Lavender, Neroli & Ylang Ylang

Rich, fragrant and eye-opening, nothing engages the senses like lavender. Add the citrus zing of neroli and robust but mellow ylang ylang to the mix and you have a scent profile that both enlivens and calms.

Lavender promotes calmness and wellness. It's also said to help reduce stress, anxiety, and possibly even mild pain. More specifically, lavender has been known to alleviate cardiac excitation and to lower blood pressure. Neroli has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation and has antifungal properties. Its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties make it a powerful healer. It brings forth emotional soothing and comfort and is effective in cardiac palpitations secondary to shock or fear. One of the main components of ylang ylang essential oil is linalool, a compound found to possess stress-reducing properties. Ylang ylang lowers blood pressure, alleviates palpitations and nervous system excitation, and promotes emotional relaxation.

The Aquarian Way references this Age of Aquarius in which we find ourselves. A common position expressed by many astrologers sees the Age of Aquarius as that time when humanity takes control of the Earth and its own destiny as its rightful heritage, with the destiny of humanity being the revelation of truth and the expansion of consciousness. As we watch and at times, participate in the transformation of major institutions and systems that humanity has relied upon for millennia, courage, wisdom and calm are in high demand. This scent profile is meant to fulfill our collective call for healing and the expansion of our awareness of the things around us.
