Green Valley Aromatherapy – July 2021

Dear Aromatherapy Friends,
Well summer has definitely arrived, the weather here in British Columbia has been uncommonly hot. Our downtown has been quiet as everyone scurries to the local rivers, lakes and beaches hoping to cool off. Despite the heat everything looks bright and cheerful. The streets are lovely and colourful with all the hanging baskets and pots around.
We’ve been busy at Green Valley putting the final touches on our new pricelist, which will make its debut in the coming week.
One of the changes you’ll notice is that a few of our hydrosols have been rebranded as ‘floral water’. Oftentimes ‘floral water’ and ‘hydrosol’ are used interchangeably and can be used in the same applications. We will have more information online and if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
As British Columbia’s Covid-19 protocols ease we would like to assure our customers that we will continue our cleaning and sanitizing procedures. As well, our staff will carry on wearing masks until they are all fully vaccinated.
With best wishes for a safe and wonderful summer,
Barb Greenwood

As a deodorant, deoderizer and purifier, Citronella essential oil is wonderful for cleaning the house, particularly kitchens and bathrooms. It can help eliminate and prevent the growth of fungus on surfaces as well as wounds, while also aiding the healing process. Can promote the expulsion of toxins and boost the immune system, reducing cold, flu and fever symptoms.
It is known mainly as an excellent insect repellent.

Profile on Witch Hazel:

Witch hazel is useful for burns, scalds and inflammatory skin conditions. It is excellent when applied on a cotton ball to insect and mosquito bites – it helps reduce pain and swelling. It is an astringent and anti-inflammatory.
It is also an excellent base for home made sprays, body mists or cleaning products.
