What are ESSENTIAL OILS?
Essential oils are non-oily, concentrated, evaporative extracts obtained from aromatic plants by the process of steam distillation. They contain a unique, complex composition of approximately 300 to 500 different chemical constituents, which give them their valuable therapeutic properties, which help the body during its healing process. The essences found in the peel of citrus fruits, obtained by pressing citrus oils, also have valuable therapeutic properties to help the body in the healing process.

Lavanda is an organic essential oils supplier, offering a wide range of pure essential oils and citrus essences of botanical medicinal grade, 100% concentrated, undiluted, un-rectified and authentic. Our natural essential oil blends are sourced from countries all over the world, and whenever possible are made from organically grown plants in the traditional manner, on licensed land without the use of artificial fertilizers or sprays. To insure their quality and chemical constituents, they are independently analyzed at their place of origin by the Gas Chromatography and mass Spectrometry (GC, MS) methods. The botanical name indicating genus, species, chemo type, and country of origin are available.

Because of the potency and concentration of our essential oils and citrus essences, we recommend using them with care. Never apply them neat (directly onto the skin), do not take them internally (except under medical supervision), and use them in conjunction with a carrier. A carrier is a vehicle to enhance penetration of essential oils into the body.

Lavanda also offers to practitioners assortment of natural carriers, botanical oils and creams, so that they can create their own individual formulas.

AROMATHERAPY ESSENTIAL OIL USE
Essential oils have been used in healing since ancient times. The Chinese and Egyptians used essential oils widely, and eventually the Romans and Greeks learned of their therapeutic value in achieving balance and harmony in the human body. Aromatherapy uses two closely related senses: TOUCH and SMELL. When the skin absorbs essential oils, nerve endings are stimulated and messages are carried to the underlying tissues: muscles, blood, lymphatic vessels and nerves; assisting the body in the process of healing.

Research has shown that our sense of smell is highly developed and that aromas can have a profound psychological and physiological effect. When inhaling aromatherapy essential oils, the nose "knows". Nerve endings inside the nose are stimulated, the odor molecules travel through the nose to the olfactory bulb and messages are carried to the glands inside the limbic system, the part of our brain that controls memory and emotional responses. Neurochemicals are released and the effects can be felt all over the body.

SKIN APPLICATION:
Skin application of essential oils is very effective to address various conditions, such as common ailments or to help promote relaxation. Add 5 drops of an essential oil to 15-ml. (1/2 oz.) of base carrier oil or cream.

BATH:
Bathing was popular among the ancient cultures, for enjoyment, health or hygiene. An Aromatherapy bath is therapeutic; no soaps or gels are added to the bath water.
