KEY INGREDIENTS

  • GRAPEFRUIT: This bright, crisp citrus oil is wonderful for emotional support, uplifting the spirits, and adding a little zest to this blend. It is also wonderful for immune support since it is high in limonene.
  • ORANGE: Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • LAVENDER: Lavender is synonymous with calming and relaxing, and it adds an herbaceous aroma to this slightly sweet mix! Lavender pairs well with both citrus and Ylang ylang, and it soothes the mind and body alike.
  • YLANG YLANG: Ylang Ylang has a sweet, romantic aroma that makes a lovely addition to perfume rollers and diffuser blends. This floral, balancing oil promotes openness and connection, encourages confidence, and inspires romance. Ylang ylang also has wonderful moisturizing properties and is well known for reducing stress.
  • CAMPHOR: This oil is wonderful for opening the airways, and it lends a slightly earthy, crisp aroma to this delicious blend.
  • CISTUS: Cistus is a crisp, slightly spicy oil that adds a bit of bubble to this blend. It is a wonderful immune support tool! It is cleansing and purifying.

This combination of oils can be a powerful emotional tool as well. Citrus oils are bright, happy and uplifting and inspire us towards creativity and positivity, and Lavender is incredibly calming and soothing. When used with intentional practices like journaling, visualization, counseling or other tools, this blend can be a wonderful support tool as we move through a busy and often emotionally heavy season!
