Collection: Essential Oils

Essential Oils are extracted herbs and therefore often carry the same properties as ingesting/using the whole herb. They are often used in complementary medicine as aromatherapy to be applied topically on the skin as well as being diffused as an aroma into the area to boost mood, improve performance or reduce stress.

Essential oils are most commonly used for their aromatherapy properties for inhalation. This is either directly out the bottle/on clothing or through diffusing the aroma through a diffuser or humidifier.

Essential Oils are very potent as they are the pure extracted herb. For this reason, essential oils should be diluted into a carrier oil before being applied onto the skin. Carrier oils are oils such as Sweet Almond Oil, Calendula Oil and Sesame Oil. They can also be used in moisturisers and body butters to add a natural and organic fragrance.

No, many essential oils – including the most popular, can be toxic for animals and pets.
