​​The word Aromatherapy was originally used by French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse in 1920.In a laboratory accident, Gattefosse set his arm on fire and immediately thrust it into the nearest vat of cold liquid, which happened to be lavender oil. Instantly, he felt soothing relief and watched as the burn continued to heal quickly, with no inflammation or scarring. The profound healing benefits led him to a lifetime of research in a field that he termed “aromatherapy".
​Essential oils find their way into the micro-circulation, throughout the body to encourage cell growth and body functions via phytohormones (plants hormones), natural stimulants, balancers and soothers.
