1. Can I have a treatment
or use aromatherapy products if I am pregnant or nursing?
Yes, but only after consulting with a registered aromatherapist.
Many essential oils are not suitable for pregnant women.
Registered aromatherapists are trained and skilled at
choosing the oils to fit your specific needs. Some essential
oils are very good for helping a woman in labor.

2. What is the difference between Fragrance oil/perfume
and Essential oils?
Fragrance oils and perfumes contain synthetic ingredients
that have been combined in a laboratory to replicate natural
smells. Many of these synthetic ingredients are harmful
to our health. It is interesting to note that even with
all our technological advances scientist still cannot
replicate essential oils completely. For example, Eucalyptus
essential oil has around 250 components. Scientists have
only been able to reproduce 30 of the 250 components.
Many people who have allergies and sensitivities to perfume
and fragrance oils do not experience these problems with
Essential Oils. Essential Oils contain only pure plant
essences. Back to Top
Why are essential oils and aromatherapy products
so expensive?
Essential oils are concentrated plant material. It takes
a large amount of plant matter to make up a small amount
of essential oil. For example, it takes 2 tons of fresh
rose petals to make 1kg of rose oil. However, because
essential oils are so concentrated, one drop goes a long
way. Back to Top
How often should I get an aromatherapy treatment?
Ideally, having an aromatherapy treatment once a week
would be incredibly beneficial. However, even small changes
such as using soap or bath salt blend with Therapeutic
Grade Essential oils will make a difference in your life. Back to Top

| "I
use the Aromatherapy Nebulizer from Chi Activate
everyday. Not only does it make the air smell
beautiful, it also acts as a humidifier. In
addition, when used with certain essential
oils it actual helps to clean the air. I use
it with my son when he has a cold or at night
to help him sleep. I especially like to use
it in the winter during flu and cold season.
It helps to disinfect the environment. I also
use Chi Activate's Aromatherapy nebulizer
in my professional life. I am a certified
aromatherapist and when I am giving massages
I use it to help calm my clients and set a
spa like atmosphere in their own home."
