Essential Oils are natural aromatic, water repellent liquids that contain highly concentrated compounds extracted directly from different parts of plants which include the flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, stems, bark and wood. They are not like other conventional oils as they do not contain fat. These natural and pure oils help restore a feeling of peace, balance, and happiness, whether used in aromatherapy, diffusers, oil burners, inhalers, lava beads, hair and skincare blends or homemade candles or soaps. They provide a calming, invigorating, revitalising, uplifting and relaxing effect. Essential Oils have a tendency to reduce anxiety, improve concentration and sleep quality.
