ESSENTIAL OILS
The healing art of aromatherapy - the use of pure essential oils to
maintain physical, mental and spriritual health is an affordable luxury
for everyone. A few drops of Lavender oil added to a cushion will help sleep, Teatree oil is an
efficient antiseptic, Citronella will keep the mosquitos away and
Eucalyptus oil will help a stuffy nose.
 Before applying, essential oils are blended in a carrier oil such
as grapeseed or almond oil. They are used externally for massage or is added for scent to soaps,
candles, pillows or pot pourri. We stock pure essential oils from
reliable UK sources.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is one of the most useful oils. It is antiseptic, it relieves
skin inflammation and is good for burns and scalds or insect bites. A few drops massaged into
the temples or the back of the neck can bring relief to headache, neck
and shoulder tension. A few drops on a pillow will help sleep -
especially good and comforting for children.
Helpful for high blood pressure, palpitations and other cardiac
problems, lavender will also help depression, anxiety and insomnia. If you have only one oil, this is
the one to have.
