THE LITERATURE REPORTS THAT:
ESSENTIAL OILS
can contribute enormously to the health and appearance
of the skin
and this is discussed in the entries for
SKINCARE, DRY SKIN, OILY SKIN,
DEHYDRATED SKIN,
AGING SKIN, WRINKLES, etc.
AROMATHERAPY
is also used very widely in the treatment of
skin problems,
and here again, you will find
entries for

Essential oils, the distilled extracts from plants, trees and flowers,
have been used for thousands of years as medicines, cosmetics, and in
the spiritual practices of mankind. The ability of plants to
help in the healing process has been acknowledged and thoroughly
researched. Some of the research has been recently funded by the
United States' National Institutes of Health Office of Alternative
Medicine. We now know exactly which essences bring about a
rejuvenating and beautifying process.
We also know that different grades of essential oils
will enhance or deter your results.
