The Power of Essential Oils
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and impact the Amygdala – the emotional center of the brain. This sensory journey will soothe and balance your mind & mood. Februarius Purity | Beauty Balance & Clarity spray is an aromatherapy blend of Jasmine, Rose, Neroli, & Ylang-Ylang essential oils that create a complex, rich scent profile to renew your sense of balance and peace.
Holistic aromatherapy means healing holistically. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from specific plants and plant parts AND as a group are one of the most highly active and effective cosmeceuticals in natural skin care today.
Essential oils differ from fragrant oils in that they are not chemically constituted by man. Essential Oils are the ingredients of aromatherapy and for aromatherapy to have therapeutic benefits, it is vital to use the highest quality pure essential oils. It is also important to avoid inferior commercial grades or synthetic imitations. Grade A Pure Certified Organic Certified Fair Trade sources are essential oils that I use.
Methods of extraction is vital and Cold Pressed (raw), Organic, Unrefined, Extra Virgin Oils will not have been heated more than 45 ºC(110ºF). Unrefined oils will have dust or small particles filtered without compromising the oils’ nutrients, vitamins, and fatty acids.
Essential oils are an important component of skin care because their small molecular size permits their penetration into the skin. Essential oils are also compatible with the skin’s natural oils and able to penetrate the skin to reach the deeper cells of the dermis layer. They also can enter the blood and lymphatic glands.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AROMATHERAPY OILS and THERAPEUTIC OILS? Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and impact the Amygdala – the emotional center of the brain. This sensory journey will soothe and balance your mind & mood. Holistic aromatherapy means healing holistically. Rejuventating the body and mind with the help of scent. The smell is so divine that you will remember it. It involves a treatment using herbs essence ( extracted from flowers & fruits) to offer psychological and physiological benefits. Avoid a treatment made from high smelling adulterated fragrant oils which are made with synthetic fragrances.
Therapeutic oils are sourced from their own habitat with no contamination from polluted soil or pesticides. No fillers or artificial ingredients are added.
