Essential Oil Breakdown
It takes an enormous amount of natural plant matter to make essential oil. This explains why it is so expensive, but also so powerful.
Lavender: Calming, anti-anxiety and can help with sleep. Historically lavender was also used as a cleaning agent in hospitals prior to modern antiseptics.
Peppermint & Spearmint: Antifungal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, uplifts mood, decreases nausea, can open sinuses, promotes focus & clear thinking.
Frankincense: Uplifts mood, decreases inflammation and can help with sleep. Personally, I don’t think Frankincense gets enough press. We are working on a facial spray as it has even more benefits when applied to skin. There is some evidence that it also helps with asthma and gum disease.
Eucalyptus-Mint: Can open up sinuses, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory.
Lemon: Anti-anxiety, reduces nausea, antimicrobial, promotes clear thinking.
Orange: Energizes, anti-anxiety, antimicrobial.
Vanilla: Uplifts mood, antibacterial, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory
