Frequently asked questions

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts, primarily essential oils, to promote health and well-being. It works through the sense of smell and skin absorption using products like aromatic diffusers, inhalers, bathing salts, body oils, creams, and lotions.

Aromatherapy oils can be used in several ways:

- Diffusing: Add a few drops of the oil to water in a diffuser to spread the aroma through the air.
- Inhalation: Inhale directly from the bottle or a cloth sprinkled with a few drops.
- Topical application: Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to the skin during massages or as part of your skincare routine.
- Baths: Add a few drops to a warm bath for a relaxing experience.

Yes, Napiers is committed to providing only the highest quality, 100% pure, and natural aromatherapy oils. We source our oils from reputable producers and conduct thorough testing to ensure their purity and potency.

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should generally not be applied directly to the skin without being diluted in a carrier oil, such as coconut, jojoba, or almond oil, to prevent skin irritation or adverse reactions.

To maintain their efficacy, store aromatherapy oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keeping them in their original amber glass bottles can also help protect them from light degradation.

Aromatherapy oils can offer a variety of health benefits, including:

- Relieving stress and anxiety
- Improving sleep quality
- Reducing inflammation and pain
- Enhancing mood and cognitive function
-Supporting respiratory health

While many people can benefit from aromatherapy, some oils may trigger allergic reactions or are not recommended for pregnant women, children, or those with certain health conditions. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, especially if you have existing health issues or concerns.

Choosing the right oil depends on the benefits you’re seeking. For relaxation, lavender or chamomile might be beneficial. For a mood boost, consider citrus oils like orange or grapefruit. For cognitive clarity, peppermint or eucalyptus are excellent choices. You can also combine oils to create a custom blend that meets your specific needs.

Yes, aromatherapy oils do have a shelf life, which can vary depending on the oil’s chemical composition. Citrus oils typically last about 1-2 years, while more stable oils like sandalwood can last up to 6 years. Always check the expiration date and look for changes in colour, consistency, or smell to determine if an oil is still good to use.
