils and used for their naturally restorative properties. Considered an art by some and a science by others, aromatherapy has been shown to boost body, spirit and mind. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
