Lemongrass is sometimes known as the ‘connective tissue’ oil because it helps to tighten and tone the skin and connecting tissues. This, coupled with its analgesic properties, makes the oil particularly useful for sports massage and for treating aches, pains, sprains, and strains.

To help soothe muscle pain, try blending 3 drops of Lemongrass in 15ml of carrier oil, with either 3 drops of Peppermint or Black Pepper, then massage into the affected area in a direction towards the heart.

Our essential oil of the month is Lemongrass. Steam distilled from the fresh or partially dried, finely chopped grass, this oil has a beautiful, refreshing, strong, earthy, citrus aroma with green, lush notes.

Lemongrass has an uplifting, energising and restorative effect and can be especially useful in the morning, sprinkled into your shower to surround yourself with fresh new Spring energy. It can also be a useful meditation or study aid as it helps to boost concentration and clearer thinking.

Known as the ‘connective tissue’ oil, Lemongrass helps tighten and tone the skin and connective tissues, making it useful for sports injuries, sprains and strains and after dieting when skin and tissue have lost tone and become slack. It’s also helpful at this time of year as an insect repellent. Read more about this oil on our website and buy now to SAVE 25%. https://tinyurl.com/wp2kn2u6

We can suffer with bladder irritation and urinary tract infections at any time of year, but they can become more prevalent in Spring and Summer as the temperatures rise. Not only can the warmer, more humid weather promote faster bacterial growth, it can also lead to dehydration and less frequent urination, which prevents the body flushing out bacteria. Increased sweating can also increase the risk of infection.

Essential oils offer fantastic complementary support for anyone suffering with bladder and urinary tract irritation. Not only do they support the body physically, but they can also tend to the emotional sensitivity that often accompanies this kind of irritation.

Violets are considered welcome “weeds” in the springtime garden, and we’ve just spotted this little beauty nestled in our lawn.

The sweet violet (Viola odorata) is a medicinal herb that has a variety of uses. Topically, the flowers and leaves can be used in a poultice, compress, infused oil, or salve for dry or chafed skin, abrasions, insect bites, eczema, varicose veins, and haemorrhoids. This is thanks to the plants cooling, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties.

The flowers and leaves are also edible and can be used in salads, pesto, cakes, infused oils, vinegars, syrups, and herbal teas. When taken therapeutically in teas or syrups the plant is known as a blood cleanser, respiratory remedy, and lymphatic stimulant. As with many other herbs with an action on the lymphatic system, it has a long tradition of use with cancer patients.

Safety note: Violets have many look-alikes, many of which are inedible or poisonous, so only harvest them when the flowers are present and if you are 100% sure that you have a violet.

In aromatherapy, Violet Leaf Absolute is obtained via solvent extraction. It is a very thick, green substance that will need warming in order to make it mobile. The absolute has the same therapeutic properties as mentioned above but should not be taken internally. It is helpful for skincare, swellings and bruises, bronchitis, sore throats, stress headaches, rheumatism, and poor circulation. Emotionally it is believed to comfort grief and loss and encourage independence and acceptance of change. It can also be beneficial for stress and insomnia.

For a lovely uplifting spring diffuser blend combine 2 drops of Violet Leaf Absolute with 3 drops of Bergamot, and 1 drop of Geranium.

Violet Leaf Absolute is our essential oil of the month for April – so buy it now and SAVE 25%. https://tinyurl.com/4hdbkr98

While Spring is often welcomed with open arms as it signals new beginnings, brighter, warmers days and more time outdoors, it can also induce negative emotions and mental health issues for some. This is commonly known as springtime anxiety, springtime blues or reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder, which can be brought about by things like increased light levels, social pressures and even springtime allergies.

If you’ve ever felt worse just as others are brightening up, you’re not alone. In our blog we’ll look at the heavier emotions and physical symptoms associated with spring, why they occur and how essential oils can be used to help calm, soothe and rebalance the mind and body.
