Blended With

Ho Leaf Essential Oil 

Ho Leaf is excellent for inducing relaxation and a sense of calmness. It tackles feelings of frigidity and apathy, promoting a relaxed state of mind. By aiding in relaxation, it complements the uplifting effects of the other oils, creating a balanced and centred start to the day.

With a high linalool content (around 80-90%), Ho Leaf essential oil has a stimulating but soothing effect on the mind and body, helping to reduce fatigue and can help to balance emotions. It can also help reduce anxiety and have a relaxing effect.

Lis-Balchin states that Ho Leaf (linalool) has sedative properties and is a relaxant. (Lis-Balchin M.   Aromatherapy Science – a guide for healthcare professionals. Pharmaceutical Press, London, 2006

Ho Leaf has an uplifting effect which is helpful in balancing emotions. It is recommended when one is feeling weary and overburdened with problems. It has an overall calming effect without causing drowsiness. (Kerr J. Ho leaf/rosewood,  Aromatherapy Today 1998;7: 6-9)

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot has been recommended in aromatherapy for the treatment of stress-induced anxiety and depression.

A study conducted in 1995 found that Bergamot oil blended with Lemon and Orange Oils was an effective anti-depressant. 20 depressed inpatients split into two groups both taking their anti-depressant medication, but one group was exposed to the bergamot and citrus fragrance whilst having their medication reduced. By the end of the 11^th week 9 of the 12 patients in the Bergamot and citrus group had reduced their medication intake to zero while the other three had reduced their dosage to 50-75%. The results suggest that the use of citrus fragrances such as Bergamot may improve homeostatic balance. The authors concluded that bergamot could be of psychoneuroimmunological benefit. (Komori T et al. Effect of citrus fragrance on immune function and depressive states.Neuroimmunomodulation 1995: 2(2): 170-180. Cited in Quintessential Aromatics database, 2013)

Holmes says that Bergamot oil promotes emotional stability and recommends it for reducing irritability. Moodiness, frustration, mood swings and emotional instability. He states that Bergamot oil is exceptionally harmonious describing it as able to close the gap between mind, body and emotions.

Mojay compares Bergamot to Lavender: ‘Bergamot oil encourages the release of pent-up feelings redirecting nervous energy from the unproductive helping rediscover spontaneity and optimism. It helps us to relax and let go. 

Eucalyptus Staigeriana Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Staigeriana in aromatherapy has been used to calm anxiety (Price and Price, 2011). This could be due to its content of limonene, which makes up between 1 and 14% of Eucalyptus Stageriana oil.

Limonene constitutes 1-14% of Eucalyptus Staigeriana. It has been shown to exert sedative and anxiolytic effects (de Almeida et al., 2012), which may explain its reported calming effects. Citral is another major component, citral has been shown in studies to exert antidepressant effects (Komori et al., 1995).

This oil is a powerhouse for emotional well-being. Its uplifting nature not only combats feelings of depression but also works to uplift the mind. The citrusy and invigorating scent it carries helps boost mood and confidence, setting the tone for a positive start to the day.

Rose Absolute Essential Oil

Rose Absolute has been scattered in Iranian marriages to ensure happiness and symbolize love. Furthermore, it has been used in meditation and prayer, suggesting rose is also calming. These uses are also reflected in traditional Eastern medicine, where Roses have been used to relieve nervous tension and lift depression.

In a study involving 60 male patients, it was found that R. damascena oil improved symptoms of depression and SSRI-ISD.  In aromatherapy, Rose oil is referred to as a gentle but potent antidepressant. (Mohebitabar S et al. Therapeutic efficacy of rose oil: a comprehensive review of clinical evidence. Avicenna journal of evidence-based integrative of phytomedicine.)

Rose oil may be used as a sedative for the nerves; is useful for the treatment of palpitations, irritability and insomnia. It helps release anger, despair and frustration. (Wabner D. A rose is a rose is a rose oil. 2^nd Australian Aromatherapy Conference, Sydney, 1998.)

Rose is said to open the heart and soothe feelings such as anger, fear and anxiety. Morris E. Fragrance – the story of perfume from Cleopatra to Chanel. Products of Nature and Art, New York, 1984)

Mojay states that “Bringing warmth to a soul grown cold through abuse or hurt, rose oil can touch the deepest despair, restoring the trust that makes it possible to love again”
