Our Guide and Tips to Survive Winter

THIEVES OIL

What is it?

A perfect essential oil blend of clove bud, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary makes this the germ-killer of note. At the outbreak of the plague, a group of thieves rubbed themselves with this combination of oils, before looting the homes of sick and dying people - ensuring they never contracted the disease.

How is it used?

We have a 50ml blend available for topical application, and a 5ml diffuser blend to diffuse in your home or office space. This ensures that all pathogens in the air are eliminated - cleaning and purifying the air to reduce the possibility of getting sick and building a strong immune system.

Fun fact

Many of our clients have reported using their thieves oil when travelling to reduce picking up germs while travelling, some for a blocked chest and to open airways in the case of asthma, and even a ballerina treating her sore tire feet!

Why diffuse oils?

It's a multipurpose treatment.

Physical wellness, emotional well-being, and mental health.

We love diffusing oils here at Mai Co.! This time of year it is usually neroli or grapefruit oil to help boost the winter blues. Essential oils are some of the most natural, multipurpose, effective, and fragrant remedies to keep your immune system strong, and your environment germ-free. The oils diffuse through the air, cleaning the air of pathogens, dust, and negative ions. This removes negative energies allowing new positive energy to enter. The air is deodorized. And through the senses, the nervous system is activated enhancing a feeling of well-being.

Did you know?

Cats and dogs are sensitive to essential oils and don't have the enzymes that allow their system to process and metabolize the oils. Always use your diffuser in a well-ventilated room, away from your pets.

• Buchu and Aloe Ferox Gel - used to treat sore joints and muscles, pain, and inflammation of arthritis.

• Tea-Tree Tea - If you feel a cold or flu coming on, nothing beats the gentle-tasting immune-boosting herbal tea of tea-tree with a dash of honey.

For the skin

Winter can be so harsh and drying on the skin. We have to recommend our moisturising cream with apricot kernel oil for the dry dry skin as a day cream, and the marula face oil as a night oil. We also have the olive oil cream and Kalahari melon oil for combination skin types. Don't forget the luxurious Kalahari melon body lotion with neroli oil. This will keep your skin looking and feeling beautiful and hydrated all winter long.
