About Pepo Park
|
Essential oils are oils derived from plants. They have therapeutic
qualities. The science of using essential oils for healing is called
aromatherapy. Our interest in using and studying essential oils and our
own experience with essential oils to help with various ailments is what
lead Pepo Park to use them in our products.
The properties of oils we
commonly use: (this list is not exhaustive)
Lavender is widely touted
as a “cure all”. The most common use of this oil is for relaxation as it
is calming and soothing.
Citrus oils are generally
uplifting and leave you feeling refreshed.
Lemongrass oil is good for
headaches and lethargy. This may be why our lemongrass soap is our most
popular.
Tea tree oil is another
“cure all”. It is antiseptic, antibacterial, and
antifungal. It’s also used for skin problems like acne.
Peppermint oil is
refreshing and stimulating. It helps relieve mental fatigue.
Rosemary oil is another oil
that helps with mental fatigue and works as an anti-depressant.
There seems to be a theme: Uplifiting, refreshing, stimulating.
I wonder if it’s because we’re based in the cloudy Pacific Northwest? To
