What is Aromatherapy? 

Aromatic fragrances, resins and oils from plant material have been used by various cultures for personal grooming, health care, religious and sprirtual purposes for thousands of years. However, the term aromatherapy was first used by the French chemist Rene- Maurice Gattefosse in 1937 when he published his book “Gattefosse’s Aromatherapy” which outlined his clinical findings from using distilled essential oils to help with a range of physiological ailments.

At the time the Gattefosse family was involved in the perfumery business and his intention in using the term Aromatherapy was to distinguish the therapeutic application of essential oils from their perfumery applications.

In more recent times Aromatherapy has evolved into a more holisitic approach that combines both the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to help balance, harmonise and promote the health of body, emotions, mind and spirit.

“Aromatherapy is a caring, hands-on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body and soul.” - Robert Tisserand. 

Zurma Essential Oils - Highest Quality Pure and Natural

At Zurma we go to great lengths to ensure that we only sell the highest quality pure and natural essential oils. We have searched the world for the best essential oils. Our in-house quality control system ensures that this high standard is maintained for all our essential oils. Every essential oil comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) test to confirm that they are genuine and authentic essential oils containing their correct active constituents.

The only exception to this is with the New Zealand small scale essential oil producers we buy direct from e.g., Lavender, Mānuka, Kānuka, Tea Tree etc. This is because we know and trust these growers who distil their own essential oils.

Finally, all essential oils have to undergo our own in-house smell, appearance and feel test and if they are not up to our high standards, we simply send the product back to the supplier. Based on this quality control process we believe that the 100% Pure and Natural essential oils that Zurma supplies to our customers are of the highest quality and are excellent for use in aromatherapy.
