Essential oils have been used in many cultures throughout history for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. While the oils are still in the plant, they provide the plants with protection against predators and disease, and also play a role in plant pollination. These same properties carry forward into the essential oils and provide a range of benefits such as: Reducing Stress, Anxiety and Depression; Relieving Headaches and Migraines; Helping Sleep and Insomnia; Reducing Inflammation; Moisturizing Skin; and Relieving Itching.

Safety

Essential oils are generally considered safe to inhale or apply to the skin, as long as they've been combined with a base oil. There are recommended maximum concentrations for each essential oil depending on the intended use and which ingredient(s) it is mixed with as the base.  We follow these recommendations to the letter when making our products.  As with any product, natural or not, you should test it first to check for any irritation or allergic reaction.

Essential oils are pretty powerful and are generally not recommended for children under 7.  If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a serious medical condition you should talk to your doctor first
