Hey there, amazing Jade Bloom family! March was an exhilarating ride, and we're not just talking about the weather transition. We embarked on an aromatic adventure, our very own Essential Oil March Madness to determine which single oil is our customers’ favorite! Here’s a summary of what took place.

Over the years, there has been a great deal of misunderstanding and misinformation about essential oils and aromatherapy. So much unreliable information can make it difficult to know what to actually believe. The widespread misinformation has resulted in quite a few incredibly popular essential oil myths. Our goal is to help debunk these myths and provide education about the reality of safe, effective essential oil use.

96% of people will deal with headaches at some point in their life, as headaches are extremely common and can happen for a variety of reasons (Cleveland Clinic). Migraines, often seen as a much more intense headache, impact over 37 million people in the United States alone (Penn Medicine). There are many misunderstandings or a general lack of knowledge surrounding headaches and migraines so we hope to offer some education regarding the science of both headaches and migraines as well as suggest some potential options for alleviating the symptoms that can happen with each.

When it comes to aromatherapy, typically the first thing people will think of is essential oil use. Although the benefits provided through the use of essential oils are vast and wonderful, it’s important to note that they can pose a potential safety risk if improperly used, particularly among children. It can be stressful as a parent to worry about proper dilution, potential adverse reactions, and which oils are and are not safe for your children. If this describes you, we encourage you to consider hydrosols as well, a much safer alternative when it comes to aromatherapy with children.

We know that, as parents, you want nothing more than to support your children as they navigate a world of complicated trials, emotions, and experiences. Children can sometimes deal with substantial emotional turmoil that they often can’t process or deal with, so it’s beneficial to be aware of different opportunities to aid your children in navigating their emotional journey. In an effort to assist with this, we are providing education on the potential benefits of aromatherapy for the anxiety and stress of children.

From 100% pure essential oils to non-toxic skincare, haircare, and cleaning products, Jade Bloom has a wide variety of products available. The Jade Bloom Team has spent more than enough time around the various options and we’d venture to say that no one is more familiar with their uses and benefits. We have compiled a list of each team members’ overall favorite product as well as how they like to utilize it. The result is one of the most comprehensive lists of the most extraordinary products that Jade Bloom has to offer. Our hope is that this list can help you make the decision on what to try out yourself, as well as see other potential out-of-the-box uses or benefits for products you may already own.

From a very young age, we are taught to apply sunscreen before we spend time outside, but as Jade Bloom has branched into the world of UV protection, we are beginning to realize that very few people understand why we should apply SPF, when to wear it, and what different kinds of UV protections mean or do. We are here to create a simple guide that will help you understand all of these aspects of sun exposure so you can make educated decisions regarding your skin’s health.

For many people, summer is the optimal time for adventure, exploration, and personal development. Unfortunately, a byproduct of Summer fun can be the risk of injury, sunburns, bug bites, burnout, and more. To help you cultivate the best possible experience this summer, we’ve put together a collection of what we consider to be must-have products for an unforgettable summer.

Whether you are a beginner with essential oils or you are on your way to becoming an experienced aromatherapist, you should be familiar with carrier oils, the benefits offered from them, and the reasons for using them alongside essential oils. The primary reason carrier oils are used is as a safe way to dilute essential oils and ‘carry’ them to your skin, allowing you to use essential oils topically in a safe way that allows you to experience their benefits. Many carrier oils are unscented or have a very light scent which means that they won’t interfere with the aromatherapy benefits from the essential oil itself. However, many of these carrier oils can also contribute in their own ways by providing additional benefits. Carrier oils don’t get the same amount of attention and focus as essential oils, so it can be hard to know which carrier oil to use for which purpose. We have compiled a list of a few of our favorite carrier oils and what they may be used for in an effort to help you understand them better.
