Therapeutic grade essential oils are totally pure and entirely natural plant essences.  Aromatherapists uses reputable suppliers of wholesale aromatherapy products to ensure the purity and quality of their oils.  Pure essential oil should be unadulterated and free from synthetic chemicals or fragrance, which would impede it's therapeutic qualities.  Oils can be inhaled using a variety of different types of diffusers, including aromatherapy oil burners, nebulizers or candles.  Simply adding a few drops of oil to a tissue or to warm bath water can be effective ways to benefit from the fragrance.

Theraputic essential oils can also be beneficial when blended in aromatherapy massage oils and rubbed onto the body.  Depending on the blend of oils chosen, massages can ease tired muscles, promote relaxation or revitalize.  Pure essential oils can also be added to a base oil to make face creams to tone or rejuvenate, or aromatic roll on sticks, which can be useful pocket sized pick-me-ups.  Blends containing certain oils such as citronella, eucalyptus or lemongrass essential oil can be effective in repelling insects.  For high quality essential oils online there are several excellent stores selling therapeutic grade aromatherapy supplies.
