Lavender has been documented as a therapeutic agent as far back as the ancient Greeks and Romans. Both dried foliage and essential oil have remained continuously popular as both therapeutic and cosmetic agents to the present day (Cavanagh and Wikinson, 2002). The plant is commonly purported to have anti-depressant, anxiolytic and sedative properties, thus its essential oil has been used often for relaxation. Reduction of anxiety can aid in getting to sleep, and there is some evidence to support lavender’s reputed anxiolytic effect.
Juniper was referenced in the Bible, inferring its ability to relieve fatigue (Sellar, 1997)
This Oil offers emotional support and reduces physical and emotional signs of stress. Some sources claim that juniper is one of the most effective essential oils for dealing with inner trauma and pains because juniper may have positive effects on relaxation responses in the brain when inhaled. (Levy, 2018)
When in use the oil becomes a relaxant and sleep aid as the smell of juniper offers emotional support and reduces physical and emotional signs of stress. When inhaled juniper may have positive effects on relaxation responses in the brain. (Levy, 2018)
Overall, this essential oil added to this blend has the added benefit of a relaxant and sleep. Juniper essential oil is effective in nearly all forms of cramps by relaxing the muscles. (Nagdeve, 2021) making this a perfect choice to aid rest.
Palmarosa could be useful in lifting feelings of depression that may affect rest, there is some evidence to suggest that geraniol is sedative, as such, palmarosa may aid in promoting a night of more restful sleep.
Palmarosa is primarily comprised of geraniol, with an average content of 60-84% (Price and Price, 2011). There is some evidence to suggest that geraniol is sedative, (Buchbauer et al., 1993). As such, palmarosa may aid in promoting a more restful sleep and state of mind.
Geranium apart from its pleasant aroma, has anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, sedative, anxiety-reducing, and muscle relaxing properties ( Sulong , 2006). It also facilitates blood circulation and eases breathing.
With a varied blend of chemistry, including alcohols, esters and aldehydes, geranium oil can help calm and relax, bringing on a feeling of well being. Used in the bath before bedtime can encourage a good night's sleep.
Geranium is reportedly anxiolytic. Tasev, Toleva and Balabanova (1969) also reported that atomised geranium increased attention spans, concentration capacity and work rhythms, and shortened reflex times in 48 medical students (Price and Price, 2011).
Apply a small amount where and when needed, to aid relaxation in the day or before bed. For best results massage into tension areas, such as the shoulders and across the chest.
