Essential Care

For the last in our series of blogs about plants that can help you kick-start the New Year, we’ve chosen one of nature’s  multi-tasking plants - rosemary.

If you’ve overindulged during the festive season you’re probably familiar with one of the main  properties of mint. Many of us start the day with a wake-up burst of mint from our toothpaste,  too but there’s much more to mint than a breath freshener.  Here are a few more interesting facts and tips about one of nature’s most purifying creations.

Receiving a bunch of roses is almost guaranteed to make you happy. But these incredibly beautiful flowers don’t just impact your senses through your eyes. Roses and the concentrated extract from their petals (e.g. rose essential oil and rose water) also influence you through their glorious scent. So much so that in aromatherapy, the essence of rose petals is dubbed ‘the queen of oils’. 

Continuing our theme of bringing some cheer and calm to your New Year, today's blog is about lavender - one of the most popular and widely used of all essential oils, not surprising considering it has such an impressive array of applications. From inducing relaxation and aiding sleep, to soothing minor burns and grazes – this herbaceous yet sweet and floral essential oil is a must for every household!
