【Aromatherapy】has been used around the world for centuries.  Extracting from plants, essential oil and base oil could be applied in many ways, like diffusion, massage, breathing-in, product formulation, in order to improve, regulate and uplift our body, mind and spirit.

【Essential Oil】is extracted from the most vulnerable parts of plants.  It is oil soluble, highly concentrated, highly volatile, aromatic and oxidative.  Its particles are small enough to penetrate easily into our body through our skin and nasal mucosa and offer various effects and benefits.  
 

Aromatherapy is beneficial to skin, body health and spirit and mind.  Different essential oil has different chemotypes and thus offers different benefits and effects to us.  Blending selective oils according to treatment needs will create multiplier effects to the overall benefits.  This will in turn achieve more comprehensive effects to address various needs simultaneously while striking a balance and enhancing the formula’s safety.
