Bulgarian Lavender, Lavendula  angustifolia, is well-known the world over for its calming effect.  Multiple small human studies have shown its scent to help reduce stress and insomnia (1,2).  Further, lavender has long been used as a folk remedy for mild skin issues like scrapes and itching.  It can also be used to help repel biting insects.

Three Ways to Use Lavender Oil

• Helps repel mosquitos.

Moroccan Rose, Rosa centifolia, offers a luxurious rosy-green scent.  This prized aroma has been used for centuries in luxury perfumes and is considered an aphrodisiac. Further, the scent is known to be soothing and calm tension.  Easing stress with rose aromatherapy may also help relieve body aches, such as headaches and menstrual-related complaints (3).

Indian Sandalwood, Santalum album, is a luxury-scent that is woody, smooth, and deeply grounding.  It is a key aroma for meditation.  In the past 40 years, its popularity has grown enormously and is used as an ingredient in perfumery and high- end body care products.

Helichrysum, Helychrysum italicum, has been used for generations as a skin beautifying remedy.  It can be found as a component in many quality skin serums, creams, and lotions.  It might help with swelling, bruising (4).  Further, it has been used as an ingredient in cosmetics for improving circulation, reducing wrinkles, and having regenerative potential (5).
