After many years of searching for a good quality massage training DVD that offered value for money, last year we finally found one and introduced ‘Back and Neck Massage Made Easy!’ which has proven very popular. But some customers wanted more.

Learning to do a back and neck massage just wasn’t enough, they said, - ‘We want to learn how to do a full body massage!’ So this month we are pleased to introduce ‘Complete Body Massage Made Easy!’, which meets the same high standards as the first DVD because it was produced by the same company.

Sandalwood (Santalum album) is one of the oldest of all known aromatic materials and has a history that dates back over 4,000 years. Highly revered as a sacred fragrance by many religions around the world such as Buddhism and Hinduism, its wood has been used to make religious artefacts and fragrant incense for a vast range of devotional ceremonies.

The demand for this highly sought-after timber has led to over-harvesting, and over the past 10 years the availability of the heartwood that’s required for extracting the essential oil has diminished significantly. Read more…

This is not so much a new product but more the return of a firm favourite that has been unavailable for over a year now. Yuzu essential oil has proven very popular since we introduced it over 10 years ago, but for economical reasons our producer on the island of Shikoku in Japan recently had to stop producing the oil in favour of the more profitable juice extract.

Although several customers had requested them recently, we were not entirely convinced that our range of Bath Bombs would prove to be very popular when we introduced them back in October. Boy, were we wrong! Read more…

During the next few months we will be adding even more new products to our Aromatherapy Collection, so be sure to call back to check them out.
