Charity Support
AIRO was founded on a passion for creativity and a desire to help others. Creating aromatherapy candles is just one aspect of my work; I'm also pursuing a career as a clinical aromatherapist.
I'm dedicated to providing support for older individuals, including massages and meaningful conversations. My goal is to help them find relief from distress, pain, or loneliness, because everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life, regardless of their age.
By buying a candle we donate £1 to charities for older people.
Our launch charity is Dementia UK, as it is close to my heart having had a few relatives live with dementia in later life.
Aromatherapy offers a soothing and holistic approach to supporting the health and wellbeing of older adults. Essential oils, when used appropriately, can provide numerous benefits for both the body and mind.
Here are a few examples:
- Rosemary: Helps reduce stress, improve memory, and lower cortisol levels.
- Peppermint: Uplifts mood and promotes feelings of happiness.
- Ylang Ylang: Combats bacteria, helps regulate blood pressure, and aids in sleep.
- Citrus Oils (orange, lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, neroli): Naturally brighten mood, alleviate anxiety and depression, and may boost energy levels.
- Lavender: Promotes relaxation, enhances memory, and improves sleep quality.
While aromatherapy may not be a cure-all, it can be a valuable tool for enhancing overall wellbeing and quality of life for older individuals.
