Essential oil recommendations 

When you want to relax

Lavender (lavendula angustifolia), which releases stress and soothes anger; sandalwood (santalum album), which calms the mood with its exotic scent; eucalyptus narrow leaf (eucalyptus, radiata), with a crisp scent that invites deep breathing; and bergamot (citrus aurantium ssp bergamia), which helps ease depression with its citrusy scent.

When you’re feeling down

When you’re feeling down from work or relationship issues, we recommend essential oils that will brighten and boost your mood, such as: sweet orange (citrus sinensis), which relaxes anxiety and tension; ylang-ylang (cananga odorata), which calms the mind; jasmine sambac (jasminum sambac L.aiton), which brings a feeling of happiness.

When you have a headache

For a headache, you should approach both body and mind: the crisp scent of rosemary cineole 1.8 (rosmarinus officinalis, Cineole 1.8) is recommended for both headaches and migraines; lavender (lavendula angustifolia) calms the mind and eases pain; clary sage (salvia sclarea) restores the mind’s balance and helps to ease pain.

When you are cold

If you are very sensitive to cold, with symptoms such as having trouble sleeping because of cold hands and feet even in the summer: lemon (citrus limonum), which promotes blood flow; black spruce (abies nigra), which is nicely compatible with citrus essential oils; and rosemary cineole 1.8 (rosmarinus officinalis, Cineole 1.8), which is also effective for cold hands and feet because it promotes blood circulation.

When you want to detox

When you want to detox because your body feels somewhat heavy and bloated: grapefruit (citrus paradisi) or cedarwood (cedrus altanica), which stimulate the lymph system and help circulation; cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), with a spicy tree scent that will help remove excessive fatigue from the body and mind.
