Aromatherapy is the use of Pure Essential Oils that have been extracted from natural organic sources like fruit, trees, flowers, leaves and seeds for aromatic and therapeutic purposes.
Likisma's Essential Oils are 100% pure and of the highest quality. They are very strong and should be used only as directed. We recommend that oils are not used neat on the skin, although a drop of Lavender, Chamomile, Tea Tee or Lemon may be used from the bottle for certain conditions.
