The word aromatherapy comes from “aroma,” a Greek word signifying smell, and “therapy,” signifying care. It is thus a natural treatment using smells. The most ancient civilizations used aromatic plants for therapeutic purposes, including China, India, Rome and Greece, where Hippocrates, the father of medicine, practiced this soul-comforting treatment. Healers and therapists trusted its virtues. The sum of this intercultural knowledge is at the origin of today’s aromatherapy.

Phytosun essential oil aromas: the best of the plant
Aromatherapy is a treatment method based on essential oils. These oils bring equilibrium to the human body physically and psychically when they are used alone or diluted in pure, natural plant oils (extracted by first cold pressure, non-refined). These essential oils are extracted from different plants and produced by the secretory organs located under the cuticle, which is the plant epidermis. With the essential oil, we have the best that the aromatic plant has to offer.

An essential oil is made up of ingredients with a specific molecular structure, which gives them unique therapeutic virtues. It contains no proteins, fats, sugars, minerals or vitamins and is not a food.
