Let's take a deeper dive into this blend and its single oils
Fractionated Coconut Oil: A lightweight carrier oil, fractionated coconut oil ensures that the essential oils in the blend are easily and safely applied to the skin. It helps dilute and spread the potent essential oils, while providing moisturizing benefits of its own.
Black Spruce (Picea Mariana): Derived from the needles of the Black Spruce tree, this essential oil has a crisp and fresh forest aroma. The trees are commonly found in the northern regions of North America, and they've long been a part of traditional remedies among indigenous communities.
Why in the Balance Blend: Black Spruce is known for its invigorating and rejuvenating properties. It helps ground emotions and can uplift mood, making it ideal for promoting feelings of clear-headedness and balance.
Ho Leaf (Cinnamomum camphora): Sourced from the leaves of the Camphor tree, Ho Leaf oil offers a sweet, floral, and slightly woody aroma. It's chemically similar to Ravintsara and Eucalyptus oils.
Why in the Balance Blend: The primary constituent of Ho Leaf oil is linalool, which has calming properties. It assists in creating a peaceful and relaxing environment, setting a tranquil tone.
Frankincense (Boswellia): Often referred to as the "king of oils," Frankincense has a warm, spicy, and clean aroma. It's extracted from the resin of trees in the genus Boswellia.
Why in the Balance Blend: Frankincense has been revered for centuries for its spiritual grounding properties. It promotes meditation, relaxation, and emotional balance, making it a cornerstone for any blend that aims at grounding and tranquility.
Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum): This oil, with its vivid blue color and sweet, herbaceous scent, is derived from a North African flower. It's rich in chamazulene, which gives it its distinctive blue hue.
Why in the Balance Blend: Blue Tansy is known for its skin-soothing properties. Emotionally, it helps reduce feelings of stress and tension, promoting an overall sense of well-being.
Blue Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita): Extracted from flowers, Blue Chamomile oil has a sweet and herbaceous aroma. Like Blue Tansy, it also contains chamazulene, giving it a deep blue color.
Why in the Balance Blend: Celebrated for its calming and soothing benefits, Blue Chamomile assists in calming the nerves and reducing irritability. Its presence amplifies the blend's ability to evoke serenity and equanimity.
Osmanthus Flower (Osmanthus fragrans): Distilled from the beautiful blossoms of the Osmanthus tree, this essential oil offers a rich, sweet, and slightly fruity aroma.
Why in the Balance Blend: Osmanthus Flower's aromatic profile adds a touch of opulence to the blend. Beyond its delightful scent, it's also believed to uplift spirits and inspire feelings of joy and enthusiasm.
Each of these oils, individually potent and therapeutic, come together in the Balance Blend to create an aromatic and healing elixir. Their combined energies promote centeredness, grounding, and a profound sense of tranquility.

Why Essential Oils Impact Emotions Profoundly
The profound effects of essential oils on emotions can be traced back to the intricate workings of our brain, particularly the limbic system. Here's how:
-
Limbic System Connection: The limbic system, which includes structures like the amygdala and the hippocampus, plays a crucial role in our emotional responses, memory, and motivation. When we inhale the aroma of an essential oil, the scent molecules travel up the nose and interact with olfactory receptors. These receptors send signals directly to the limbic system.
-
Immediate Response: Given the direct pathway to the limbic system, the effects of essential oils on our emotions can be almost immediate. For instance, calming scents might quickly ease anxious feelings, while invigorating ones can provide an almost instant uplift in mood.
-
Memory and Association: The hippocampus's role in memory means that certain aromas can evoke powerful emotional memories. A scent can take us back to a cherished memory, infusing us with the associated emotions.
-
Hormonal Impact: The limbic system also influences the hypothalamus, which can trigger the release of hormones. Certain essential oils can, therefore, indirectly impact the release of hormones like serotonin or cortisol, further influencing our emotional state.
-
Holistic Experience: Essential oils provide a holistic experience, harmonizing both physiological responses and psychological perceptions. Their multi-dimensional impact makes them a potent tool for emotional and spiritual wellness.
The inherent properties of individual essential oils, coupled with our personal memories and experiences, make each person's experience with an oil unique. As such, essential oils can be powerful tools in emotional wellness, aiding in relaxation, mood regulation, and overall emotional well-being.
