The Joy of Gardening

With Liz Seal, 

 

With the onset of spring, our gardens and allotments are demanding lots of attention. I love pottering about planting, weeding and caring for my garden. For me, there is nothing better than picking produce from the garden to eat, straight from plant to plate! Spending time pottering around with plants, soil under my fingernails, connecting with nature – what’s not to love? Continue reading →

Boost the Immune System

Diffusing or burning oils around the home can subtly fragrance and cleanse the air, while lifting the mood. I have formulated the Keep Well blend to stimulate the immune system. This will prompt the body to heal and protect us from the airborne bacteria which may cause ill health. The Essential oils in this blend will also support respiratory health, being antiseptic and antiviral. Emotionally, these oils will calm, ground and balance. This can help to slow the breathing and reduce stress. Continue reading →
