About Abbey Essentials
When ancient
Abbeys and Monasteries are excavated, they reveal fascinating stories about the
past. Over two decades ago our founder heard a story about one Abbey in
particular, where the remains of herbal remedies and historic treatments were
found, preserved through time.
As a chemist,
this inspired him to start his own aromatherapy business, where customers
could discover the highest quality oils and extracts from sustainable
sources.
