Selecting a product for use in my Brampton massage natural health care practice was not an easy decision. Over the years I have tried various products from a variety of producers and ultimately I have chosen "The Aromatherapist" produced by AYUS Essential Oils International for use in my massage blends.

As with most things in life we typically have to take into consideration the product's cost as well as its quality. In my case quality was of the utmost importance. I required products that are natural and pure. Not only do I apply it into your skin, but as you may well imagine if I was using artificial synthetic essences it would cause the skin of my own hands to deteriorate after a while.

I have also learned that the most expensive products are not always the best. The distribution methods and structure sometimes make the price of products to be unreasonably high without necessarily being a better product than that of other producers. "The Aromatherapist" is an excellent balance of both requirements.

AYUS Int'l derived its name from Ayurveda which evolved as a system of East Indian medicine, around 600 BC, with emphasis on the prevention of a disease. Today, Ayurveda is a unique naturalistic way, that depends on the diagnosis of the body's humours to achieve the right equilibrium.

Dr. Hozzel was born in 1944, and received his Ph.D. from Heidelberg University in world literature and culture anthropology. Together with his wife Veronique, he lived as a public lecturer in several European cities, had articles and books published, most of them focusing on the collective transformation of western society and man's study of expanded awareness about himself and his position in the universe.

Over time, he has had two particular fascinations; research into the understanding of consciousness and the studying of nature. These interests took him on many journeys to a number of places around the globe, meeting with traditional natural health care healers and famous practitioners of East Indian Ayurveda medicine. During this period natural plant essences became a major focus of his attention, and thus the seed for his company was planted. Ayus was formally established in 1989 in Germany.

His studies in the field of Aromatherapy, has culminated in a selection of over 500 varieties of pure plant oils. It is apparent that one must have a very comprehensive knowledge of the whole market in order to compare and create product lines this pure. In France, traditionally known as a leader in the production of these products, his products have become a trademark for the highest quality.

He has built close relationships with organic cultivators in locations all over the world who cultivate healing plants organically, and as a result, he has developed one of the most exquisite organic and wild crafted collections. It is important to him to support the smaller producers -- and only those who use cultivation techniques which are in accordance with the laws of Nature, utilizing manners of distillation which do not damage the natural essence of the plants. These processes can be assured through his personal touch with the organic farmers and distillers.

He speaks seven different languages, travels every year to many producers, and continues to personally select all the ingredients in his collection.

If you wish to perform your own independant verification on the natural pureness of the Aromatherapist product, try using terms such as " AYUS " or " Malte Hozzel " or " Orto de Provenco "

In addition to using The Aromatherapist brand in my massage blends I also have them available for purchase as a benefit and convenience so you may enjoy their benefits at home too.
