Aromatherapy & Home

Aromatherapy is a holistic practice which uses essential oils for physical and emotional well-being. It’s often used in various practices like massages and inhalation using an oil diffuser.

Aromatherapy massage is a great way for yourself or a loved one to relax and unwind. It involves using essential oils blended with carrier oils chosen on their specific properties. 

 

During an aromatherapy massage, the therapist uses various massage techniques to relieve tension in the muscles and help you relax.

You can use essential oils for aromatherapy diffusers, blended with a carrier oil for a massage or added into candles or soaps. You’ll find many products are pre-blended for your ease and to make sure you’re using essential oils correctly.

Essential oils are highly concentrated liquids extracted from the flowers, leaves, stems, roots or bark of a plant.

You can buy essential oils for diffusers online or in-store at Holland & Barrett.

Essential oils are highly concentrated, potent oils so they need to be used carefully to avoid irritation or reactions. 

 

To make sure you use them safely, you should always:

Dilute your oils with a carrier oil

Patch test to check for reactions

Avoid ingesting them

Consult your GP if you’re pregnant 

Purchase quality oils
