How do the oils work...?

Essential oils are concentrated, volatile extracts from the fruits, roots, seeds, gums and herbs of aromatic plants and trees. They possess properties that can help to restore balance and promote physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing.

In the wild the animal kingdom has ad-lib access to thousands of plant species. They keep themselves well with an intuitive sense of timing, selection and self medication.

Essential oils are very complex, containing hundreds of different chemical constituents. It is the plants ability to produce primary and secondary compounds that gives essential oils their intricate complexity.

Primary compounds are necessary for plant growth, repair and reproduction. Secondary compounds are the plants defence system, protecting them from extinction, infection, bacteria and viral attack. It is these properties that make plant essences such effective medicines.

These complexities enable me to ease both internal and external conditions whilst also enhancing emotional well being.
