Essential Oils & You

How I work…

Essential Oils are a powerful tool that can support various issues from serious illness, to the common cold. They can help stressful feelings in daily life and ease nasty skin conditions as well as being a gorgeous ingredient in nurturing skin care products. If you’ve ever inhaled the essential oil from the Eucalyptus tree, then you will have experienced the very obvious, immediate clearing effect it has on your entire respiratory system, from the moment you sense it at the tip of your nose, right down into the depths of your lungs. So, do not underestimate the effects a simple scent can have on the way you feel physically and mentally. As well as sharing many of the amazing properties of essential oils and the practical ways you can use them I always highlight the importance of ‘You’ in the equation and the huge difference the way you are can make to the outcome. For example, there is likely to be a noticeable difference in the way you and your body respond if you were to (a) slap a bit of oil onto a sore knee each morning, if you remember, before dashing out the door & legging it for a bus or (b) come home, set a comfortable place up on the sofa, support your knee with a cushion and gently massage the oil around your knee for 5 minutes, perhaps taking a moment to warm the oil before application and maybe even using a blanket to cover yourself so you can rest a while afterwards. Hopefully you catch my drift, but it’s not necessarily about having lots of time to do these things, as the oils are very versatile, and as with the Eucalyptus effects noted above, they can be very quick to make a difference to the way you feel- just a dot on your chest can help you breath more easily. I like to keep things simple and clear, and I always like to make sure advice I give to clients is useful to them in particular. I find taking a bath a gorgeous way to enjoy the oils, you may not particularly like baths, or you may not have a bath, so then there is another way we can find for you to enjoy them… be it in a face cream, or a blend for a burner. This is what I really love to share -that the oils are just tools for you to use to bring a little extra care, fun and nurture to your life and there are many ways to do this, but the choice to really respect and appreciate how special you are comes from you. You could bring just as much support and healing to yourself in the way you eat or cook, or the way you exercise or move your body. Using the oils is just another way of getting to know yourself and what works for you, wether it be a bespoke perfume blend to enjoy or a cream to fight a fungal toe nail infection.
