  1. Lavender – For a Clear Mind

You may already love lavender’s light floral fragrance. And it’s no wonder because its benefits are abundant. Among Lavender many benefits, is its proven calming effect.

Though lavender helps people get to sleep, it doesn’t have a sedative effect. This makes it perfect if you want to go into your day with a calm and clear mind. We recommend putting some lavender in your diffuser while you get ready in the morning or even using a lavender water spray to scent your clothing.Some studies have shown that massage with lavender oil seems to reduce stress more than massage alone.

  1. Frankincense – For Emotional Well Being

Frankincense has had its moments in history, but it’s certainly not a thing of the past. when frankincense incense was burning, it seemed to have an effect on the areas of the brain involved in emotions.

Indeed, frankincense is a popular oil for easing tension and relieving anxiety. It’s said to create a sense of euphoria when used as incense, but you can also add two-three drops in your vaporizer, or simply add a bit to a pan of boiling water and then inhale the steam.

  1. Cedarwood – To Wind Down at Night.

This oil is considered an excellent sedative, something that can help calm you down when you’re feeling anxious and stressed.

Many herbal practitioners recommend this one to help cure insomnia, since it can enhance relaxation before sleep. That may be because it’s a good source of “sesquiterpenes,” compounds we know help stimulate the brain, elevate mood, and encourage relaxation.

To help yourself slip into sleep, add just a drop of cedarwood oil to a carrier oil that works for your particular skin type. Massage your cheek bones, between your eyebrows, and the sides of your temples.

  1. Vetiver – To Ease Restlessness

This oil comes from a perennial grass native to India that has tall stems and long leaves, with brownish-purple flowers. The oil is actually distilled from the plant’s roots, and has a strong, woody aroma.

Similar to cedar wood, vetiver is very high in sesquiterpenes. In a study led by Terry Friedmann in 2001, children’s behavior was measured before and after a 30 day period during which they smelled a certain essential oil three times a day –either cedarwood, vetiver, or lavender. By the end of the 30 days, significant behavior improvements were seen in the groups that were smelling vetiver and cedar, the two essential oils that are both high in sesquiterpenes.

In fact, herbalists recommend combining vetiver with cedarwood and even a little juniper to calm restless anxiety and ease symptoms like unease, a racing heartbeat, and a lump in the throat.

We recommend using vetiver at work to help you relax while also being productive.
