Additional Options

Aromatherapy works on many different levels. A smell can be profound, triggering memories, moods, emotions and more. Aromatherapy is a therapeutic way to treat different ailments naturally on many levels -- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

By taking in the aromas
of essential oils, you can improve your mood and enhance your physical health. (People who surround themselves with pleasant scents enjoy an increased sense of well-being.)

Essential oils are also easily absorbed through the skin. Adding them to your bath, massage, or reflexology treatment will enhance their benefits, helping support your immune system and increasing your overall health.

Essential oils are naturally antibacterial and antiviral, and many are anti-fungal and anti-microbial, providing another way to assist your body in healing naturally without unpleasant side effects or creating resistant diseases.

For more information about essential oils, check out our pages about:

Bloom* Aromatherapy offers an extensive line of essential oils that supports the health and beauty of your body, mind, and spirit as well as your home and garden. Our products are of
 the highest quality -- 100% pure and natural -- and many are organic. We expertly monitor the optimal growing seasons and conditions for our ingredients so as to never bring a product to you before its time. Because of this commitment, specific product availability may vary during the year.

Another thing to consider: The aroma of Bloom* Aromatherapy products must not be confused with fragrance. Fragrance is generated from synthetic oils. The aromas of our products are created from the pure and natural sources of the plants from which the essential oils are derived.

If there is an essential oil product that we do not currently offer and you would like us to add it to our catalog, please contact us with your request. We will do our best to accommodate your request.



Important Things to Know About Essential Oils

  • Essential oils are highly concentrated. Use them correctly and safely.
  • Less is plenty. When in doubt, use less.
  • Follow the directions for formulas exactly. (Refer to our conversion chart for measuring.)
  • Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil, such as our organic fractionated coconut oil or organic jojoba oil, before applying to the skin.
  • Do not apply essential oils neat (undiluted) onto the skin unless advised by an expert.
  • Cap essential oil bottles tightly as the oils evaporate rapidly.
  • Use glass bottles, such as the amber or cobalt blue ones that we carry, for undiluted essential oils and to mix essential oil blends.
  • If using a plastic container for formulas, add water or carrier oils BEFORE adding essential oils.
  • When making a blend with essential oils, mix them by gently rolling the bottle back and forth between your hands. DO NOT SHAKE.
  • Mix small quantities of aromatherapy blends as some carrier oils go rancid quicker than others.
  • Avoid direct exposure to sunlight when using essential oils from citrus fruits such as BERGAMOT, GRAPEFRUIT, LEMON, LIME, and ORANGE as they contain an ingredient that may cause skin sensitivity to sunlight.
  • Avoid PEPPERMINT OIL if you are pregnant, nursing or have high blood pressure.
  • PARENTS of BABIES and CHILDREN and PREGNANT and/or LACTATING MOTHERS should always consult a health care practitioner before using essential oils.
