Life is filled with ups and downs, often having us experiencing a full range of emotions on a daily basis, sometimes without us even realising. Essential oils can play an important role in balancing and supporting these emotions and bringing us back to centre.
When essential oils are absorbed through the skin, they enter the bloodstream which distributes the healing molecules throughout the body.
