Weekly highlight…The benefits of human touch and reducing stress
Human touch can reduce our cortisol levels leading to lower stress levels. It can help reduce our heart rate and lower blood pressure. In fact a lack of human touch can cause a physical stress on our bodies.
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…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.
Weekly essential oil highlight…Geranium
Geranium is a little like marmite. You either love it or hate it! Personally I love it. Not the actual plant as I don’t like the aroma at all but the oil I think is amazing….
Weekly essential oil highlight…Lavender
Lavender. The one essential oil that people will always hold some knowledge about it. Most think it is one of the safest oils but are they right?
Weekly essential oil highlight…Nutmeg
Think of the smell of rice pudding. Warming, comforting and calming. A childhood memory for many. Such a complex oil in both its chemistry and aroma. A prime musculoskeletal and psychological oil helping with many emotional issues.
