Being subject to mandates, stringent health rules and regulations can be tough. Add in very valid concerns and anxiety over the uncertainty before us, the possibility of becoming ill and how we will be able to deal with the fall out from the virus and many of us can go down the rabbit hole of what ifs and worst case scenarios. It's at times like these that diffusing a blend of Frankincense and Juniperberry Essential Oil can be so beneficial. Juniperberry & Frankincense Essential Oils Juniper berry is wonderfully calming, cantering and grounding. While Frankincense supports healthy mind function, promoting positive feelings and uplifts the mood. Combined these two essential oils provide a wonderfully potent blend that encourages realistic, grounded optimism. Something we all could do with more in our current situation.

We've had a number of our moonies ask if they can apply essential oils to their face mask?  The answer is both Yes and No. If you are using a cloth mask, a drop or two of your favourite essential oil or blend could be a fantastic addition. However, if you are using a surgical face mask then you MUST NOT apply any essential oil to the mask.

Mood Enhancing Essential Oil Blend Frankincense is known for boosting energy and mood. Bergamot is known to help reduce anxiety and of course Lavender is famous for its relaxing qualities.

There is no international or even nationally recognised reputable organisation which classifies or even certifies essential oils used in Aromatherapy practice as being of therapeutic grade.

Every day we're asked "Why are Moon Haven's essential oil prices so reasonable?"and it's often followed by ... "so does that mean your quality is not as good as XXXX or YYYY brands?"Nothing could be further from the truth. The biggest factor in our affordable prices is not quality (our oils a 100% pure and unadulterated - just as nature intended- check out or posts on essential oil purity for more info) it's the fact that we aren't a huge multinational Multi Level Marketing (MLM) company. You see MLMs have to inflate their prices so that they can pay their representatives as well their "uplines" a significant portion of the profits. They also have to cover  the cost of marketing and training, as well as meeting the company's profit expectations. We're a small family business At moon haven, we're a small family business.  Our marketing costs are minuscule, we don't advertise on a grand scale - we rely mainly on you and all our moonies spreading the word about what we do.besides our need for making a profit is modest - we're a family and we work together to serve our moonies (that's you!).  ❤️ It's our passion ❤️ Yes, we are truly passionate about helping people and love making our "moonies" lives better and more comfortable.  That's a huge part of our reward.. essential oils should be affordable Part of our philosophy is that 100% pure, natural, beautiful quality essential oils shouldn't break the bank. We want you to be able to use your oils every day and not be concerned about the cost.   While we also need to make a profit, our needs are modest compared to the larger corporations and so we can afford to pass on the quality and savings to you. ❤️
