NIGHT JASMINE EMPRESS ESSENTIAL OIL ROLL-ON 10ml

Night Jasmine (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) essential oil is extracted from the star-shaped blooms of a small tree known as Harshingar in Ayurveda. Revered in India where it is native, the entire tree including its leaves, flowers, bark, seeds & stem are known to have amazing medicinal properties, and has been used in traditional herbal healing modalities for thousands of years. The flowers open at night and fall by the next morning, giving an exquisite floral essential oil. Divinely scented, Night Jasmine essential oil is uplifting, refreshing, energising & mildly euphoric. Known for its aphrodisiac effects and its balancing effect on the female reproductive system, it is used traditionally to relieve period discomfort & post-partum depression. Grounding & relaxing for body, mind and spirit, Night Jasmine nourishes the nervous system, and can relieve anxiety, stress & depression. Stimulates the immune system and clears respiratory system congestion.

Extracted from the oleoresin of Canarium luzconium, a large evergreen tree in the same family as Frankincense & Myrrh (yet not an endangered species), Elemi essential oil possesses many of the same qualities. A calming & grounding oil useful in meditation & for emotional balance, clarity and rejuvenation. Stimulates mental clarity and helps soothe exhaustion. Reported antihistamine effects.

A sweet, rich & earthy scented essential oil, steam distilled from the leaves of a bushy perennial herb in the Lamiaceae (mint) family, Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) has a grounding effect and is known to relieve stress, balance mood & lift depression. Promotes relaxation & emotional balance. Mood elevator & mild aphrodisiac.

Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is cold-pressed from the fruit rind of the Bitter Orange. With its uplifting aroma and strong combination of chemical compounds, it is clearing for mind and spirit - dispelling anger, worry, depression, sadness & grief. Relaxing, restorative, & calming - beneficial for anxiety & nervousness.

“The sense of smell is hard-wired into some of the most sensitive parts of the brain, including the amygdala, which is responsible for governing emotions, and the hippocampus, which relates aromas to memory. This means that scents go straight into our limbic system, bypassing mental processing, thereby accessing primal places that hold information not readily available through everyday cognition. This is the basis of the art of aromatherapy.” Kat Maier, Energetic Herbalism.
