HISTORY OF AN ANCIENT ART
Massages with aroma-therapeutic essences enhances the ability to experience
sensual perceptions and at the same time act as balm for body and mind.
For over 6,000 years people have known that certain plant oils not only have pleasant
scents, but also protective, healing and wellness-improving properties. These wondrous
properties and the knowledge of other cultures help us to come back to a balanced lifestyle,
that we seem to have lost lately.
The art of aromatherapy can cause the natural plant essences to cheer-up, energize, relax or
help us. The basis for the Aromatherapy is the volatile (ethereal) essences or oils from
specific plants, the miniscule drops contained in blossoms, leaves, twigs and roots. They are
scents that disappear as soon as they come in contact with the oxygen of the air. But they
are able to penetrate fast into the skin and will be absorbed through our sense of smell, our
skin and our breathing organs.
THE ART OF COMBINATIONS
Volatile or ethereal (essential) oils need to be mixed and kept with special care. The real
strength of aromatic oils can only be developed with delicate and complex applications.
Make use of our high-value oils together with our perfume-free Cream of Emotion for a
completely new feel of the skin. A massage with aromatic oils can emote small miracles.
Frayed nerves and cramped muscles can relax and soothed again.
