An absolutely beautiful blend called Rose. (My name, of course, so no wonder I like it!) A feminine, floral, deeply relaxing and balancing blend that can help you just feel better about life, lower anxiety, encourage rest, balance hormones and lift your mood. Sensual, deep and simply gorgeous. It would be fabulous in your bathroom but also gifted to a woman who needs a little bit of TLC.
Rose Essential Oil Blend 5ml
Why I chose it
From Materia Aromatica, who I think make the best essential oil blends around. I have used them for years. I like the beautiful glass etched bottle, which looks fab and cheers me up just looking at it. The blend is a beautiful mix and is highly therapeutic. I use this one when I'm having a rough day!
Ingredients
Sandalwood, geranium, palmarosa, lemon and petitgrain.
Extra info
Sandalwood: calming, harmonising, a deep oil that is mostly used for nervous anxiety and depression, fear, stress and a hectic lifestyle. Assigned to the root chakra, so very grounding. Fosters openness, connection, warmth and understanding. Helps people who feel isolated, accept others with an open heart. A beautiful oil.
Geranium: Supports hormone and emotional balance, mainly through stimulating the adrenals which has a regulating effect throughout the whole hormonal system. Often used for PMS and menopausal mood imbalance, especially feeling low as it's very uplifting. Can help break down fluid retention and congestion, so useful for any lymph congestion or puffiness, especially if hormonal. Balances sebum production so keeps the skin supple, particularly good for sluggish, congested or oily skin. Helps wound healing.
Palmarosa: Calming but uplifting. Settles the gut. Deeply moisturising and hydrating to dry/hard skin, as it helps retain moisture and encourages natural sebum production. Often used to support skin cellular regeneration.
Lemon: Cooling when you are hot and bothered! Improves concentration. In one study, there were 54% fewer typing errors when it was vaporised into the air, I love that! Great for mental fatigue, helps clear the mind and aids decision-making. Immune-wise, helps stimulate white blood cells so great for infection. Improves gut function and circulation.
Petitgrain: Uplifting and very refreshing, a citrus oil often used to calm anger and panic. A sort of cheaper version of the beautiful neroli oil. Can be quite sedating to an overactive mind when you are thinking too much, so good for insomnia and to calm the heart rate down. Skin wise, helpful for controlling spots and is often used in deodorants as it is deodorising.
How to use it
Use it after a particularly hard day, especially if your hormones or mood are messing about. Just inhale it from the bottle, or from a drop or two cupped in your hands. Or, add 5-6 drops into your bath, shut the door and have a little bliss-time.
