your wellness matters
August is National Wellness Month and as a wellness company, it is very important to talk about how to improve your feeling of wellbeing. I have been a holistic therapist for over 30 years. Holistic Wellness is the practise of treating the whole mind, body and spirit as one, stress can find many ways to show in your body if left untreated, from headaches, skin issues, IBS and many more, your body will tell you it needs help. By working with your body, you can feel much better.
Helpmeorganics was created to help my clients enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy at home. Our sleep recipe, help me it’s way past my bedtime, was developed for one customer who had not be able to sleep for too long. By having treatments in my salon and using the oils at home, she now sleeps, restfully. So i know essential oils are effective!
Forest Therapy Essential Oil Blend
Following on from the launch of the help me have some forest therapy soy candle, we are very excited to introduce the organic essential oil blend and Little Box of Essence gift set to you.
I believe in the healing benefits of trees, they are rooted in the earth and if you give them a big hug, you are tapping into the life force energy. Forest bathing is the practise of immersing yourself in nature, absorbing the sights, sounds and scents of a woodland. This helps to reduce stress, boosts your immunity and enhance your overall wellbeing. Its a form of mindfulness whereby you allow your thoughts to be in the present moment, concentrating on your breath and practising the 5,4,3,2,1 process. (five things you can see, four things you can hear, three things you can smell, two things you can touch and one thing you can taste). This can be shaken up as you want to, ie five things you can smell etc. Its a great way to reduce anxiety or overwhelm.
We have blended organic essential oils of Cedarwood, Ho Wood and Wild Black Spruce to create a calming, meditative, grounding blend, just like a big old tree.
In the Forest Therapy Little Box of Essence gift set, you will find an aromastone diffuser to use with the blend. it needs no water or electricity to diffuse the oils and can be enjoyed anywhere.
August also sees the arrival of our Muscle Therapy Balm

We use organic buters, oils and berry wax for our balm. Moisturising but not greasy, the perfect “slip” for a massage.

And finally …..
Today is Lammas, the halfway point between the summer solstice and autumn equinox when Nature is at its peak of abundance and growth. We too are feeling at our very best.
August is the month to mow your lawn, you have provided food and shelter for many insects but if you can, leave your mow until the end of the month and cut it on the longest setting to allow insects to find shelter this autumn. Do you remember as a child watching Daddy long legs dancing around, they were no numerous, the young grow in your lawn amongst other places so by leaving the grass longer, you will have given them a chance to live, thats a lovely thought to end with.
