What is aromatherapy, exactly?

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils — concentrated aromatic extracts from plants — to support physical and emotional wellbeing. 

Oils are typically used three ways: inhaled (diffuser or personal inhaler, the fastest-acting method), applied topically (always diluted in a carrier oil), or, in rare clinical cases, taken internally under a qualified practitioner's guidance only. 

Aromatherapy isn't a cure or a replacement for medical care — it's a natural, evidence-informed complement to it.

Most People Buy Oils Before They Understand Them. Let's Fix That.

Anyone can add a bottle to a cart. Almost no one is taught:
How much to actually use — dilution ratios that keep you safe, not guesswork.
Which oils are backed by real research — versus the ones that simply smell nice.
How to build a routine — for sleep, stress, cleaning, kids, and seasonal support that you can actually maintain.
What not to do — including oils and conditions that do not mix, pregnancy and pet safety, and patch testing.
That's the gap 108 Oils fills. Everything here is education first — free, practical, and grounded in real aromatherapy training, not marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Essential Oil Safety Questions, Answered

Do I need a certification to use essential oils safely at home?
No. You just need correct information — safe dilution ratios, which oils to avoid in certain situations (pregnancy, pets, young kids), and basic storage. That's exactly what the free beginner class and eBook cover.
How much essential oil should I use for topical application?
General guidance is 1–3% dilution for adults (roughly 6–18 drops per ounce of carrier oil), lower for children, seniors, and sensitive skin. The free eBook includes a full dilution chart by age and use case.
Are essential oils safe around kids and pets?
Some are, many aren't — it depends on the oil, the animal, and the method of use. This is covered in detail in the Kids & Family Wellness class.
What's the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?
Essential oils are extracted directly from plants and retain the plant's natural aromatic compounds. Fragrance oils are synthetic and, while they may smell similar, don't carry the same properties — so they're not used the same way in aromatherapy.
