Our STORY
INSPIRED by NATURE
Hi, I’m Jessica the creator of Herb & Wild Aromatherapy. I wanted to create an aromatherapy candle that contains certified essential oils and soy wax, nothing else. Carefully handmade in my home, a quaint cottage surrounded by the beautiful nature of Herefordshire, the desire for nature inspired and non-synthetic smells was important to me.
CANDLES for WELLBEING
My passion for mental wellbeing is rooted in my own struggle with anxiety and depression. Something that particularly helps me is meditation, which goes hand in hand with one of the main benefits of aromatherapy; relaxation. I feel that taking the time to fully disconnect from our busy lives and letting ourselves relax is incredibly important for our well-being.
TAKING THE TIME to FULLY DISCONNECT from OUR BUSY LIVES and LETTING OURSELVES RELAX is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT for OUR WELL-BEING.
The PROCESS
I buy the soy wax in pellet form and have to melt them down and then add the essential oils when the wax is at an optimum temperature, so that it’s not too hot that it affects the oils and also not too cool so that the oils are able to fully integrate with the wax. I had to experiment to get the right temperature, how much wax to use and how much of each essential oils to add. I do enjoy experimenting with different scents and last year I had a limited edition geranium rose candle which was popular.
WIND DOWN & RELAX
Relaxation is so important for everyone, but especially those susceptible to anxiety. Within our busy lives we often neglect “winding down” time which can lead to poor mental well-being. Aromatherapy has long been used as a technique for relaxation, which is why I wanted to incorporate the benefits into the candles. To create a relaxing and positive space in our homes is incredibly beneficial for our overall well-being.
