This soothing blend centers on classic relaxants and comforting botanicals to calm the mind and body. Each ingredient contributes to a serene atmosphere and deep sense of peace:
Renowned for its serene floral aroma and high linalool content, lavender is a cornerstone of relaxation. Inhalation of lavender oil is clinically shown to reduce anxiety, ease agitation, and promote restful sleep. Its gentle scent soothes the nervous system and encourages a tranquil state, making it perfect for unwinding and stress relief.
A warm, herbaceous oil prized for its calming and muscle-relaxing properties. Sweet marjoram’s aroma helps release tension – it is known to relax muscle spasms and ease physical and mental stress. In aromatherapy it’s often used to comfort the body, promote restful sleep, and ground the emotions, gently sedating overactive nerves for deep relaxation.
A sweet citrus oil with a subtle floral hint, bergamot uplifts the mood while simultaneously calming the nerves. Its inhalation is commonly used to improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety, thanks to bergamot’s unique mix of soothing linalyl acetate and invigorating citrus limonene. In the blend, bergamot adds a bright top note that helps dissipate anxious thoughts and invites a sense of contentment.
Softly rosy and green, geranium oil brings emotional balance. Its aroma has anxiolytic effects – studies show inhaled geranium can have a calming influence, reducing anxiety and even uplifting depressive moods. Geranium’s harmonizing scent helps stabilize the mind and heart, easing nervous tension and promoting comfort.
A sweet, gentle citrus that is both uplifting and soothing. Tangerine’s fresh aroma is described as calming to an overactive mind while still encouraging a cheerful, positive mood. In Tranquility, it adds a playful brightness that relieves nervousness and invites mental clarity without overstimulation, helping one “breathe out” tension.
A natural component distilled from chamomile and similar plants, included here as an isolate for its profoundly soothing effects. Bisabolol’s scent is delicate, sweet, and notably calming – it’s considered a natural anxiolytic that immediately signals the body to relax. This compound works quietly in the blend to reduce stress by engaging GABA receptors, imparting a sense of safety and comfort.
Also known as wild marjoram, this herbaceous oil contains cineole and linalool, lending it both clearing and calming qualities. When diffused, Spanish marjoram alleviates stress and anxiety, promoting mental clarity and emotional balance. Its subtle camphoraceous note helps open the airways and “clears the head,” while its gentle sweetness is grounding – creating a tranquil environment and facilitating a truly restful atmosphere.
Distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, petitgrain offers a fresh green-citrus scent with neroli-like nuances. Aromatherapists cherish petitgrain for its soothing and balancing properties – it is used to calm anger, ease stress, and relieve nervous tension. In this blend it provides a clean, woody-floral backdrop that settles the nerves and complements the sweeter notes of lavender and citrus. (Notably, petitgrain synergizes especially well with lavender and bergamot to amplify stress relief.)
A precious woody base note that is deeply grounding and meditative. Sandalwood’s soft, rich aroma has been valued for centuries to quiet the mind – it helps ground and quiet mental chatter, promoting a sense of peace and clarity. Inhaling sandalwood has been found to reduce anxiety and tension, supporting a peaceful mood and even improving sleep quality with its centering presence. Here it adds a sacred, velvety warmth that anchors the entire blend.
A gentle woody-floral oil exceedingly high in natural linalool. Ho wood is sometimes called a “peaceful oil” – its aroma is profoundly calming and ideal when one needs to relax or unwind. Reminiscent of rosewood, ho wood’s fragrance eases emotional agitation and instills tranquility. In Tranquility, it heightens the blend’s sedative, spa-like character, helping to slow breathing and invite a meditative calm.
A rich, earthy-sweet oil that grounds the emotions and melts away stress. Patchouli’s scent is well-known to be deeply calming and centering, making it ideal for reducing anxiety and fostering emotional balance. It has slight serotonin-boosting effects that can uplift the mood from gloom. In this blend, patchouli’s mellow earthiness ties the florals and herbs together, imparting a sense of stability, comfort, and “all is well” to the psyche.
