PURE ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential oils, the versatile tools of the aromatherapist, are the essence of plants. They are the most concentrated form of herbal energy, representing the spirit or “soul” of the plant. They are responsible for the plant’s fragrance. Genuine essential oils are distinguished by a remarkable diversity of complex substances; an ever changing mélange of active ingredients, secondary components, and trace compounds which lend them their scents.

It is important to use only pure oils for aromatherapy. It is nature that creates each plant’s unique chemical combination. The DNA structure in the plant world is compatible with the DNA structure of the human body.

The Tinderbox is highly discerning about the quality and authenticity of essential oils and offers you an excellent range of pure, botanical oils from sound sources.
