Aromatherapy Oils



Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine, which basically uses essential oils or aromatherapy oils, which are volatile plant materials, for the purpose of changing a person’s mood, cognitive function or health in general for the positive. How does it work? Well, it is believed, that aromatherapy works in two main ways: One – the direct effects of the essential oils and two – the influence of the aroma on our brain, through our sense of smell.


We all have heard of essential oils, and many of us have them in the house and use them occasionally, or even regularly. If you have children you are bound to have some Tea Tree oil in your medicine cabinet, to put on cuts and grazes, or in the bath to treat eczema or for the unpleasant job of getting rid of head lice. Or you might simply be a fan of nice “smellies”, using your oil burner to diffuse a soothing lavender or an uplifting orange or lemon essential oil. All of these are an integral part of aromatherapy.

Whether we inhale essential oils with vapour to clear our noses and throats – and cleanse our skin pores as well at the same time, put a few drops of a scent we like or one that relaxes us in a bath, instantly moisturising our skin or get a collection of great healing and smelling essential oils for our oil burner, we are bound to benefit from the soothing or uplifting as may be effects the oils and their scents have on us and our stress levels. It is easily done and creates a bit of me time, especially, if you haven’t got a lot of time to spare.


A lot of the aromatherapy oils can be purchased in packs and boxes to make them a very special gift for a very special person, who is need of relaxation, pampering and a bit of luxury. Some companies offer gift vouchers, so if you are unsure, what fragrance your loved one would prefer you can still make it a perfect present. So, if you are looking for the perfect way to unwind and forget about the world for a few hours, essential oils might be the perfect solution for you. And a bath together or a relaxing massage could also put a bit of spice and romance back into the relationship.


So, if you haven’t got the time to escape for a weekend pampering break or a relaxation holiday, you can create your own relaxation indulging in a bit of homemade aromatherapy. And if you search our website for fragrance products you will see many more ways to use your aromatherapy kit – add a few drops into a lamp ring and wait until your light bulb has warmed up the oil enough to diffuse and fill your room with the scent of your choice. Or why not try a plug in diffuser. It just couldn’t be easier – simply fill it up with the aromatherapy oil of your choice and plug in. Enjoy.
