Comments Eugény Couture, "Our Spa Essentials range is the result of our many years of experience seeking out independent producers to ensure we sell only the highest quality products.
"Plant extracts have played a huge part in the health and well-being of humans for hundreds of thousands of years. Even now more is being discovered about the effectiveness and abilities of these wonderful products of nature. Essential oils and aromatherapy in general can help to relieve and improve both our general health and specific conditions.
"Some essential oils can cause sensitization or allergic reactions in some individuals. It is always advisable to perform a patch test when using a new essential oil for the first time. Simply mix one drop of oil with a teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil - such as sweet almond oil or grape seed oil. Apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist or elbow and leave uncovered for twenty four hours. If no sign of itching, redness or swelling occurs, it should be safe for you to use the oil."
