Have you ever noticed that certain scents can have an impact on more than just your sense of smell? Maybe you have a lavender or chamomile lotion you put on at night to relax and soothe away the stresses of the day. Or perhaps you have a citrus-scented body spray to help you feel refreshed and revitalized. Whatever the case, scents can have a much deeper impact than just smelling nice. This is where African essential oils come in! Essential oils can be a wonderful, natural means of boosting your energy, soothing aches or finding some extra calm. At Shea Terra Organics, our certified organic African essential oils are designed to blend together, add to skincare products, or even add to food for a myriad of different benefits.

African Essential Oils Benefits

As with all of our products, the Shea Terra Organics team takes the time to source organic and natural ingredients so every product can provide you with the best benefits possible—no fillers or additives here! This is the case with African essential oils too, of course. If you’ve ever tried aromatherapy before, you know that essential oils can have a wide variety of different benefits based on how you choose to use them. Aromatherapy can contribute to your psychological or physical well being. For example, our South African Lavender Maillette essential oil will provide a calming, soothing scent all on its own, but can be mixed in with coconut oil or your favorite shea butter moisturizer for a more lasting scent. Or, if you have digestive issues, try adding a few drops of our Madagascar Fresh Ginger essential oil to your bath or a room diffuser for a rejuvenating way to calm an upset stomach. Discover our African Essential Oils and the ways in which they can contribute to your well-being below!
