Essential oils have very small molecular structure, helping them pass through our skin and bring their unique healing properties into our body. Some oils also have a positive effect on the skin and, in combination with carrier oils or lotions, can encourage the process of cellular renewal – enhancing circulation and helping conditions like acne, eczema, oily skin and the effects of aging. Essential oils may help a wide range of conditions and ailments such as aches and pains, PMT, menopause, IBS, anxiety and stress and many more.

Of course, the effects are more than physical. Our sense of smell is among our most primal and connects with the areas of the brain that govern memory and emotion. As such, aromas can be extremely evocative and our essential oils can have a lasting impact on our emotional state and mood.
