Aromatherapy Essential Oils

Essential oils have been around for centuries. Frankincense and myrrh being the first recorded scents gifted by the three wise men.

Plant essences have always been recognised as sacred, valuable, and deeply supportive to mankind, connecting us to the healing powers of Mother Nature.

A single scent can awaken a memory, shift an emotion, soften tension in the body, or bring a sense of calm without explanation. In this way they speak not only to the body, but to the mind, the emotions, and perhaps even something deeper within us.

Essential oils interact energetically and alchemically with the body supportting the environment in which our cells function. They do not force healing, they support the body’s natural intelligence to restore balance.

Working with essential oils can feel like working with nature’s quiet wisdom. 

There is already much information available about Aromatherapy. Lists of which oils to use and Charts matching oils to conditions. Its easy to explore the benefits of oils and understand their compositions.

The best way to begin working with oils is to explore your emotions. While essential oils can certainly help with physical ailments, it’s best to start with how they make you feel before attempting to self-diagnose. Try using them for specific emotions like anxiety or fear. You can even use them when you feel balanced and joyful; this creates a 'scent memory' that helps you return to that positive state when you need emotional support.

Knowing and Allowing with Essential Oils.

Knowing relies on the label; Allowing trusts your intuition. One is a rule, the other is a conversation with your Energy Body.

Knowing says: “I must use this oil.”

Allowing asks: “Which scent aligns with my energy today?”

Working safely with essential oils

As you begin your journey with essential oils, allow yourself to explore slowly. Start by smelling a few different oils and noticing what you are naturally drawn to. You can place a drop on a tissue or a piece of cloth and gently inhale the aroma. Sit quietly for a moment and notice your response both emotionally and physically. Your senses can often tell you more than you think.

When trying a new oil, always test how your skin responds. Apply a small amount diluted in a carrier oil and wait about 24 hours to make sure there is no irritation or sensitivity.

Essential oils are powerful and should be kept away from sensitive areas like the eyes and inner ears.

If you apply oils to your skin, be mindful of sun exposure, as some oils can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Always store your oils safely out of reach of children and pets. Some oils are not safe for animals, so it is always wise to check with a qualified veterinarian before using oils in spaces shared with pets.

If you have medical conditions or take chronic medication, it is always supportive to check with your healthcare practitioner before introducing essential oils into your routine.

During pregnancy, extra care is recommended, and professional guidance should always be considered before use.

Essential oils are natural, but they are also concentrated. Working with them mindfully allows you to receive their support safely and respectfully.
