The Soles Of Our Feet

are prime absorption zones and anecdotal evidence suggests the application of essential oils can prove beneficial to our health and wellbeing. It is also believed the curative qualities of oils release efficiently via the soles of our feet, spreading quickly to other parts of the body.

Our soles are extremely rich in nerves and the practice of reflexology connects different parts of the foot to various parts of the body. 

When massaged into the base of your three middle toes, the anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties of eucalyptus oil are believed to relieve sinus congestion and ease muscle pain. Whilst a few drops of lavender oil massaged into tired feet before bed, should give a calm and restful sleep.

As the soles of our feet are hardy, people do apply essential oils without diluting, however there is insufficient evidence to be certain it is entirely safe when using eucalyptus oil.

An alternative that can be directly applied to the skin, is to either create your own blend by adding a few drops of our pure essential oils to a carrier oil of your choice. Or try our roll-on essential oils, blended using an organic sweet almond carrier oil.

Cover your feet with socks to absorb any excess and let the good oil work its magic. Your feet will be happy and smell wonderful!
