Spring is closely connected with the Air element, so if you want to deepen your meditation practice and align with nature’s rhythms to cultivate inner balance, try incorporating essential oils into your practice that embody the energy of Air.

Our recommended Air essential oils are Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender and Basil, all of which are perfect for supporting mental clarity, creativity, and fresh perspectives that this season brings. They can help clear stagnant energy, boost our mood, and energise us for new beginnings.

To aid your practice try our Breath of Air Clarity Diffuser Blend. Add 2 drops of Eucalyptus staigeriana, 2 drops of Peppermint, 2 drops of Rosemary and 1 drop of Basil essential oil into your diffuser and diffuse while you meditate to embrace the energy of Air.

A new survey released this year by Endometriosis UK has revealed that the average time to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK has now reached 9 years and 4 months. The survey also highlights the struggles of individuals seeking diagnosis and management to help reduce the severity of symptoms:
39% of respondents reported needing to visit their GP 10 times or more before endometriosis was suspected. Additionally, 55% of respondents attended A&E with their symptoms, but 46% of these were sent home without treatment.

Endometriosis is a long-term (chronic) condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body. It affects 1 in 10 women and symptoms can be severe and debilitating. Common symptoms include; pelvic pain, painful periods that interfere with everyday life, heavy menstrual bleeding and pain during or after s*x. It is thought around 1.5 million women in the UK are currently living with endometriosis.

Our Aromatherapist, Nicole Barton, has experience of this condition and reveals how you can use essential oils for both physical and emotional support. Head to our blog to read more. https://tinyurl.com/ydy7vkt4

It’s not uncommon for children to become hyperactive or emotionally dysregulated in the school holiday. This can be caused by the change in their daily routine and sleep patterns or overstimulation from holiday activities, travel or additional screen time. They might also be letting go of any pent-up emotions they may have been holding in at school.

If you want to cultivate a bit of calm this half-term we’d recommend the use of any of the following oils.

Mandarin
Chamomile (German or Roman)
Lavender
Yarrow
Vetivert*

* Research has shown Vetivert to be particularly helpful for children with ADHD and ADD.

We recommended putting one drop of each of your three favourite oils into a diffuser and diffusing when you wish to encourage a sense of peace and calm. This is ideal in the afternoon and before bed.

These oils are safe to use with children over 6 months with the exception of Vetivert which should only be used with children over 2

We’ve all been there - in the trap of comparison. We’ve been scrolling social media, and suddenly we feel ‘less than’, or we compare our bodies to someone else - or our businesses, parenthood, our healing journey - or our ‘success’. It’s a slippery slope to despair, where suddenly we find ourselves lost in a black hole of “someone else is doing it better” - or “I’m behind’ or ‘I’m not enough’.

The truth is, this comparison is exhausting and it's disconnecting us from our own timing and our own beauty - having us feel ‘less than’, and like we need to do more. Comparison is pulling us out of our own path and into someone else’s timeline - which impacts our nervous systems. The more we compare, the harder it actually becomes to be ourselves.

Read Nicole Barton's latest blog which discusses how essential oils can help us break free of the comparison trap and come back home to our own rhythms, self-worth, gifts and uniqueness.

Is hay fever impacting on your sleep and causing you to snore?

An inflamed, congested nose at night makes breathing harder and promotes mouth breathing. This can lead to snoring and other breathing problems during sleep, such as sleep apnoea.

According to a study by scientist, Andrew Prichard of Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, essential oils can help to treat snoring. Oils that are particularly beneficial are those that have anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, decongestant and relaxant properties.

So, if you're suffering with hay fever, disturbed sleep and snoring, try making an aromatic pillow pad to support easier breathing and more restful sleep. Pop 1 drop each of Thyme, Lavender and Roman Chamomile onto a cotton pad and place inside your pillow case, so you can inhale the therapeutic oils as you sleep.

Want a little more presence and mindfulness in your day without the need for meditation?

Mindfulness is the state of becoming more conscious or aware of something. It’s achieved by becoming (non-judgmentally) aware of the present moment, noticing, acknowledging, and welcoming our thoughts, feelings and emotions - and our bodily sensations. And it’s really powerful work, which can be done at any moment. Whenever we are consciously bringing our minds to this moment, right now, we are being mindful - and we can do this, no matter what we are doing, or where we are.

One great way to help bring mindfulness into our day is to create a Mindfulness Spritz. We recommend mixing 30 drops of our Mindful pure essential oil and 100ml of Lavender Hydrolat into a spray bottle. This can be used whenever you are feeling tense or when you notice that you haven’t been ‘noticing’. To start with you can set a timer to remind yourself to begin your noticing practice. Each time, spritz yourself with your Mindfulness Spray so that your body learns to associate the scent of the spray with your mindfulness practice. Thereafter, you can simply use the spray whenever you like - to cultivate more presence and a more mindful approach. Each time you use the spritz the scent will drop you into the peaceful state you’ve been learning to cultivate more quickly, as you now associate the scent with a more mindful way of being.

Our Mindful pure essential oil contains a warm and heady blend of Frankincense, Lavender Sage, Spike Lavender, Clary Sage, Sage Dalmation, Patchouli and Petitgrain to induce a deep state of stillness, relaxation and calm. Try it now and SAVE 20%. https://tinyurl.com/vvpvzbjs

It is thought that up to 30% of menstruating women in the UK experience moderate to severe Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) or Pre-menstrual tension (PMT) is thought to be caused by a decline in progesterone levels in the days prior to menstruation. This causes a variety of symptoms which typically occur in the week to 10 days before a period is due. Symptoms can include fluid retention, bloating, sore breasts, headaches, nausea, sleep disturbances, tiredness, aches and pains, spots/acne, stress, depression, weepiness, irritability, loss of libido or appetite, inability to concentrate and even violent mood swings. Everyone’s symptoms are different and may even vary from month to month but will usually subside at the end of the period.

There are several essential oils that can be helpful in reducing the severity of pre-menstrual symptoms, and we have included a selection of the best oils in our PMT pure essential oil blend.

This 100% pure, therapeutic oil contains a balancing blend of Clary Sage, Sweet Marjoram, Geranium, Bergamot, Parsley Seed and Rose Otto which have been especially selected to assist with the physical and emotional symptoms of PMT / PMS.

Head to our website to learn more about this oil, its benefits and how to use it. Don’t forget we currently have 20% off our PMT blend and all of our other pre-blended essential oils and pulse point rollers, so don’t miss out! https://tinyurl.com/u2d52dwt
