Here are some questions that we have been asked by our customers. You may also find that the Glossary pages are of use to you. Please e-mail any further queries to HelpDesk@LifeFocus.co.uk

Question: I'm so stressed out! What should I buy?

Answer: Take a look around our online Shop and see what you are drawn to. The "De-Stress!" department is a great place to start! We suggest a combination of products that will appeal to more than one of your senses; an aroma-rich, smooth bath oil with a CD of relaxing music, for example.

Question: Do either your "Party!" or "Morning After" Bath & Massage Oil / Bath Milk blends actually contain alcohol?

Answer: No; none of this range of aromatherapy oil special blends contains any alcohol. Pure plant essential oils are diluted as standard in a Grapeseed carrier oil (although you can request an alternative carrier oil at an extra charge). There are no other ingredients at all.

Party! is called this because it's a zingy mix of Clary Sage, Myrtle, Lemon, Orange and Bergamot that should get you in the mood for dancing! Morning After is for the following day, when you feel like you overdid the punch -or the Karaoke! This reviving blend of Rosemary, Peppermint, Rosewood and Lavender should make you feel human again.

Question: Are Bach Flower Remedies the same as Aromatherapy?

Answer: No. Bach Flower Remedies don't really smell of anything even though they are made from the flowers that give them their names - Wild Rose, for example, smells no different to Pine. All Bach Flower Remedies, including the Rescue Remedy, should be diluted in a drink and sipped regularly throughout the day. Dr Bach's system of healing focuses on the emotional issues that can get out of balance in all of us (but which might also lead to ill-health).

Aromatherapy oils ('Essential Oils') smell of a whole range of scents and Rose essential oil does indeed smell of the flower we see in summer gardens whereas Pine reminds us of Scottish forests. Aromatherapy oils are used to treat emotional as well as physical symptoms, but they are NOT to be drunk. They are frequently applied to the skin in the form of massage oils, bath milks, body lotions etc. They are often used very effectively in 'diffusers' such as electric or candle-powered 'oil burners' which fragrance a room for enjoyment as well as for therapeutic purposes, such as Eucalyptus to aid breathing if you have a cold, for example.
