In a world where self care is the new healthcare we invite you to indulge in some easy DIY Aromatherapy in the place where we spend most of our time… work.

Citrus oils are renowned for their uplifting properties, they are fresh and allow you to find mental clarity.

The Bergamot and Grapefruit will uplift the spirits and Frankincense will help you focus on the day ahead making it a great oil for the boardroom.
Colds and Flus
Pine and Eucalyptus are great decongestants for blocked noses and allergy sufferers.

This magnificent essential oil helps relax the diaphragm, allowing you to breathe deeper, meaning more oxygen to the brain and a sharper you. Find time for yourself to find mental clarity before your presentation in a quiet spot in the office.
Desk Elbow
Bad posture at desks always leads to aches and pains. Regular massage is the number one go to for this, however when you haven’t got a great urban spa around the corner from the office keep a De-Stress Muscle Gel at your desk and apply to any aches and pains up to 4 times a day.
