Aromatherapy uses essential oils to improve the health of your body, mind, and spirit. The essential oils have natural healing powers and can affect your mood positively. They have been used for thousands of years to help with sleep, anxiety, depression, stomach issues, stress, and a lot more.

Aromatherapy is a well-known art and science. In recent years, aromatherapy has become more popular which has attracted attention and interest from researchers and other scientific circles.

Each essential oil contains a unique mixture of natural, organic (organic in the chemistry sense, in that it contains carbon) chemical compounds. These compounds are volatile, which means that they evaporate quickly. When they evaporate and are then inhaled, the essential oils affect the nerves located in the nose, which are closely connected to the part of the brain where memories and emotions are created and stored. Pleasant aromas can enhance or change our mood, and certain aromas can stir up a mood or emotion related to a specific pleasant memory. This has been proven to be relaxing and health-promoting.

1. Check their website, the following should be present:
Information about where the oil comes from, both where it's sourced from and produced. The website looks proper - it doesn't look like it was built in a couple of days. Contact information for the seller is readily available with an email and/or phone number. There is good, solid information about each of the essential oils' properties and effects.

2. Price
If the essential oil is suspiciously cheap, you should steer clear. 100% pure organic essential oil is costly to source and produce. If you see an essential oil that costs significantly less than £10, there is a good chance that it is diluted or synthetic.

3. Packaging
Does the packaging look professional? If it looks very generic and old, you should be extra cautious when using it. Serious producers usually invest in creating high-quality packaging.

4. Selection in stores
What product lines do they sell in stores? A quality brand often specialises in one field, aromatherapy in this case. They sell only essential oils, diffusers and aroma products. If the same company also has a number of other unrelated products in stores, there is a good chance that they don't give enough attention to sourcing and producing high-quality essential oils.

5. Smell and strength
Essential oils are supposed to be strong. When you open it, you should be able to smell a distinct smell of the contents. And it should smell natural.

6. Batch number and expiration date
The essential oil bottles should have a clearly marked batch number and expiration date on the bottle. If there's a production error, it is important to know which bottles are affected. Unopened essential oils normally have a 3-year shelf life.

In understanding at least the basics of essential oils and how they work, you will know how you can use them effectively in your everyday life. Essential oils aren’t a new idea; they have been used by humans for over one thousand years that we know of. We have only just scratched the surface in understanding their potential benefits. Until recently, the knowledge and benefits of essential oils have been primarily based on personal experience and passed on by word of mouth. But over the last few years there has been a fair amount of scientific research on essential oils, which has led to many of the positive effects and benefits of essential oils being confirmed and documented.

When essential oils are inhaled, they stimulate the olfactory receptors in the nose, and chemical messages are sent through nerves to the brain’s limbic system. This affects your mood and emotions and can also have some physiological effects on the body according to a report from the National Institute of Health (NIH, 2020).

Essential oils can be used by anyone. Essential oils can change our mood, helping us feel more relaxed, helping us focus, giving us more energy, or helping us get a good night’s sleep.

There are many ways in which essential oils have been very helpful in the treatment of mild mental conditions. They can facilitate deeper, longer, more restorative sleep. Feeling more relaxed in your everyday life can help reduce your anxiety and stress, improves your mood and helps your mind fight off depression.

Essential oils can also be used for those who want to set a fresher, more dynamic mood in the house. A homey, cosy home is a home that smells good.

The first thing you should do is consult a veterinarian. Your veterinarian knows best if your pet is more sensitive than others.

Most of our essential oils should be OK to use around pets. These are the products that we think are most pet friendly:
- Frankincense
- Geranium
- Relax
- Energy
- Sleep
- Breathe

Should you choose to diffuse essential oils around your pet, we recommend:
- Using only small amounts of essential oils, 5-10 drops
- Make sure that the room is well ventilated with a window slightly open
- Always keep a door open so that the animal can enter and exit the room easily
- Watch how your pet responds to the aroma, and if you notice your pet resisting, discontinue 

A diffuser will give you the same refreshing feeling as standing next to a waterfall, while at the same time adding essential oils to the refreshing air you breathe. Enjoy the 100% natural benefits that essential oils offer in the easiest way possible. Essential oils come directly from plant extracts and emit fresh and floral scents.

In each diffuser you will find a small ceramic plate that creates a cool, odourless water vapour when vibrated, just like the mist you find around a waterfall. When you add essential oils, this vibration breaks the essential oils into microscopic particles. The diffuser spreads this mist of water and essential oil out into the air you breathe.

By diffusing essential oils, you take nature’s rich properties into your home, office or anywhere else you want to use it indoors. If you are looking to be more calm, relaxed, more focused, or to have more energy, there are diffuser mixes of essential oils that can help with just that.A diffuser can also help make your home feel a little homier and can add to the fine-looking decor of your home.

The safest, most effective and most popular way to use essential oils is in an aroma diffuser. A diffuser will fill your home with the aroma of essential oils, including the air you breathe. A diffuser gives you the same feeling as standing by a waterfall because of the mist it emits, while adding essential oils to the air you breathe.

If you are considering getting a diffuser, you need an efficient, high quality diffuser. There is a big difference in the quality of diffusers, and it’s important that you pick one that will best disperse the essential oils, that controls how much oil is dispersed and where it goes. Many also put a lot of thought into the look and design of a diffuser so it fits well with their home decor.

Inside each diffuser is a small ceramic plate that creates a cool, odourless water mist when vibrating, just like the steam around a waterfall. This vibration breaks the added essential oils into microscopic particles and spreads the mist in the air, so you can refresh your home easily. The volant diffusers produce 2.5 million vibrations per second to create the mist.

The volant diffuser is an aroma diffuser utilizing ultrasonic technology and is designed to disperse scents from essential oils. The diffuser can cover an area of approximately 40 sqm.

Since the diffuser is based on ultrasonic technology, it creates steam and therefore adds some moisture into the air. If you use the volant diffuser at your workplace or where you sleep, increased humidity will be one of the benefits but not as much as a traditional air humidifier would. 

Yes, some berries, flowers, leaves and roots are edible, but unless you have picked them in the garden or purchased them at a supermarket, you should be cautious of eating them at random. The same rule goes for essential oils. Essential oils come directly from plant extracts and are very concentrated and strong. In addition, there has been little research on the internal use of essential oils and their effects.

Essential oils are made to be used aromatically, and using them in a diffuser is the absolute safest.
