Aromatherapy refers to the inhalation and topical application of pure, authentic
essential oils from aromatic plants, to restore or enhance vitality and well being.
Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic plant essences used in aromatherapy.
The word essence refers to the belief that these molecules are the most ‘essential’
part of the plant, actually the life force which contains all the elements of nature.
Two pioneers in modern day aromatherapy, Drs. Francomme and Penoel, agree that
plant essences, in the physiological meaning of the term, are most certainly true life
essences, elaborated by the secretory cells of the plants which have tapped the photo-
electro-magnetic energy of the sun and have converted it, with the intervention of
enzymes, into biochemical energy under the form of highly diversified aromatic
molecules.
