Aromatherapy oils for you.

Our fifth sense is smell, smell links you to memories and also emotions.

I use aromatherapy oils every-day in my therapy work and, in my home, I use lavender oil for relaxation and help sleepless nights, rose oil for emotional balance and to feel calm, geranium oil for hormonal teenagers and lemon oil to lift my mood.

True essential oils are obtained through distillation (steam/and or water) or cold presses.

Each oil has its own unique essence and inhaling the oils aroma stimulates a part of the brain that plays a role in emotions, behaviours, sense of smell and long -term memory.

Essential oils can be inhaled or diluted and applied to the skin.

There are 90 types of essential oils, each with its own unique smell and potential health benefits.

I personally feel you are attracted to which ever smell you need and repulsed by smells that you don’t.

I use aromatherapy oil mixes for my massage and holistic therapies to encourage relaxation and stress reduction, and to improve well-being.
