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.
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.
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 is able to 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).
This is a pure essential oil blend, use 4-6 drops in the bath or vaporiser or on a tissue that you can inhale from. (Always mix in with bath foam or a suitable carrier when using in the bath)
This oil can also be added to a carrier oil or lotion for application on the skin. For more mixing guidelines please see our Using Essential Oils sheets.
