Spring is one of my favourite times of the year, the temperature is warmer and the sun shines brighter with flowers in bloom, however pollen fills the air and my allergies begin to act up. The first thing I do is grab my oil burner and pure essential oils for guaranteed quick natural relief.
Thursday Plantation is my go-to brand, it’s an Australian made and owned company, offering a range of health and beauty products all derived from nature’s oils. Their high quality range of 100% pure essential oils work in harmony with our body at a cellular level to promote natural health and wellbeing. They are packaged in amber bottles with orifice reducers to preserve the antibacterial effect from damaging light and dispenses the oil drop by drop.

I didn’t know about the benefits of rosemary oil. Very interesting. I think I need to have a shower with that product! If it helps with memory, it will be worth a buy for sure. 👍
Haha absolutely worth every cent 😊
Hey thanks for sharing this lovely post. I am not into essential oils as I am allergic to strong scents but I am now tempted to try rosemary oil given all the amazing benefits 🙂

Rosemary is generally a strong scent however if you mix it with water or a carrier oil, it becomes less potent in its smell without losing it’s therapeutic benefits 😊
