Essential Oils - Lavender

One of the well known essential oils is Lavender. It is a commonly grown flowering plant that is suitable for many climates. It is steam distilled from the flowering top, but can also be dried and used in sachets, soaps, etc. (Although the dried version will not be as medicinally beneficial, it is still good at assisting with relaxation.)
 
Lavender has been shown to perform as an anti-depressant, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and as a sedative. Lavender is also very beneficial to promoting the healing of burns, scrapes, or cuts.

What are essential oils? How do we use them?

What are essential oils and how can we use them?
 
Essential oils are defined as highly concentrated oils derived (through various methods) from plants, flowers, bark,shrubs, trees, roots, bushes, herbs, and seeds.
 
These concentrated oils are believed to have healing benefits to them, as well as aromatic properties. (This is the reason that we have chosen to use only pure essential oils for scenting our products.)
 
Essential oils can be added to your bath, your personal care products, candles, etc.

Are your skincare products making you sick?

Spring is upon us, and as we begin to venture outdoors, become more active, and appreciate nature more, most people want to start living a healthier lifestyle!
 
They will begin to change their exercising habits, begin eating more fresh produce as it comes "in season", drinking more water, possibly even begin taking vitamins or herbal supplements. All of these things are beneficial to your overall health, but we shouldn't stop there!
 
Have you looked at the ingredients in your favorite bottle of lotion recently?
