🌿 What Happened to Our Headache Balm?
(The Story of Little Pot of Magic)
✨ The Story of Little Pot of Magic
At Herbs on the Hill, we once created a balm with a simple name that described exactly what it was meant for. But sometimes, even the most helpful creations face rules that require change. We were told we couldn’t keep its original name – even though our customers ❤️ loved it and knew what it could do.
But this little pot didn’t need a name to work its magic. Inside was a blend of pure essential oils, carefully crafted to comfort and calm. Our customers felt its gentle effects – a touch of release, a wave of ease, a moment to breathe. 😌✨
For years, our Headache Balm quietly won hearts, becoming a trusted favourite. Then, in 2016, something incredible happened. We shared a customer’s review, and it went viral. 🌍🔥 The internet lit up with people sharing, commenting, and discovering the magic for themselves.
When we needed a new name, you gave it to us. Over and over, people called it their #LittlePotOfMagic 🪄💛. The name stuck because it captured what they felt: a tiny jar of comfort, care, and everyday wonder.
Nearly 30 years later, Little Pot of Magic is still here, still loved, and still helping people feel better in themselves. 💫 Sometimes the most powerful things come in the smallest pots — and the best names come from those who believe in them.
🧠 How It Works (The Sensory Science)
Modern research into aromatherapy and neuroscience shows that scent communicates directly with the limbic system — the part of the brain involved in emotion, memory, and relaxation.
- Lavender has a naturally balancing aroma that helps signal calm to the nervous system and supports a sense of relaxation.
- Peppermint offers a cooling, clarifying aroma that can help restore alertness and ease feelings of tension.
Together, these oils create a comforting sensory experience that helps you pause, breathe, and reset.
🌸 Safe, Natural, Everyday
Little Pot of Magic is not a medicine, and it’s safe to use alongside prescribed medication. It’s a natural aromatherapy blend designed to support everyday wellbeing through scent and touch. Each clear glass jar is hand-poured with care, using pure essential oils and natural botanicals.
