At STRONG BODY CARE, we use essential oils in our products because of their aromatherapy attributes. Aromatherapy is herbal medicine that utilizes the essential oils of plants to heal, uplift, or relax a person through massage or inhalation. It has been referred to as "the fragrant pharmacy".

There are approximately 300 essential oils. These highly concentrated substances are distilled or expressed from aromatic herbs, flowers, and trees. Essential oils are chemically complex and contain hormone-like properties, as well as vitamins, minerals, and natural antiseptics.

It is believed that the essential oil aroma activates the "pharmacy" within our brains. The neurochemicals, such as serotonin and endorphins, are the message that our brain uses to communicate with our body. Essential oils mobilize self-healing powers and directly affect many psychological and physiological processes. They are intended to complement medical care.

Uses range from curing headaches, easing stress, and stimulating sluggish circulation to treating respiratory ailments and ridding your dog of fleas. They come in a convenient form and are extremely versatile. A few drops of lavender in an ointment can be used to treat a burn or headache. When properly administered, these oils produce none of the harmful side effects found in chemicals.

The term "aromatherapy" was coined by Dr. R. M. Gattfossee who covered his badly burnt hand in pure lavender oil and was pleased with the rapid healing and minimal scarring. After further research, he published his book Aromatherapy in the 1930's. He is credited with discovering many antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties of numerous essential oils.

Essential oils provide us with a method of self-healing that is available and affordable. We hope you enjoy the healing effects of STRONG SKIN SAVVY products for healthier skin and attitude!
