Both the hand + body elixir and body elixir from Diamond Therapy come in a Lavender scent. Real natural Lavender essential oil is added to these creams.
A study showed not only does the Lavender scent instantly have a calming effect on your skin, it also has a clinical effect on your body!

All Diamond Therapy products are handmade and natural.

 

Not to suggest to stop taking your medicine! But the use of lavender essential oil can definitely be helpful to relieve stress and produce calming surroundings.

Aroma-therapeutic effects of massage blended essential oils on humans Hongratanaworakit T. Source Rangsit-Ongkharak Road, Nakhonnayok 26120, Thailand. Abstract Although blended essential oils are increasingly being used for the improvement of the quality of life and for the relief of various symptoms in patients, the scientific evaluation of the aroma-therapeutic effects of blended essential oils in humans is rather scarce. In this study, we hypothesized that applying blended essential oil would provide a synergistic effect that would have a chance for success in treating depression or anxiety. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the blended essential oil on autonomic parameters and on emotional responses in humans following transdermal absorption. The blended essential oil consisted of lavender and bergamot oils. Human autonomic parameters, i.e. blood pressure, pulse rate, breathing rate, and skin temperature, were recorded as indicators of the arousal level of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, subjects had to rate their emotional condition in terms of relaxation, vigor, calmness, attentiveness, mood, and alertness in order to assess subjective behavioral arousal. Forty healthy volunteers participated in the experiments. Blended essential oil was applied topically to the skin of the abdomen of each subject. Compared with placebo, blended essential oil caused significant decreases of pulse rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which indicated a decrease of autonomic arousal. At the emotional level, subjects in the blended essential oil group rated themselves as 'more calm' and 'more relaxed' than subjects in the control group. This finding suggests a decrease of subjective behavioral arousal. In conclusion, our investigation demonstrates the relaxing effect of a mixture of lavender and bergamot oils. This synergistic blend provides evidence for its use in medicine for treating depression or anxiety in humans.

Not long ago I decided to take the leap into the skincare industry when I started making samples of products I felt would be very good and useful to the skin.

I started off with a specific formula, made a few tweeks here and there and voila! I had made a useful cream for the skin!

I thought to myself I can't just make a cream for the skin, what about a product that traps moisture into the skin after you shower? Once again I entered my lab and came out with a shower mixture which would complement the cream.

I had yet another thought - this is something that needs to be shared with everyone... I started handing samples to family, relatives, friends - they all loved it! I only got complements from my products so I thought this is something I must share with the public! I completed the safety assessments on my products and decided there and then this is something I truely believed in and I must continue with this!

I thought up the name 'Diamond Therapy' as its a name which exudes elegance, integrity and luxury all in one.

In August 2010, I heard of a small beauty session being held in East London called the Pamper Sessions. I thought this would be a great opportunity to show the world my Diamond Therapy Products. I obtained a stall, gathered all my products (which wasn't easy!) and grabbed the opportunity to show the world what I had to offer.

The event was a huge success! Many people were intrigued by the product, amazed by the samples and genuinely interested in what I was providing. At the event I decided to take a few snaps!

 

I look so proud because I really am happy :-)

With the start of 2012 I really hope Diamond Therapy can grow to continue to provide luxury skincare for all!
