Back then, they were simply either White Flower, Vicks Vapor Rub, or Tiger Balm for our moms, aunts, and grandmothers. Now, they're called Wellness oils.

Before wellness oil were cool, I have been an avid user of it; I sometimes dab some on my wrist or sniff them right off the container. I simply loved them. I have the same love for fragrant essential oils as perfumes because even as a young girl, I loved anything that smelled good. What I love more about wellness oils is that more than the average inhaler or mentholated rubs, you have the freedom to mix and match them to your heart's content so you can customize a blend that addresses your needs plus you get to take advantage of the bevy of benefits these oils bring in one go.


Mindfulness is a keyword in beauty nowadays, so it seems, and I think this is why aromatherapy products are on the rise. People are now more keen on discovering, trying, and experimenting with wellness products, goods that soothe the senses, mind, and soul. I have always believed that true beauty is about taking care not only of the outside, but the inside as well and with the increasing popularity of wellness oils, I think we've almost come full circle!

Thinking of trying out wellness oils? I encourage you! No, I force you haha! Because they're amazing! Here are some of my favorites and why I love them.

1. ZEN ZEST AROMATHERAPY ROLLER OILS
PRICE: P120.00
LOVE IT BECAUSE: Price!

- Zen Zest's the most affordable wellness oil I have. Their wellness oils conveniently come in roller ball bottle packaging so you can bring slip it in anything and take it with you wherever. The roller ball prevents spillage too. There are three variants: Grapefruit and Neroli to energize, Lavender and Sagewood to induce sleep, and Eucalyptus and Peppermint to uplift.

2. VENUS AND MARS ESSENTIAL OILS
PRICE: Starts at P400
LOVE IT BECAUSE: You can customize dozens of oil blends! 

- Venus and Mars's recently launched Essential Oil collection features 10 high quality oil sourced from reputable manufacturers. These versatile oils can be used in skin care, as a stress reliever, and even for homeopathy uses. Since these are concentrated, you only need a small amount to get a garden- like surge of fragrance!

4. ORIGINS SENSORY THERAPY PEACE OF MIND ON THE SPOT RELIEF
PRICE: P950
LOVE IT BECAUSE: Awesome energizing, uplifting scent!

- Sensory Therapy and I go a long way back. I discovered it through my mother and I loved the spearmint- type fragrance that's totally uplifting and energizing; still one of my faves after all these years. I feel pumped and refreshed whenever I get a whiff of its aroma, plus it has a cooling sensation as well that's why I love applying it on my pulse points especially on a rough day.

5. NEUTRAORGANICS WELLNESS SPRAY
PRICE: P500.00 (10ml) spray
