So what's an Aromatherapist anyway?

Aromatherapists use Essential Oils (EO) along with a variety of techniques to aid in a clients mental and physical health and overall well-being.

Currently at Em's Apothecary, Em creates topical therapeutically dosed EO blends for both mental and physical well-being.

The simple science behind how EO work: 

Here at Em's Apothecary we believe in topical use of EO, we also recommend a carrier oil such as grapeseed oil, the carrier oil helps to evenly apply the EO while protecting the skin.

Essential Oils CAN burn the skin, create skin sensitivities and can exacerbate health concerns if not used correctly. 

Em's Apothecary also believe in using EO in a diffuser like the ones pictured above.

Natural, plant based healing can be easy.

Why Essential oils are so gosh darn impressive:

EO are very unique in the way they pass through the skin and cell membrane.
EO are well known for crossing the blood-brain barrier.
EO have the ability to circulate the whole body with in 20 minutes.
EO affect our mental status simply upon inhalation.
One EO can be used for multiple functions. 
Making Essential Oils more cost efficient.

I (Em) love using EO in my bath salts, fav blend being geranium and frankincense mixed into pink Himalayan salt and Epsom salt.

   

My (Em) current fav house blend is Happy Place, it's a great mood enhancing blend. But I must admit I love creating new blends, especially when I get to tailor them to suit a specific health need or goal.

Volcanic bead diffuser bracelets are the best :)

A little about this one women show:

Em's Apothecary started about a year ago, with some eBay amber roller bottles, Kmart white stickers & my chicken scratch handwriting to create labels.

I still use this kind of labeling for my own oil blends, new oils in the making etc, but thanks to Vistaprint I have some pretty labels for my bottles now.

Originally it was all about following my passion to start living a chemical free life, which with further study grew into a holistic lifestyle, an approach to life that looks at the whole picture.

I was posting on my personal Facebook page, but felt I needed more room so I created Em's Apothecary Facebook page, interest was growing, family at first followed closely by friends.

Word got out, Em's Apothecary's following grew, and I now have 7 house blends and offer a service of making personalised blends (custom blend).

To think my humble beginnings of dabbling with a box of essential oils that my mum in-law gave me has lead to my becoming a business owner! I tried the box of oils out of frustration, I was heavily relying on headache tablets and many cups of coffee to keep me going throughout the day. I knew it wasn't good for me but I didn't know what else to do, my new born was up all night with colic and I still had the rest of the family to look after during the day. Peppermint oil was the least intimidating in the box, so I tried that for my headache, the relief was fast! This is a miracle I thought, so I tried lavender in my bath, it was heaven. Next in the kitchen lemon oil, followed by using the orange oil in the vacuum cleaner bag. I was hooked, I had to learn more.

With all good lessons, comes mistakes! I made many, from signing up to pyramid schemes to putting oil in places you should NEVER put oil hehe. But my passion never stopped, I wanted to learn more,  the idea of helping people became a 'thing' I wanted to peruse, Em's Apothecary will help me to help others.

Let the adventure begin
