About Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

Aromatherapy treatment comes from the use of pure essential oils, which are concentrated essences derived from plants.

Essential oils are obtained by a delicate operation where the essence, the living element of a plant, is extracted. The quality of the oil depends on the conditions of the environment where the plant grows (its native habitat is best) and the method of extraction. The ideal harvesting time depends on the attributes of each plant. Many flowers and plants have to be processed in a specific way to maximize the quality of the oil that is produced. Therapeutic properties of essential oils are maximized by using the purest essences available. Attributes and effects are not the same with synthetic clones and adulterated oils. 

Essential oils are sourced from a wide variety of plant sources, including bark, resins, leaves and flowers. They have been used medicinally for centuries, and they each have their own particular energetic impact. Essential oils both have physical and psychological effects. Due to their potent fragrance, essential oils are known to send messages straight the limbic system of the brain, which then influences emotions. Essential oils are amazing tools to consider in regards to psychological well-being, self-care and self-development. 

Essential oils can be used to calm the mind or bring forth alertness. They can soothe the emotional body, as well as the physical body. Oils are also associated with different chakras, and can be used when working on specific energy centres of the body. 

Using Our Gemstone Rollers

Essential oils, when used topically, are best used with a carrier oil. A carrier oil allows the proper blending of different oils, and encourage quick absorption into the skin. Our gemstone roller blends are made with fractionated, cold-pressed coconut oil. This oil has the attribute of not solidifying in cold temperatures and is easily absorbed by the skin, without leaving any greasy residue. 

Gemstone rollers can be used to apply oil on your body. You may choose to put them on your pulse points, such as the wrists, the neck or behind your ears. You may choose to apply it to the region of a chakra you are working on. You can use your oil for meditation, yoga or other activities. You can also roll the oil in your palm, rub your hands together and inhale the fragrance to benefit from the scent of the oils.
