The main reason I am into Aromatherapy is because I am not into modern medicines. I don't like the idea of using manmade chemicals to help cure an illness unless it's absolutely necessary. This is why I would rather try essential oils or herbs first before resorting to antibiotics, ect...
Nowadays, people fill themselves with so many different antibiotics and pills, that their immune systems don't have to work as hard as they are supposed to do, and so, over time it gets weak, then because they have a weakened immune system, they go down with all sorts of minor illnesses, coughs and colds, ect... then they take more pills................... and it becomes a never ending circle. Also a parent's weakened immune system is passed onto their babies. No wonder so many children go down with colds and flu or suffer from other ailments. We can see a possible future where humans (and some animals) will have to take pills to prevent illness because their immune systems will have become too weak.
Therefore we don't like to fill our own bodies with medicinal chemicals. This also applies to other chemicals that are found on fruits and vegetables to prolong their shelf life or pesticides that have been sprayed onto a crop. Because of this, I grow my own fruit and veg at home and I keep chickens freerange for their eggs.
Natural Aromas was established in 2002 by myself, Louise Jones. Being a mother I wanted to work from home so I could have the flexibility to look after and support my children. To begin with, I was trained by a qualified Aromatherapist (our old next door neighbour when we lived in Kent) who also runs his own Aromatherapy business. However, he couldn't give me the certificates I needed. So, after moving to Wiltshire, I attended an Aromatherapy and Swedish massage course at college and then went on to train at home using home study courses.
I am now a fully qualified Aromatherapist and am also qualified in Swedish massage. I have also attended other college courses inc beauty facials and manicures & pedicures. I am currently attending more courses in other aspects of beauty. I run my business from home and also offer mobile sevices, in the future I aim to open an Aromatherapy shop with therapy rooms.
The essential oils I use in Aromatherapy and in my products are sourced for their therapeutic value (see purity statement) and wherever possible they are organically grown, naturally farmed or wild crafted. I strongly support conservation and bio-diversity. Being a small business I do not have to restrict the quality of my essential oils by having to buy in huge quantities to satisfy market demand. It’s great to be able to pass this benefit on to all my customers. It has always been and always will be our policy to supply and promote TRUE Aromatherapy.
