Aromatherapy Benefits of Ingredients in our De-Stress Range

The aromatherapy oils we've used in this blend address all aspects of the impacts of stress:

Help to calm the mind
Replenish depleted energy
Give feelings of being grounded


Lavender

The essential oil extracted from the familiar purple blooms of this beautiful flower harmonises the nervous system.

It has a chameleon ability to be calming and sedative in times of mental stress or agitation, while reviving the spirits when emotionally depleted.


Geranium

Harmonising for the nervous system, geranium is an excellent essential oil to de-stress, lift out of depression and reduce anxiety.

The floral notes ease frustration and calm the mind.


Orange & Mandarin

Cold-pressed from the peel of the fruit, orange and mandarin oils are known as the “no worries oils”.

They have been researched to stop mind chatter (the “monkey mind”) and overthinking, reduce self-doubt and fear of the unknown.


Lemon

Lemon as an essential oil, works to lift the mood and refresh the spirit.It is effective in helping to clear the mind, to leave you feeling more relaxed and light.


Patchouli

Soothing and calming, Patchouli helps to feel grounded and reconnected between mind and body when you feel too much “in your head”. It can be beneficial for states of anxiety and depression.
While each of these oils alone have benefits to assist with feeling stressed, when combined together and used in conjunction with a home spa ritual the benefits can be profoundly impactful on shifting your mood.

Here’s our favourite iKOU products you will find these oils in, and tips to incorporate them into your everyday life to help you feel less stressed.

Enjoy!
