Aloe Vera has many amazing health benefits. Not only is it excellent for the skin (checkout our range of skincare gels https://tinyurl.com/59phzuzp), it is also now believed that it might possibly help combat Alzheimer's.

Scientists have uncovered promising clues that compounds found in Aloe Vera could play a role in fighting Alzheimer’s disease. Using advanced computer modeling, researchers discovered that beta-sitosterol - a natural plant compound - strongly interacts with two key enzymes involved in memory loss and cognitive decline. The compound showed stability, strong binding, and favorable safety indicators, making it a standout candidate for future drug development.

Love ❤️ this for our Rose Otto Hydrolat!! Try it now and save 20%!

Get • Most of us wash our bodies every day, but rarely think about what we carry emotionally. Conversations, crowded spaces, other people’s words, moods, and pain often stay with us long after the moment has passed.

In old traditions, rose water was not used only for beauty. It was used when people wanted to release what they had absorbed. Not as protection. Not as magic. Simply as a way to return to themselves.

It was believed that emotions leave a subtle trace in the body, especially around the heart and nervous system. Rose was linked to that space, which is why it was often used after grief, heavy days, or moments that left a mark.

Sometimes it can feel easier to love or be kinder to others rather than ourselves. The problem is, if we try to run away from being self-compassionate, by showing kindness and compassion to anyone and everyone but ourselves, we will eventually become exhausted.

The following essential oils are all heart-chakra balancing oils that are ideal for encouraging self-love, compassion and confidence. Choose any of these for your aromatherapy blends or try some of our suggestions further below.

Our essential oil of the month for February is Patchouli. This oil, steam distilled from the dried, fermented, young leaves of the Patchouli plant, has a rich, exotic, musky-sweet, spicy, herbaceous aroma. It's a relaxing, uplifting and sensual essential oil that is reputed to possess powerful aphrodisiac properties. It is also excellent for soothing, healing and regenerating the skin and for fighting stress, anxiety and depression.

We are very proud of this feedback. There are many good suppliers of quality essential oils but equally there are lots of oils on the market that perhaps are not as pure and genuine as they are advertised to be. There are also some that are ridiculously overpriced. ☹

We hope that reviews like these help reassure customers that we only supply 100% pure and genuine essential oils at fair prices.
