It is both an art and a science based on the interaction between the aromatherapist, the client and the essential oils, which all work together to elicit the client's innate, self-healing energy. Aromatherapy may be used as a preventative approach or as a support during various stages of illness or 'dis'-ease. As a holistic modality, aromatherapy is able to work on several levels -- physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual -- to effect over-all health, well-being, beauty and vitality. Essential oils are the volatile (quickly-evaporating) essences produced by aromatic plants through the process of photosynthesis. The constituents of a plant's oil (its essence) may be extracted from its flowers, leaves, grasses, bark, peels, roots, seeds, and/or resins, and some plants can produce more than one essential oil, depending on the part used. Essential oils contain a tremendous amount of a plant's energy, and only a small quantity is needed for significant effects. Individual oils or specially-prepared blends can be used for health-giving, meditative, restorative or relaxing purposes. By assisting the body directly in balancing itself and immediately reducing the stress that causes more than 75% of all illnesses; all of the body systems are affected in a positive way.
