From the 10th to the 16th June aromatherapy awareness week is a campaign that highlights to the general public, the wonderful benefits that aromatherapy has to offer.
Essential oils
Essential oil highlight…Cypress
Breaking links with the past… a diuretic oil helping excess ‘wateriness’ whether it may be colds, perspiration, menopausal hot flushes or constant tears…
Essential oil highlight…Sweet Marjoram
Also known as French marjoram and in botanical terms as Origanum majorana. I don’t know of anyone who has disliked this aroma. It gives out a warm, spicy, herby fragrance that immediately calms and soothes.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Myrrh
As Christmas is nearly upon us I thought I’d feature Myrrh this time round. A major skin oil with powerful healing properties
Weekly essential oil highlight…Petitgrain
This beautiful oil comes from the bitter orange tree. This incredible tree produces three essential oils, one being Petitgrain.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Ginger
Woody, earthy, pungent, warming, heating and grounding. All the words that you want to hear as the cooler days set in.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Clary Sage
Strengthening, restoring and uplifting. A major oil for the nervous system. One powerful oil with a wide range of actions.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Carrot Seed
Not an essential oil that many are familiar with but a powerful detoxifier of the liver and kidneys and a superb skin oil.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Bergamot
Do you smell orange? Maybe lemon, or could it be lime? Think earl grey tea with a slice of lemon.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Sweet Basil
Who would have thought that the pot of basil in your kitchen could be so powerful when the oil is used in aromatherapy? The aroma has me salivating. I adore its properties.
