Aspera

The term ‘Aromatherapy’ only started being used in the 1900’s, but the practice of burning oils has been around for millennia. It is believed that the idea to extract oils from wood was born when people noticed that burning certain types of wood gave out an alluring aroma. Later, oils started to be distilled from cypress, cedar and eucalyptus in order to be burnt for their scent. Clove and nutmeg oils were used to embalm dead bodies; rose oil - to relieve migraines. In the 20th century, oils started to be used to create chemical drugs, which consequently led to the creation of synthetic oils for aromatherapy.

At first, it seemed that synthetic oils held the same properties as organic ones, but after the hype quieted down, it was discovered that they were different on the molecular level, and not only were not therapeutic, but could potentially be harmful to our health, with such side effects as headaches, allergies, and skin and eye irritations. Today, many aromatherapy oils out there are still synthetic, though the general trend of the market is moving away from using synthesized materials.

Aspera is a company that follows this trend and produces only all natural, organic oils which are extracted from herbs and woods grown in the ecologically clean Siberia region. Aspera only uses organic materials and makes over 60 different types of oils for aromatherapy, as well as cosmetic oils that can help you bring more balance to your life and create a great platform for a healthy, all natural lifestyle. Tui, or lavender, Aspera offers you any kind of oil to fit your aromatherapy and cosmetic needs. 

Aspera has proven itself on the Russian market as one of the top producers of all natural, organic essential oils and has caused a great deal of interest in Europe and the US. The main reason lies in the question of what makes a truly great essential oil. It is known that what makes a great oil is a combination of several factors, such as how the products the oil is made of are grown, collected, and processed. Well, with Aspera, there is no doubt that the first is done in the best possible way – nature has its own growing methods, in which the company believes and does not meddle. As far as collecting and processing, Aspera follows high international standards in essential and cosmetic oil production – a custom that supports sustainable practices.

Whether you agree that non-organic essential oils are not as good as organic ones or disagree, there is no doubt that the less pesticides and chemicals used during the growing process, the better it is for the planet and the human race. This is reflected not only in foods we eat but in everything we use, including essential oils. If you take a look at oils offered today on the US market you will notice that organic essential oils can cost as much as fifty dollars for a small vile. Aspera offers the same oils at a much lower price - average price is between three and ten dollars – without compromising the quality. The reason is that the company does not import the materials used to make oils, rather uses natural products grown in Russia.

Remember, essential oils can be used to burn, during a massage, to draw a relaxing bath, or to rub into the forehead to relieve headaches and tension. Cosmetic oils give protection against harmful UV rays, brighten skin, improve skin tone and texture, and prevent pigmentation and appearance of wrinkles. Both, essential and cosmetic oils offered by Aspera will pleasantly surprise you first with their price and then with quality.
