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.
