Essential Oils for Stress and Relaxing are a great support during times of increased pressure, and when you desire a little slice of calm. When we inhale them via aromatherapy, the odour molecules are believed to support a calming atmosphere.

What is aromatherapy?

For many centuries – as far back as 3500 BCE, Essential Oils had been used in ceremonies, as perfumes, and for health reasons. In the early 1800’s the study of Essential Oils for health began to flourish amongst the perfume distilleries in France, and in 1935 a French chemist named Rene-Maurice Gattefosse eventually coined the term Aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy is now used all around the world with ongoing research looking into the various properties of the essential oils of plants, flowers, fruit, and trees.
