Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine which uses essential oils to heal a wide range of ailments. The use of essential oils (EOs) goes back thousands of years but the term "aromatherapy" dates to the 1920s when a French scientist (Gattefosse) accidentally discovered the power of Lavender EO to heal a burn. 

 

There is currently research  looking at Aromatherapy for such health concerns as depression, cancer and pain. Four Blooms makes no medical claims for any of its blends; it is our personal and extended experience that these blends are effective.

 

The skin is the largest organ in the body - what you put on your skin is absorbed into the body quickly and effectively. Have you read the ingredient lists of your favorite body products? Do you want those ingredients in your body?

 

When you are seeking a natural, drug-free approach to health and wellness, aromatherapy can provide relief.

 

 

Essential oils are plant extracts obtained from the flowers, leaves, fruit, wood, bark, seeds and roots of aromatic plants. Extracts are obtained in many ways (e.g. cold pressing, steam distillation, solvent), there is no established standard for EO quality.

 

When choosing EOs for your health it is important to find therapeutic grade oils & not judge by the aroma; some highly effective oils are not the most fragrant. Indeed some oils do not smell great at all but are wonderful healing tools.

 

At Four Blooms we test oils from many sources and choose the highest quality available to ensure our blends work effectively. We maintain the highest standards possible - all our products are hand-blended, we use food grade carriers and we support small local businesses when we can.
