Aromatherapy uses plant-based essential oils to enhance health and well-being. Long known to bolster body, mind, emotions and spiritual well-being, essential oils are believed to have powerful life-enhancing qualities; perhaps, even to contain the life force of the plants themselves. We offer many different Aromatherapy Blends to help restore balance to your life, reduce stress and manifest your goals. Revered for their unique physical and symbolic properties as well as their healing power, plants and their essential oils have long played an important role in religious, ceremonial and magical practices. There are countless ways they can be used; in a bath, in a diffuser, in your laundry, on your skin (with the addition of a carrier oil), add to incense, or even as a wash.

Here are but a few ways to use essential oils:

Inhalant: Add 1 to 2 drops to a cotton ball and inhale the aroma.

Incense: Add 1 to 2 drops on a burning charcoal.

Cleanser: Mix 20 drops into 12 ounces of warm water. Add ½ squeezed lemon and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar.

Bath: Add 9 to 10 drops in a bath.

Message Oil: Mix 4 to 5 drops with two tablespoons of carrier oil such as almond oil, jojoba oil or coconut oil.

Laundry: Add 10 to 15 drops of oil per laundry load

Diffuser: Add 10-15 drops in an aromatic diffuser.

Room Freshener: Add 20 drops to 4 ounces of warm water and place in a spray bottle. Shake well.

Humidifier: Add a few drops to a humidifier.

For spiritual practices, blend 4-5 drops with either almond oil or olive oil.  Anoint your favorite talismans, sacred objects or colored candles. Rub some on your wrists and temples during meditation and prayer. Dab some on a cotton ball and keep it in your wallet or pocket. Dab some on your jewelry or simply rub some on your body. Dab a few drops on a vision board or altar. You can even dab some on your business cards, important documents or on anything that has significant meaning for you. Use the Room Freshener technique to change the energy in your home, dispel negativity and to create a more spiritual environment.

Do not use essential oils if pregnant or nursing. For external use only.
