With emotions and stress as the top source for weight concerns, a new body treatment has incorporated the aromachological benefits of essential oils and massage methods for overall well-being and balance.

Aromatic Blends for Balance

These 100% pure and natural essential oils and plant oils are pure concentrates of active ingredients.
