Loreley essential oils

We create only organic products

Nadia Abrahams, the founder of Loreley Essential Oils, was inspired by her love of educating people on the use of essential oils and chemical-free beauty products.

This all started when a specialist diagnosed Sciatica, Fibromyalgia and Arthritis in my late 40’s and prescribed medication I had to take every day for the rest of my life, I realised then that western medicine has nothing to offer me, and started my journey searching for a natural way to combat pain, aid in reducing inflammation, and uplift my spirits NATURALLY, with no chemicals and JUNK! I discovered essential oils for pain relief, beauty and well being and has not looked back since.

Like most people life has had its trials and tribulations. Some things landing me flat on my back unable to comprehend the pains that life has thrown and other times where I have never felt more in the flow of life and on fire! It has taken me almost ten years to launch Loreley, I am beyond proud to share my knowledge and passion around essential oils, beautiful daily rituals and my divine responsibility of self-care.

Frequently asked questions

Essential oils are pure plant extracts with an aroma that is at least 70 times more concentrated than the herb or plant from which it is extracted. Not all plants contain essential oils, and only a small number of these are of therapeutic quality. They are not fragrances of perfumed oils that are constructed in a laboratory and are naturally free from harmful chemicals.

Essential oils can be graded in 6 levels, or star-ratings. The lowest grading is 1-star, or commercial oils, that are typically made from 100% synthetic ingredients. The highest grading is 6-star, or certified organic, pure essential oils. 
LORELEY only 100% natural, 6-star certified pure organic essential oils in our blends, and chemical-free skincare products. The high degree of purity of our products means that you can use less of it while still achieving the desired results.

The chemical constituents that make up an essential oil are bioactive creating fast, dynamic results. For instance, Lavender‘s constituents can induce a good sense of calm. Rosemary can create more of a ‘pep up’ reaction. All essential oils are antiseptic and antibacterial to some degree and can aid the body’s curative and restorative mechanisms when under stress or when illness invades. There is also a growing body of peer-reviewed studies supporting the benefits of essentials oils.
The use of essential oils is by no means a young science either. The earliest evidence of human knowledge of the healing properties of plants was found in Lascaux, located in the Dordogne region in France. There, cave paintings suggest the use of medicinal plants in every day life that have been carbon dated as far back as 18,000 B.C.E. Evidence and recorded history have both shown that the Egyptians used aromatic oils as early as 4500 B.C.E. They became renowned for their knowledge of cosmetology, ointments and aromatic oils.

When we inhale an essential oil aroma the chemical constituents travel up the olfactory system via the nasal cavity and into the limbic part of the brain (that governs emotions). The effect depends on the oil essential oil being used.

Stress is usually emotionally driven. Smell is closely linked to emotions. Because of their chemical constituents, essential oils can help change the way you think and feel within 4 seconds. They can help you sleep better, relax better and even think better.

Essential oils can be used in a number of ways including in an electric diffuser or vaporiser, in a spritzer bottle, in the bath, in a massage blend and by simply inhaling them. When we inhale an aroma those constituents travel up the olfactory system via the nasal cavity and into the limbic part of the brain (that governs emotions). Essential oils can also be used to supplement existing beauty rituals. One drop of frankincense essential oil, for instance, added to a skin cream can help regenerate skin cells more quickly.

Yes, they can, however, they should always be diluted into a skin cream or carrier oil like sweet almond, macadamia or jojoba oil. The only oils that can be safely applied neat or direct are lavender and/or chamomile.
