Potions in the Press

Did you see us in The Mail on Sunday YOU Magazine (5th Oct)? In their 'Let their be luxe' feature, lifestyle editor Clare Nolan selected three of our essential oils for her top tips on creating your very own 'home spa'. As a less expensive (and natural) alternative to luxury scented candles, Clare selected our Lavender, Geranium and Juniper oils, used in a burner, for their relaxing fragrances.


To complete your own luxury home spa why not choose your personal favourites from our wide range of premium quality essential oils. Use in a burner or add a few drops to a warm bath!

Glad tidings from Glee!

Our exclusive range of therapeutic gardening products were particularly well received at the recent Glee Trade Show at the NEC in Birmingham - the UK's largest annual event for the garden, pet and leisure industries.

We were especially delighted that these products were then nominated in the prestigious Glee Awards for product and retail innovation.

And to top it all, our aromatherapist, Julie Foster, was also proud to lecture at the show on the natural health and therapeutic benefits of plants.

Training Courses

Private training at the Academy of Health and Beauty is proving very popular. Whilst there are many private training providers we are finding that people appreciate the small class sizes (four per course) which gives a personal learning experience tailored to suit the individual.

Whether it is products that you want to learn about or a particular aspect of a discipline (massage in pregnancy has been one such subject which attracts a lot of interest). We do have some last minute places at half price - just call or email and quote VIP200 and we will let you know what offers are available.

Gardening Essentials

Even with all this impromptu snow we know that true gardeners never stop thinking about what needs to be done to keep their gardens in tip top condition. Julie Foster, our executive aromatherapist, has prepared her Top 10 Natural Tips and Hints, to help all gardeners. To see Julie's advise visit our blog at http://www.aromatherapyblog.co.uk/.

Julie regularly contributes on a number of issues that our clients have emailed. If you would like to comment on a blog please do and if you have a query and are looking for a natural remedy please email Julie at julie@potions.co.uk.

We are pleased and proud to announce that we have been highly commended in the Natural Health Magazine Awards 2008.
