Blend Oils

Aromatherapy is the use of pure plant essential oils to create a mood or atmosphere. Oils are usually diffused into the air, or diluted in a carrier oil and used in massage.

It is a wellness practice to support how you feel day to day, not a medical treatment.

The best oil depends on what you want from it:

• Relaxation & sleep: Lavender, Chamomile, Sleep Blend
• A cooling, refreshing feel: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Head Ease Blend
• Skin & hair routines (diluted): Tea Tree, Frankincense, Rosemary
• Focus & energy: Lemon, Orange, Peppermint, Focus Blend

When you breathe in an aroma, scent molecules reach receptors in your nose. These connect to the parts of the brain linked to mood and memory, which is why a scent can feel calming, uplifting or familiar.

Diluted in a carrier oil, essential oils can also be used for massage, where the aroma and the touch work together.

A simple everyday collection covers most moods:

• Lavender & Frankincense: calm and grounding
• Peppermint & Tea Tree: fresh and clean
• Orange & Lemon: bright and cheerful, great for freshening a room

Soft floral and citrus oils such as Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Bergamot are popular for evening routines. Diffuse them around 30 minutes before bed, or add a few drops, diluted in a carrier oil, to a warm bath.

• Bedrooms: diffuse a sleep blend around 30 minutes before bed.
• Office & study areas: Peppermint or Lemon during the day for a fresh, focused feel.
• Bathrooms: a few drops of Eucalyptus on the shower floor, away from the spray, for a spa-like steam.

Our oils are for aroma use only and not for ingestion. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and if you are pregnant, nursing or unwell, ask your doctor first.
