HEAL YOUR BODY THE NATURAL WAY WITH ESSENTIAL OILS

Add plant-based wellness to your daily routine and feel better for it.

What if we told you there was a way to achieve optimal health without medication? And that you could reach new levels of wellness with essential oil-based products that are free from side effects and full of side benefits?

At True Aroma Living, we believe that the best way to heal the body is to listen to the body, and to support it with ingredients straight from nature. To us, natural wellness means choosing plant-based options for everything you put in and on your body. After all, you deserve the best.

Treat yourself from head-to-toe with products free from the bad stuff (like parabens, petrochemicals and negative side effects), and loaded with the healing benefits of plants.

Try something different and start your journey towards plant-based health with us. Here’s how to get started.

FOLLOW YOUR NOSE

Your sense of smell taps into one of the most ancient parts of the brain: the amygdala. Before we can even process language, the amygdala allows us to identify thousands of aromas so we can use our sense of smell to understand our world. Some of us may find the aroma of lemon appealing, while others may be more drawn to peppermint or fennel — it all depends on the individual.

Imagine trying to feel better by inhaling a smell you don’t like. If it sounds counterintuitive, that’s probably because it is. Pick up any one of our Natural Farmacy blends, hold it under your nose and inhale. If you like the smell, it’s likely a good blend for you to start with.

BREATHE DEEPLY

Focusing on our breath does the body a world of good. Put a hand just below your ribs, and breathe deeply and slowly so that your hand rises and falls. This allows air to flow more freely into your lung tissue. Your entire body will respond by relaxing and releasing tension.

Increase the benefit of deep breathing by using your essential oil-based blends to practice a True Aroma Living breath. Check out this video to learn how to do it. 

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Our bodies have a wisdom that is older than our memory. Tap into this source of knowledge by sitting quietly and paying close attention to how you feel. Starting at the top of your head, scan through your whole body and “listen” for signals. Do you feel congested? Is there tension in your shoulders? Did your lunch agree with you? Use the answers to guide your wellness choices, then try different blends and observe how your body responds.

START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

Just like changes to your exercise routine or diet, starting with what you are comfortable with can help you stay on track. Here are a few products you can easily swap for 100% plant- and essential oil-based options:

• Bath Salts: Not all bath salts are created equally. Many contain harmful ingredients or require you to use more than your body really needs. With our 100% plant-based bath salts, you only need a few tablespoons to give your bath time ritual a soothing uplift.
• Lotions: Many lotions on the market are filled with synthetic ingredients and parabens that can do more harm than good to your skin. True Aroma Living body moisturizers are only filled with the good stuff: natural moisturizers and the healing power of plants.
• Skin Care: The skin on your face is the most delicate skin on your whole body. That’s why it needs the highest level of care. Our skin care products are as gentle as can be and will keep harmful toxins off your face.
• Body Oils: Do you always read the labels on your body oils? If you’re not careful, you could be applying petrochemicals to your skin. Not only are they harmful, they’re also unnecessary. Replace synthetic oils with our 100% plant-based body oils for your softest skin ever.

BUT FIRST, PREVENTION

Whether you’re having trouble falling asleep or you’re prone to tension, turn to essential oils first when symptoms strike. But essential oils aren’t only good for treatment — they’re also a powerful tool for preventing wellness concerns before they even happen. 

Instead of saving your essential oil blends for when you’re not feeling your best, try using them when you’re feeling well so you can stay that way. Carry our Pocket Farmacy — a collection of our most-loved essential oil blends — so you can access wellness anywhere, anytime. When you get home each day, make a habit of turning on your diffuser to transform your air with wellness-enhancing mist and airborne essential oils.

Why wait until you’re already not feeling well to make a change for your wellness? Make essential oils a part of your everyday routine and your body will feel better, naturally.

4 WAYS TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS EVERY DAY

Layer up your wellness with tried-and-true techniques to get the most benefit possible from our blends

We believe essential oils hold the key to reaching optimum wellness. When used effectively, they’re proven to heal the body — inside and out — naturally. There are two ways to best access the health benefits of essential oils: breathing them in and applying them directly to your skin. Here’s how to get the most from your essential oils.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS? 

