Synergies for the Emotions

Aromatherapy, the art of healing with pure essential oils, can have powerful emotional effects, soothing stress and tension, easing fears and anxieties, and comforting grief. These are some blends I've found especially effective. Please note that our Synergies are pure, undiluted blends of our natural Essential Oils. Our "Anointing Oils" are diluted with Jojoba Oil, and are ideal for wear as pulse point perfumes, adding to the bath, or further diluting in carrier oil for a full body massage. All the Synergies and Anointing oils are only available in 5 ml sizes.   Burn Out Comfort in the Storm Destress Focus         Fog Cutter Reunité SleepEase Solace             Valour
Burn Out A breath of fresh air that clears away the cobwebs in your mind and combats mental and emotional fatigue. This blend of Orange, Jasmine, Clary Sage, Coriander, Helichrysum, Palma Rosa, Vetiver, and Benzoin has proven very popular with our client Massage Therapists for use with their Type A clients. Available as Synergy only. This synergy contains Benzoin, a known sensitizer and should be used in the diffuser or Aromalamp. Not recommended for use directly on the body.

Comfort In The Storm For those days when the world is just too much to bear. Our richest and most comforting blend of nurturing Jasmine, calming Neroli, and uplifting Bergamot. Available as Synergy and Anointing Oil. Perfect as a personal perfume, or add it to the bath. An intensely feminine fragrance.	Comfort in the Storm Synergy $45.00 Anointing $8.00 Order
DeStress Relax stressed muscles and nerves with our new DeStress Massage Blend. Energizing Pink Grapefruit, pain relieving and relaxing High Altitude Lavender, and gently warming Coriander combine to make a massage blend that relaxes the body and refreshes the spirit. A base of Fractionated Coconut Oil guarantees it will give just the right amount of "slip" for a massage or backrub. (Some of us get our legs and ankles rubbed with this wonderful concoction...sheer bliss!) We had planned to only offer DeStress in a massage blend, however we've been reminded that there isn't always someone around to rub your back, and were asked to offer it as a synergy, for inhalation or the bath. Because we like to make you happy, we are now offering both. (But we all prefer the massage blend!) Bath Salts made with our Destress synergy are available on our Aromatic Baths page.

Focus A synergy for mental focus and alertness. Basil (the best mental stimulant I know of), Clove Bud, Lemon, Peppermint, Pine, Rosemary, and Vetiver (for grounding.). A wonderful study blend, good for the desk, refreshing for mental fatigue, yet not as physically stimulating as Fog Cutter, nor as relaxing as our Burn Out blend. Light and fresh in aroma, this is the blend that sits in the lamp over my desk as I type this.	Focus Synergy $9.00 Order
Fog Cutter Our most energizing blend! (One client calls it her Superwoman blend) Designed for the diffuser or lamp, this synergy of Pink Grapefruit with a Cypress base seems to clear the mental fog and energize me to get up and moving, even to tackle the work that I've procrastinated on for weeks. Also marvelous in a hanging clay pot in the car to keep the driver awake and alert. Available as Synergy only, because I don't recommend this blend for direct use on the skin, although some clients rave about it for a detoxifying bath or shower.	Fog Cutter Synergy $8.00 Order
Reunité Our premier blend. A warm blend of rare Neroli, grounding Vetiver, uplifting Orange, with touches of Sandalwood, Petitgrain and Frankincense. Soothe feelings of anxiety with a Reunite bath, or scent your surroundings and yourself with its calming essence. This is my personal blend that I wear during situations that are apt to induce anxiety or panic attacks. It allows me to breeze through situations which used to overwhelm me. Available as Synergy and Anointing Oil . Also available in a soap on our Aromatic Bathing page.	Reunité Synergy $30.00 Anointing $8.00 Order
SleepEase For those nights that your mind simply won't hush and let you relax into sleep.  Sadie and I tested several variations on a theme and came up with a sweetly citrus scented blend of Lavandin Super (more relaxing than Lavender angustifolia according to Dr. Jane Buckle), Sweet Marjoram, Green Mandarine (our most relaxing citrus oil) and Roman Chamomile.  It doesn't SMELL like it would put you to sleep, but everyone was yawning the day we poured it.   (I use mine in an aromastone.) Because of the citrus oils we prefer to use this new synergy by inhalation, rather than in a bath.  If adding to a bath, please be sure to dissolve in some liquid castile first.

Solace The blend we developed to ease the sorrows caused by those directly affected by the events of September 11, or other, more personal tragedies. The responses we have received from our gifts of this blend have been heartwarming. We know from your feedback that it does provide relief from the emotional pain of dealing with tragic losses. It contains Cypress Tips - for strength. Frankincense Sacra - for the Spirit, rare Rosa Alba - for Comfort, Helichrysum - for healing emotional scars and bruises, and Melissa - for the promise of Joy. It's a beautiful blend. The rose will become stronger with time, as it is, it's balanced. woodsy, with the softness and strength of the White Rose. We hadn't planned to offer it for sale until after the new year, but with the holiday season coming we thought there might be those who need it now. Available both in undiluted synergy, and in skin safe anointing oil.	Solace Synergy $50.00 Anointing $10.00 Order
Valour We live in frightening times. Some of us were working on a blend for Solace...for easing grief. Rick felt called to craft a blend for Spiritual Courage. We agreed; we all felt in need of that. He first blended Cedarwood, and Rosemary, Thyme, Rose and Melissa. It was lovely...reminded me of the top of a tree, widespread and airy...but too light and open...it needed deepening. It needed roots...but with what...not my beloved Vetiver this time.... and the inspiration struck both of us  simultaneously...Spikenard, the sacred root. Aromatically, it is crisp and green, but not a young green...a stalwart, ancient green...and inhaling it makes the knot in my stomach go away. This is one of the blends that I can feel, when I sit and inhale it...up and down and around my spine, supporting and strengthening me. Another friend says the blend makes her feel safe and protected, free to do whatever she needs to without fear. Rick's gift to all who need it.	Valour Synergy $20.00 Anointing $8.00 Order
