Here
are interesting facts about some of our favorite essence oil fragrances
and Aromatherapy
The
beneficial, balanced scent of Lavender
Lavender Essence Oil (or Lavender Essential Oil) comes from the
lilac-purple flowering tips of a shrub originally found in southern
Europe and Great Britain but it is also cultivated in many other
countries all over the world.
In ancient times, the powers believed to be associated with lavender
were: Love, Chastity, Peace, Longevity, Protection, Sleep, Purification
and Happiness. Lavender was used in the 18th century in perfumes
and soaps.
For centuries, Lavender was believed to have magical powers. Some
of the uses of Lavender included love spells. The scent of Lavender
was believed to attract men. The fragrance was worn often by prostitutes
several centuries ago to attract customers. Love letters were often
scented with Lavender to give them greater potency. The aroma of
Lavender was considered conducive to a long life. Lavender was also
used in healing mixtures and worn to protect against evil and added
to baths for purification.
In the Renaissance, it was believed that Lavender together with
Rosemary would preserve the chastity of a woman. It was also believed
that the scent of Lavender placed under your pillow while making
a wish before you fell asleep at night, would make your wish come
true if anything relating to your wish showed up in your dream.
There are many varieties of Lavender from all over the world, but
the beneficial applications of balancing the body and the mind remain
the same.
The clear, light, flowery aroma of Lavender essence oil is the most
popular essence oil in the United States, far outselling all others.

The
clarifying, cleansing properties of Sage
The herb Sage is highly valued for both its culinary and health
benefits. The name Sage is derived from the Latin "salvere",
meaning "to be in good health".
The
plant is a member of the mint family. The origin of Sage can
be found in Southern Europe, but today it is cultivated in many
parts of the world, including the US. The highest quality Sage
fragrances are considered to be French, English and Moroccan.
Sage Essence Oil is a colorless or pale yellow/green liquid
with an aroma described as nutty and sweet. The oil is extracted
from the tops of its flowers and from its leaves. Sage Oil is
a popular essential oil that can be used in the baths as a stimulating
fragrance and in Aromatherapy as a potent purifier, detoxifier,
anti-inflammatory and calming agent.
For centuries, Sage was believed to be a promoter of purification,
healing, cleansing, immortality, wisdom, longevity, protection
and wishes.
Sage essence oil has been used as a method to purify the body,
awaken inner guidance, clear emotional blocks and promote calmness
and clarity.
In ancient times Sage was burned at the altar or in sacred spaces
to consecrate the area and in homes to remove impurities, to
banish evil, to provide protection and to bring prosperity.
It was also used in healing incenses and sachets.

epileptic, pregnant or lactating. It should not be combined with
