Why Choose Organic Over Non-Organic?

Organic essential oils are a healthier and safer choice for creating a natural, uplifting atmosphere in your home, especially when inhaled by family members. Unlike non-organic or synthetic oils, organic essential oils are free from harmful pesticides, chemical residues, and artificial additives, making them a cleaner option for aromatherapy.

This is particularly important for households with children, pets, or individuals with sensitivities, as synthetic fragrances can release toxins or irritants when diffused.

By choosing organic essential oils, you ensure a pure, chemical-free experience that promotes relaxation, boosts mood, and supports overall well-being.

Perfect for creating a healthy home environment, organic essential oils not only smell incredible but also align with eco-conscious and sustainable living values.

For families seeking natural alternatives, organic essential oils are the ultimate way to freshen your home without compromising health or safety.

How to Use Essential Oils

Massage – Both body and facial massage can benefit from the intoxicating aroma of essential oils. Always ensure that you add the essential oil to a carrier oil first, and never apply directly to your skin. A carrier oil, also known as base oil, is used to dilute essential oils before they applied to the skin.

Bathing – There is no better way to unwind than in an essential oil bath, calming oils like Lavender and Clary Sage are especially relaxing. Add 5-10 drops in a bath and disperse vigorously before entering the bath.

Steam inhalation – This is a really good way of helping to relieve blocked sinuses or congestion. Eucalyptus is one of the most popular oils for this. Fill a large bowl with hot (not boiling water), add 3-4 drops of your chosen oil then lean over the bowl placing a towel over your head and slowly breathe in the until you start to feel relief.

Diffusers – There are many diffusers available, one of the most popular being an ultrasonic diffuser which uses water to create a fine mist. These are a great way of enjoying oils throughout the day in your home or office space. Citrus oils are particularly uplifting. Ideally leave your diffuser on for up to an hour at a time, leaving it off for a similar amount of time.
