Scented Saviours
How to boost your wellbeing with the power of essential oils

I was 18 years old and struggling impatiently to recover from a tonsillectomy. My older sister Alison, totally fed up with my complaining, gave me some Petitgrain oil to add to my bath, and I was immediately enraptured by its calming and positive effects. Ever since that day I have lived and breathed essential oils, absorbing as much knowledge as possible and using them to support me through my own emotional and physical ups and downs. They truly have been my Scented Saviours!
My huge passion for these amazing, powerful little oils duly inspired me to set up this website as a way of sharing everything I have learnt with other therapists and members of the public. I wanted to pass on all the knowledge and hands-on experience I have managed to amass over the years, to help as many people as possible learn about the therapeutic powers of essential oils, and to help them carefully and safely use them to enrich their own lives and improve their wellbeing.
It would make me genuinely delighted to think of other people enjoying the same sort of pleasurable, relaxing or comforting moments in their lives as I have in mine.
Essential Oils and Cancer Care
One of the primary goals of Scented Saviours is to help people living with cancer use essential oils to achieve a better quality of life. This is equally applicable whether they have it themselves or are caring for a loved one. Even something as simple as a sniff of lavender can help you drift off to sleep when you have a screamingly anxious mind, for example. I can vouch for this personally having used essential oils to support me during my own cancer treatment. More detailed articles and resource links on this important and sensitive topic will be added to the website as it develops.
Practical Advice
This site will also give you advice and provide information on some of the basics such as choosing and buying oils, making or using “blends” (combinations of different oils to create a unique result), and buying all the equipment you need to start enjoying essential oils and letting them help you in the same way that they have helped me through my life.
I will also provide advice on how you can get the most out of your use of essential oils. Sometimes the method of application can be just as important as the oil itself, and the available methods are numerous and varied – from simply dabbing a drop of oil onto to paper towel and sniffing it, to creating marvelous skin creams or soaps using essential oils as ingredients.
