Essential Oils

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils, extracted from the flowers, fruits, leaves, stems and roots of flowers.Essential oils may be inhaled or absorbed through the skin.The oils are highly concentrated and should be used sparingly. For inhalation, place one to five drops on a tissue or in a burner or vaporiser. If you're using the oils for massage, dilute one to five drops of the oils per teaspoon (5ml) of base oil. If you want to add oils to bathwater, add four to six drops to a teaspoon of base oil or milk and mix vigorously in the water so the oil dissolves evenly. Research has shown aromatherapy to be effective for stress-related conditions, insomnia and emotional problems.

Some oils are contraindicated if you're pregnant or suffering from epilepsy or high blood pressure. Oils shouldn't be used undiluted, by the eyes or near naked flames and must never be taken internally without medical supervision.

All our oils are studiously selected, bought more often than not from primary sources, tested for purity and subject to rigorous quality control standards.
