The magnificent three you should always have at home
Aromatherapy, in a synthetic way, is an ancient therapy that uses Essential Oils – OE – extracted from nature (leaves, roots, petals, stems and plant bark) enhancing therapeutic, physical and emotional effects on people.
In the light of Aromatherapy, the individual is seen as a whole, that is, the state of illness is seen as an energy imbalance that must be analyzed in its fullness, always going to the source of the energy imbalance and not just treating the symptoms - holistic therapy.