Before we get into how to use them, let’s talk about what an essential oil is. Essential oils are the life force of nature: concentrated plant energy found in the roots, stems, leaves and bark of plants. These powerful compounds allow the plant to stay strong and healthy — so it makes sense that essential oils can help us reach peak wellness, too.

People have been using essential oils to treat wellness concerns for literally thousands of years. Every essential oil harnesses a plant’s own special power, meaning almost everything in your medicine cabinet can be replaced with an essential oil-based alternative. From pain and stress management to aiding sleep and soothing allergies, essential oils can provide wholistic treatments for ailments from head to toe.

BREATHING IN ESSENTIAL OILS

Your sense of smell taps into one of the most ancient parts of the brain: the amygdala. Before we can even process language, our amygdala can identify thousands of aromas, allowing us to use our sense of smell to understand our world. Located in the limbic system, it’s known as the brain’s emotional centre. It aids in emotional regulation and is largely responsible for the creation of new memories. That’s why smell is linked to memory more than any other sense.

Here’s what happens when you inhale essential oils: aroma molecules travel through your nose to the olfactory bulb, a structure in the front part of our brain that helps us process smell. Once the molecules reach the olfactory bulb, they are sent to the centre of the brain, the limbic system, via your bloodstream. The limbic system, specifically the amygdala, then processes the aroma and releases neurochemicals that are relaxing or stimulating, depending on the essential oil inhaled. This is efficiently connects your mind and body to the healing power of plants.

APPLYING ESSENTIAL OILS TO THE SKIN

When you apply an essential oil blend to your skin, essential oils enter your bloodstream directly through your hair follicles and the tissue in between your cells. Once in the bloodstream, the essential oil molecules move to your body’s specific area of need. To get the most benefit possible, apply essential oils to areas where blood vessels are closest to the skin’s surface, such as wrists, temples, chest and neck. This technique allows for quicker absorption, helping essential oils get to work faster.

When adding essential oils to your routine, we recommend only applying blends in a carrier oil to your skin, never single notes. Most essential oils are very potent and, depending on your environment and your skin type, they can be too harsh if applied straight to the skin. We blend our essential oil blends with pure, neutral and skin-friendly carrier oils for safe, topical application. This way, you’ll know you’re getting all the benefits of essential oils without any risk.

Our favourite way to achieve the greatest levels of wellness is to layer up our essential oil routine, combining both inhalation and application methods. Here are our tried-and-true layering techniques:

1. DIFFUSE ESSENTIAL OILS

Make essential oils a seamless part of your day by using an ultrasonic diffuser. These small-but-mighty devices infuse the air you breath with beneficial essential oils. Diffusing essential oils naturally releases therapeutic vapor into the air, improving your indoor air quality even more. There’s a diffuser for any space or place: your home, your office and even your car.

2. TRUE AROMA LIVING BREATH

You can have wellness in the palm of your hand. It can shift your mind and body into a greater state of wellness whenever you need it, wherever you find yourself.

Here’s how to do it:

• Pick your favorite remedy and roll onto the palm of your hand
• Rub both hands together briskly
• Cup your hands over nose and mouth and breathe deeply
• Hold your breath for a count of three, then release slowly and calmly
• Feel the positive effects of a full hormonal shift
• Repeat as often as you like

3. OIL BLEND ROLL-ONS

Our oil blend roll-ons allow you to target areas of pain and discomfort directly on the skin. A convenient way to get wellness on the go, our essential oil blends soothe and comfort many ailments with just the touch of a roller ball. Roll oil blends on areas that need just a little extra love.

4. INHALERS

Our essential oil inhalers are the most convenient way to get a quick dose of our remedial blends. Compact and easy to use on the go, inhalers allow you to access your favourite blend without sharing aromas with people near you, like co-workers, partners and travel companions. Inhalers make it easy for you to have wellness with you, always.

Start by removing the top, then hold the inhaler close to your nose and breathe in deeply to get the goodness of nature.

Tapping into the power of essential oils can be as easy as it is beneficial. No matter when or where you need them, there’s a method that’s right for you. Make wellness accessible every day, all day — however you choose to find it.
