I recommend that you use Wisdom Bath Oil at night, it is full of Roman Chamomile that aids sleep and Frankincense to assist your mind to overcome that feeling of being overwhelmed. Shower in the morning and use Courage Body Oil, its energising and the organic Lavender and Bay stimulate balance and energy within your nervous system.

I have lost my libido and feel very unsexy can you help?
Yes, the Love Blend is fantastic for putting you back in touch with yourself and opening the door to love. Either Love Bath Oil or Love Body oil will certainly have a good effect as they are full of Rose, Ylang Ylang, Coriander and many other known aphrodisiacs. I personally recommend the Love Body Oil as this can be massaged into your skin after a shower or better still if you have a partner to have them massage your body. Avoid genitals as this oil is too strong for the delicate tissue. Also I recommend that you do things which give you confidence and make you laugh, whether that is a dance class, watching comedies, or take up that hobby you have always wanted to do.

Why are your oils so expensive?
We go out to find the best quality oils available. Essential oils have many different grades, medical or industrial. We use premium medical and organic grade. Industrial oils are cheaper and used more for products such as pine toilet cleaners, washing powders etc. We can trace all our oils back to the growers. With Organic essential oils only a certain amount is available each year. The quality depends on weather, terrain, rain, sunlight. All conditions affect the plant. This is before careful distillation which removes the oils form the plant. When you consider that Rose oil is more expensive per kilo than gold, it takes 1 ton of roses to make 1 kilo of Rose oil it puts things into perspective, it is also very labour intensive to extract. A lot of companies use Rose Geranium for a cheaper version of Rose. The perfume industry uses more Rose oil than what is currently produced in the world, so where does that come from? A lot of perfumes today are synthetically made in the chemist lab to smell as if they have rose or other expensive oils in them. For example take the wine market is a good comparison for Essential oils. What is the difference between a High Street Supermarket French White Table wine at £2.99 and a bottle of good French white from a named Vineyard? Like the vines they can have a good year or bad year due to weather, too much sun, too little rain or vice versa can ruin a good crop. Vines grown on a certain slope that gets the right amount of sunlight, on a fertile well drained soil produces better grapes than the vineyard down the hillside that is less fertile and is in shade for part of the day. A generic French Table wine is a mix of all grapes from across France on different terrain and of different quality. Add tannins and other concoctions to make is palatable and there you go £2.99! A wine that is made from one vineyard with perfect conditions for growing and a good season, and skilful blending by the master winemakers produces an astounding wine. We can trace all our suppliers of essential oils back to the country and the ground where the plant was grown. Being organic means only so much is available so crops are not so readily available all year round and cost is at a premium.
A good tip is price. You pay for what you get. If you expect to pay £2.99 for Lavender oil chances are its not all lavender but has been “stretched” with other cheaper oils to achieve the price point for the shop or store.

I have arthritis and suffer joint pain can you help?
Strength Bath or Body Oil is potent to use as it is full of German Chamomile. This is different to Roman Chamomile which helps you sleep. German Chamomile is a renowned anti-inflammatory. Along with other essential oils such as Lemongrass, Ginger and Eucalyptus this blend eases joint pain. Also I do recommend that you look at your diet and increase your water intake and green foods, omit red & purple coloured foods as these are usually acid forming. E.g. tomatoes, aubergine, smoked meats, bacon, red wine, citrus fruits e.g. orange. See a good naturopath or herbalist who has more in depth knowledge on foods.

I have suffered depression most of my life, what can I do?
There are different forms of depression from weepy, to clinical to manic and more in between. Depression is unique to each person. However I recommend Wisdom Blend as it full of Frankincense, a known anti depressant, Lemon and Cedarwood amongst many other oils. You can have a Wisdom Bath before Bed time to aid sleep and use Wisdom body oil daily in a morning for six weeks. After which change the Body oil to Courage to energise. Depression varies from person to person but is usually occurs in people who are creative and spiritual by nature but have neglected this side of themselves. Creativity usually involves a period of reflection before the great idea is born. Be kind to yourself and read books that uplift and inspire. Cancel the daily newspapers and spend time walking in nature, observing the seasonal changes and natural beauty. Write a poem, sing, paint, value who you are and give yourself permission to enjoy life. If you are suffering from Depression please see your GP.

I am pregnant is there a blend I can use?
All our candles are great to use during pregnancy and have been used in the delivery room to create a calming effect. For putting on the body I would recommend you use after your first trimester Wisdom. We have ladies who have used all our blends throughout pregnancy without any effect as they were use to Aromatherapy oils before becoming pregnant. However as a precaution I would stick to Candles in your first trimester until we launch our base oil blend without essential oils.
