True Backhousia

We have a magnificent Backhousia in the backyard and we often harvest the leaves for tea or just having the crushed leaves in the house.
Now I have it all in a bottle! Fabulous, thank you Secret Scent.

More about essential oils

Before chemicals, oils obtained from pure plant extracts (known as essential oils) were used to help improve the quality of life on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Since then, essential oils have been found to heal skin, strengthen immunity and influence moods and feelings, assisting mental conditions such as stress and anxiety. Essential oils have the healing ability to work both therapeutically and medicinally.

All Secret Scent products are 100% natural, and do not contain sulphates, chemicals or parabens.
