Often found in aromatherapy, essential oils have been used for thousands of years as they offer both a physical and emotional benefit.
Extracted from plants to capture scent and flavour, or ‘essence,’ they’re distilled and combined with oil ready for use.
How they Work
Inhaled or applied to the skin, essential oils act on the Olfactory System (sense of smell) to stimulate body and mind. With over 90 commonly used essential oils, popular oils within ESPA products include:
- Peppermint – refreshes the senses
- Lavender – soothing and restful
- Sandalwood – calms and helps focus
- Bergamot – uplifting and cleansing
- Jasmine – uplifts and relaxes
- Rose – helps improve mood
- Chamomile – improves mood and aids relaxation
- Ylang-Ylang – stimulates the senses and boosts wellbeing
- Tea Tree – stimulating and invigorating
- Lemon – revitalising and refreshing
