What Is Aromatherapy and How Does It Work?

Aromatherapy tools and crystals

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to promote physical and emotional well-being. Scents like lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus can stimulate your brain’s limbic system—the part that handles emotions and memory. In short? A good scent can totally shift your mood.

Try This: Our Aromatherapy Kit includes a chevron amethyst platter, abalone shell, palo santo, and white sage—perfect for creating your own home ritual.


How do I use essential oils safely at home?

There are three main methods:

  • Diffusion: Add a few drops to a diffuser to fill the room with calming or energizing scent.

  • Topical: Always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to skin to avoid irritation.

  • Inhalation: Simply sniff from the bottle or place a drop on a cloth for quick relief.

Try This: Our Passion Organic Roll-On (15ml) is a pre-blended essential oil infused with crystals—perfect for on-the-go support and no dilution required.


Which essential oils are best for stress and sleep?

  • Lavender: The queen of calm—great for winding down.

  • Chamomile & Bergamot: Gentle, floral oils that soothe anxiety and support better sleep.
