Palmarosa
This oil has a very pleasant fragrance and slightly resembles the scent of roses. It is very skin-friendly, has a harmonizing effect and counteracts many pathogens and fungi. Therefore, it is well suited for the support of the immune system. In aroma therapy, palmarosa oil is commonly used in cases of hectic and stress, as it can hamper the release of cortisol and lift the spirit. It is also popularly used in cases of ear-nose-throat disorders, for irritations of the airways and in childhood diseases.
Rose geranium
The oil of rose geranium has a delicate and floral scent. Aside from the skin nourishing and infection defense properties, it also has a calming and pain relieving effect and therefore complements the palmarosa oil nicely. Since it is very skin-friendly and suitable for all skin types, it is also suitable as a bath and massage oil.
Lavender
It is well known as a gentle and soothing oil which also counteracts disease causing germs. Already in ancient Rome, lavender oil was used as a bath additive because it contains components of linalool and linalyl acetate which are very nourishing for the skin. Lavender oil has a balancing effect: in fatigue it can refresh and lift the mood, for some it helps with nervousness.
Bergamot
This oil smells slightly sweet and flowery, but also very fruity. The essential oil of bergamot soothes body and soul. It is suitable for scented oil blends and can provide support in cases of cold and fever. The fragrance of the oil of bergamot is intensified by adding other citrus oils, such as lemon, orange or mandarin. Due to the photosensitizing furocumarine, direct sun exposure should be avoided after its application.
Cedar
Among other things, the cedar oil in the blend takes care that the immune system does not become hyperactive. This is important for allergy sufferers and persons with an irritated immune system. The warm and slightly sweet scent of the oil aids in reducing anxiety and counteracting arising stress.
