Apricot kernel oil has traditionally been incorporated into cosmetic products for its softening action on the skin and is used in soaps and cold creams. Apricot is a natural moisturiser, helping to prevent dry, itchy skin.
Coconut fractionated oil (fat removed to make the product an oil and not a solid) is emollient and nourishing and due to its clear nature is the perfect base for applying to wrists and temples.
Lavandin has a wide range of therapeutic effects. It is analgesic, antibacterial and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, sedative, cardiotonic, cicatrisant (healing), emmenagogic and hypotensive. It is best known for its stress-relieving properties, treating headaches, burns, wounds, irregular periods, asthma, eczema, acne, candida, aches and pains and high blood pressure.
This oil is anti-coagulant, anti-infectious, antiviral, anti-microbial, digestive, and astringent and a pancreatic stimulant. It is mostly used for hypertension, varicose veins, sluggish circulation, sluggish digestion, obesity, verrucae, warts and diabetes.
Basil ct Linalool has been used for the relief of headaches by rubbing the leaves over the forehead and temples in traditional herbal remedies, suggesting an analgesic effect. Furthermore, the dried leaves have been ground and used as a snuff for achieving mental clarity.
Widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for bronchitis, coughs, colds, asthma flu and emphysema. It has also been used against epidemics and fever such as malaria. In the West, used for arthritis and irritable skin.
Sweet basil is a general tonic to the whole body. In particular it is used because it is antispasmodic (relieves muscle spasm), antiseptic, antiviral, carminative (easing colic and flatulence), a nervous system regulator and a decongestant (helps diminish blockage, i.e. to the lymph system). This means that it is useful against gout, muscle spasm, gastro-enteritis, sluggish digestion, ulcers, hypotension, anxiety and stress, as well as congestion in the breast and dry eczema.
A versatile essential oil. It is analgesic (pain relieving), antibacterial and antifungal, anti-inflammatory (reduces swelling), antispasmodic (relieves muscle spasm), decongestant (helps diminish blockage, i.e. to the lymph system), diuretic (stimulating the secretion of urine), mucolytic (breaks down mucus) and neurotonic (a tonic for the mind). It is most often employed for treating arthritis, rheumatism, fluid retention and cellulite, persistent coughs, asthma, sinusitis, fatigue, hysteria and loss of memory.
Rosemary has a light, uplifting and refreshing blend of notes from the monoterpenes, ketones and oxides comprising of this. The oil is known to stimulate the respiratory system and alert the mind. Rosemary was considered as a sacred plant and a symbol of regeneration by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians who used it around graves to bring peace to the dead and give comfort to the living (Sellar, 1992).
Also, rosemary is used as an antidepressant and mental stimulant to ‘clear the mind’, which is supported by a small trial showing that aroma of rosemary oil significantly increased alertness and quality of memory as well as contentedness in a small group of healthy adults (Moss et al., 2003).
A study investigating the effects of the inhalation of rosemary oil on test subjects’ feelings, as well as its effects on various physiological parameters of the nervous system was carried out on 20 humans where all subjects underwent autonomic nervous system recording. The data concluded that there was a significant increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate after rosemary oil inhalation. After the inhalation treatments, subjects were found to have become more active and stated that they felt “fresher”. These results confirm the stimulatory effects of rosemary oil and provide supporting evidence that brain wave activity, autonomic nervous system activity, as well as mood states are all affected by the inhalation of the rosemary oil. (Sayorwan et al., 2012).
