“Essential oils exist to protect and maintain the survival of plants, but maybe spiritually they have that role for us too?”
“As summer pulled out and autumn drew in, Star anise kept drifting into my consciousness. At first, I might accidentally pick up the bottle, remembering for a moment that it had its place alongside the few oils I don’t like. Yet, as the autumn mists increased and the damp started to pervade, it kept calling, whispering my name.”
Quotes from my latest book ‘now available’ at Singing Dragon and Amazon/KDP for digital download.
“In integrating her noetic insights with traditional wisdom and science, Helen has returned the heart and indeed soul to aromatherapy.”
“what makes this book quite unique is that she explores the personality of each essential oil through its olfactory characteristics, reflecting on its role in our troubled world and how it may help us emotionally and spiritually, both individually and collectively.”
Quote from the foreword written by Jennifer Peace Rhind
“Helen Nagle-Smiths work never fails to refresh and excite me and is food for my aromajunkie soul.”
Quote is from Elizabeth Ashley
“I love the way Helen suggests you ‘get to know’ a new oil. It has opened my mind to a completely new way of learning about an oil. I also love the the layout of her profiles, particularly the focus on the personality, sustainability and the emotional and spiritual properties of an oil.”

Testimonial
“Helen was very thorough in taking a medical history and notes about my conditions, of which I had a number, and made sure nothing would interfere with any medications I was taking. The cream she made up smelt fab, massages in well and works really well. It allows me to sleep at night. Whenever anything aches now, I massage some in and it sorts it out straight away. Just ordered my second pot. Well worth the investment. Thank you Helen"
