An olfactory experience … therapeutic support

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for preventive, curative or wellness purposes. It has a therapeutic aim when it aims to treat a specific symptom, whether physical or psycho-emotional, but it can also provide access to serenity and relaxation.

The essential oil is intended to be both an olfactory and therapeutic companion in your daily life.

The atmosphere of a place is magnified by the diffusion of one or more essential oils selected with finesse and accuracy. Essential oils and essences then contribute to transport the human being towards an emotion, whether it is in order to provoke a “relational synergy” between the people present or on the contrary “the rest of the soul”, the relaxation and inner meditation.

Essential oils have a thousand and one secrets. We discover new ones every day, for our greatest pleasure.

In Latin and Greek, ” aroma “Means” aroma, flavoring “and” therapeia “Means” care, cure “. We are therefore talking about the therapeutic (medical) use of aromatic plant extracts.

Conversely, herbal medicine uses all the elements of a plant. Note that only the doctor (doctor of medicine) can claim to be an aromatherapist. The aromatologist, meanwhile, is a specialist in essential oils.
