Aromatherapy is the practice of using naturally aromatic plant extracts, primarily essential oils, to support physical, emotional and environmental wellbeing. Essential oils can be enjoyed through diffusion, massage when properly diluted in a carrier oil, inhalation and other appropriate applications.

Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic extracts obtained from different parts of plants such as flowers, leaves, bark, roots, seeds or citrus peels. Each essential oil has its own unique aroma and traditional uses, making every oil suitable for different purposes.

Yes. At Elliotti we carefully select certified organic essential oils from trusted producers who prioritise quality, purity and sustainable cultivation. Each product page provides detailed information about botanical origin, extraction method and certification whenever available.

The best essential oil depends on your goals. If you're looking for relaxation, Lavender or Frankincense may be good choices. For a fresh atmosphere, citrus oils are popular, while Tea Tree and Eucalyptus are often chosen for natural home care and seasonal wellness. Our Essential Oil Library can help you explore each oil before deciding.

Most essential oils should be diluted in a suitable carrier oil before topical use. Dilution helps protect the skin and allows the essential oil to be used safely. Some oils require additional precautions due to their potency or phototoxicity.

Carrier oils, also called vegetable oils, are plant oils used to dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin. They also nourish and protect the skin. Popular choices include Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Apricot Kernel Oil.

Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic extracts, while hydrosols are the gentle aromatic waters naturally produced during steam distillation. Hydrosols contain water-soluble plant compounds together with trace amounts of essential oil, making them an excellent choice for everyday skincare, facial mists and other gentle applications. At Elliotti, we also offer food-grade organic hydrosols, which can be enjoyed internally by adding them to water, herbal teas, recipes and culinary creations, providing a simple way to experience aromatic plants as part of your daily wellness routine.

The best diffuser depends on how you plan to enjoy aromatherapy.

Ultrasonic diffusers use water and ultrasonic vibrations to create a fine aromatic mist, making them ideal for everyday use at home. They gently disperse essential oils while adding a light mist to the air, making them a popular choice for bedrooms, living spaces and offices.

Nebulizing diffusers use no water or heat. Instead, they disperse pure essential oil into the air as a fine mist, providing the most concentrated aromatic experience. They are ideal for experienced users, larger spaces or when a stronger aroma is desired.

At Elliotti, you'll find both ultrasonic and nebulizing diffusers, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your space, lifestyle and aromatherapy preferences.

Some essential oils are suitable when used correctly, while others should be avoided around young children or certain animals. Cats, in particular, have unique sensitivities to many essential oils. Always choose oils appropriate for your household and follow the recommended guidance for diffusion and topical use.

Yes, many people incorporate essential oils into their daily routines through diffusion, massage blends, skincare or natural home care. Variety and moderation are generally recommended, and it's often beneficial to alternate between different essential oils rather than relying on a single one continuously.

We believe aromatherapy begins with exceptional plants. That's why we carefully select certified organic essential oils, hydrosols and carrier oils from trusted producers who share our commitment to quality, sustainability and authenticity. Our goal is not only to offer exceptional products, but also to help you understand how to use them confidently through our growing Knowledge Hub.
