Throughout history essential oils are being used for their wholesome benefits; to support health and well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from leaves, flowers, and stems of plants.
Every essential oil has its own specific properties and can contribute to a healthier and happier life. The usual way to use essential oils is to inhale them, for instance directly or by using a diffuser, both for the scent as well as for the therapeutic properties. Essential oils can also be used topical where they will be absorbed by the skin. Most common is a drop behind the ears, on the wrists or the palm of the hands. However, not all oils are to be used topical and you should therefore be cautious and ask advice before doing so.
Studies have shown that essential oils may help:
Boost mood
Improve sleep
Kill bacteria, funguses and viruses.
Reduce anxiety
Reduce depression
Reduce pain
Reduce inflammation
Reduce nausea
Relieve headaches
Improve job performance through reduced stress and increased attentiveness
At Senzis Sports and Massage Therapy we work together with KOTANICAL, the first company in Ireland to distill oil from natural native sources. This Irish distiller specialises in cruel-free, vegan essential oils. There is an extensive range of organic essential oils and aromatherapy oils. As part of their program also fantastic oil diffusers are offered.
Because we believe in the balance between body and mind and how essential oils can be an important part of that, we are a stockist for KOTANICAL Ltd. You can buy the essential oils in our clinic or can order them through us. The essential oils of KOTANICAL are also used in oil blends that we use during our massage treatments.
