We thought it would be useful for customers if they could buy not only the plants but the essential oils of some of the plants we sell plus other oils that are available. Aromatherapy and the use of essential oils is growing in popularity as an alternative way to treat common ailments - and they really do seem to work! Scientific research has proved this. Essential oils can relax and uplift you, can help you sleep, can help aches and pains and can be used for treating minor cuts, burns, bruises and skin ailments. They are also useful household cleaners, disinfectants and room deodorisers.
CAUTION - the use of essential oils has to be treated seriously and carefully. Some are toxic if used in excess or improperly, most have to be diluted before use. Please ensure you read carefully the instructions that come with the oils, and also do a bit of research into their uses. If you suffer from high blood pressure, epilepsy or are pregnant, please seek the advice of a qualified aromatherapist before using as some oils act as stimulants.
NOTE - we are not qualified aromatherapists at the Nursery, nor do we claim to be so. Please, therefore, do clarify with someone qualified any queries you may have concerning the use of oils. The information presented on this website has been gleaned from a variety of aromatherapy books just to give you a general idea of the use of essential oils. Having said all this, please don't let us put you off using them - they really are very good and far preferable to using conventional over-the-counter drugs!
