Did you know that way back in the Roman times Clary Sage leaves were used to fortify their wine during those wild parties of the aristocrats! The Romans had somehow stumbled upon the fact that Clary Sage’s narcotic properties were enhanced when added to alcohol!!

On a more health conscious note, it also has a sedative effect on the central nervous system, allowing for its other rejuvenating properties to get to work in a relaxed environment. The ingenuity of this herb is remarkable. It works in synergy with the body and mind, creating the most adequate environment for its healing soldiers to get to work. Restoring the skin by reducing inflammation and warding off bad bacteria.

This oil is so powerful oil, that in large quantities it has the strength to bring on an overdue birth!

From putting you sleep to inducing childbirth, Clary Sage is definitely in the running for the king or queen of the essential oils.

The Ingredient: Carrot Seed Oil

An untapped source of antioxidants that have the power to repair skin damage from too much sun and revitalise skin that has been under the pressures of smoke, bad nutrition, too much alcohol and the effects of harsh environments. This is the perfect post-holiday solution. Packed with Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B and E this is a super food for the skin. Research also indicated that Carrot Seed oil may be very effective in treating psoriasis and eczema.

We have been using Carrot Seed Essential Oil in our Forever Young Face oil for nearly 10 years… no wonder it got voted Best Oil of Year by Harpers Bazaar!

We have now developed a Limited Edition Body Oil to help with the aftermath of holiday fun. Its rich in lots of repair nutrients. To reinforce the power of the Carrot seed Oil we matched with Chamomile that is perfect to bring down inflammation and Orange Peel Oil to give the skin a wonderful healthy glow.

The Ingredient: Lavender

Lavender is the single most precious ingredient in the world of cosmetics and healing. It’s the Queen of Herbs, its essential oil is versatile and a must have in any medicine cabinet as well as in the bottom of every handbag.

Unlike other essential oils, pure Lavender can be used neat directly onto the skin, making it an all rounder natural First Aid Kit. Apply directly to mild burns, cuts, abrasions, spots, rushes and insect bites and stings. For tension headaches massage one drop around the temples or just inhale a drop on a piece of cotton. Its natural therapeutic actions are antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic (reduces pain), antiviral, fungicidal and detoxifying. Being both a sedative and an uplifting tonic, it will have a relaxing effect when used in small doses and an uplifting effect in large ones. So keep in mind that if you want to relax one drop of lavender is all you’ll need.

Keep a little bottle of Lavender in your bag so that its always there when you need it. Always buy Organic Lavender for its pure healing powers. I recommend:
