Wellness Guide
Everything you need to know to get the most from your holistic wellness products — from essential oil safety to herbal remedy basics and daily wellness rituals.
Using Your Oils Safely
Essential oils are powerful natural substances. Here's how to use them safely and effectively.
Dilution Ratios
Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before applying to skin. A 2–3% dilution (10–15 drops per 30ml carrier) is recommended for adults. For children, elderly or sensitive skin, use 1% or less.
Diffusing Your Oils
Add 3–10 drops of essential oil to your diffuser with water. Diffuse for 30–60 minutes at a time with breaks in between. Ensure the room is ventilated and keep pets away from the diffusion area.
Topical Application
Apply diluted oils to pulse points, the soles of feet, or areas of concern. Avoid eyes, ears, mucous membranes and broken skin. Always perform a patch test 24 hours before first use.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store oils in dark glass bottles away from heat, light and humidity. Most oils last 2–3 years when stored correctly. Citrus oils have a shorter shelf life of 1–2 years.
Safety Precautions
Keep oils away from children and pets. Never ingest essential oils unless under professional guidance. Avoid during pregnancy without professional advice. Some oils are photosensitive — avoid sun exposure after topical use.
Carrier Oils
Popular carrier oils include jojoba (all skin types), sweet almond (dry skin), fractionated coconut oil (oily skin) and rosehip (anti-ageing). Each has unique skin benefits that complement your essential oils.

Understanding how to incorporate herbal remedies into your daily wellness routine.
Brewing Your Herbal Teas
Water temperature: Use water just off the boil (90–95°C) for most herbal teas. Fully boiling water can destroy delicate beneficial compounds.
Steeping time: Most herbal teas steep for 5–10 minutes. Roots and bark may need 15–20 minutes. Cover while steeping to retain volatile oils.
Dosage: 1–2 teaspoons of dried herb per cup. For medicinal purposes, consult a qualified herbalist for guidance on frequency and dose.
