Essential oils are complex mixtures of naturally occurring compounds that exist in some plants, flowers, leaves, wood, bark,roots and seeds.

There are several different ways of using essential oils at home.

BathsAromatic bathing is relaxing and effective, with the added benefit of the therapeutic effects of water. As essential oils do notdissolve in water, there are a number of ways they can be used. Relax in the bath with the door closed and breathe in deeplyto inhale the aromatic steam.1. Drop 5 - 8 drops in the bath and agitate the water.2. Mix 5 - 8 drops of essential oil with tablespoon of base oil such as sweet almond then add to the bath.We have also known Clients to mix with a tablespoon of milk.

How to Use Essential OilsSafely


Our Essential Oils are highly concentrated liquids that may be harmful if not used correctly. Oils are used in many differentways including medicines, skin and hair treatments and perfume.

Essential oils should never be used undiluted on the skin. Follow our simple steps to safely enjoy the many benefits thataromatherapy can offer.

1. Some oils can cause allergic reactions. Test on a small area of skin before using a new oil.

“What is a skin or patch test?”

A patch test should be carried out before using any new product. Simply place a little of the essential oil mixed with acarrier oil onto the skin of the inner arm. Check after 24 hours. If there is no itchiness or adverse reaction then it's fine foryou to use.

2. Some essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy (these include Basil, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Clary sage, Clove,Juniper, Lemongrass, Peppermint and Rosemary) or if you have any health conditions. Be sure to read about any safetyprecautions associated with the essential oil you want to use.

3. Less is More. Essential oils are highly concentrated and you may need just one drop. There’s no need to add more whenyou don’t need too.

4. Hazardous Essential oils. Not all essential oils are suitable for use in aromatherapy.

5. Essential oils should not be taken internally. A consultation with a professional aromatherapist should be made tofind out more.

6. Never let children use Essential oils without an adult present who understands how to use them.

7. Keep away from Animals & Pets.

8. If any Essential oil spills mop up immediately with paper towels.

9. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst handling Essential oils.

10. Essential oils are flammable – keep away from naked flames and hazardous areas.

11. Always store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Always use original containers. Avoid contact withpolished surfaces and plastic.

If in any doubt, consult your physician or qualified aromatherapy practitioner.


Methods of Extraction& Storing Essential Oils


There are 3 main ways of extracting essential oils from aromatic plants. These are expression, distillation and extraction.

ExpressionThis method is only used on citrus fruits. The essential oil in citrus fruits in close to the surface of the peel and are easilyobtained be squeezing and finely puncturing the peel.

DistillationThe Distillation process involves heating the plant material until a vapour is formed, then cooling the vapour until it becomesliquid.

In water distillation, the plant material is covered by water and heated in a vacuum sealed container. This method protectsthe oils as they can not overheat. When the condensed material cools down, the water and essential oil is separated. Thewater that is separated in this process is also used and is marketed as floral waters (hydrosol).

Steam Distillation uses steam under pressure to swiftly extract the essential oil. The hot steam helps to release the aromaticmolecules from the plant material and the molecules of these volatile oils then escape from the plant material and evaporateinto the steam.

The steam which then contains the essential oil, is passed through a cooling system to condense the steam, which forms aliquid from which the essential oil and water is then separated.

Solvent ExtractionFor the most delicate plant material, such as flowers, and for those containing only small amounts of essential oil, solventextraction processes may be used. The main advantage is that this method is gentle. The maceration extraction method soaksthe flowers in hot oil, which ruptures the cell membranes, this is then absorbed into the oil.The oil is then cleared and decanted.
