Improve
Poor Digestion, Brain Fog & Fatigue
 

All the systems in the body are vastly connected. When there is an imbalance in one area it can cause an imbalance in another. Poor digestion can lead to reduced nutrient absorption. It is challenging for the body to absorb vitamins and minerals from foods that are poorly broken down (due to insufficient acids or enzyme levels).This can impact every single aspect of our overall health, with the most common symptoms being a weak immune system, brain fog, and fatigue.

9 Essential Oils for a

Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways. They can be diffused with a nebulizer/diffuser, diffused passively (on our clothing or wearable stones), or used topically (diluted in a carrier oil and applied to the skin).

Here are nine essential oils to help your workday along.
(Find them in your exclusive loyalty basket - linked at the end of this article)

 

 

 

 

Germ Fighter Blend
Grounding + Uplifting

Our Organic Germ Fighter Blend is jam packed with everything you need to fight off outside threats. Contains the 100% pure, undiluted USDA Certified Organic essential oils of Lemon, Clove Bud, Eucalyptus Globulus, Cinnamon Cassia, and Rosemary 1,8-Cineole. Organic Germ Fighter is a Pale Blue Dot favourite and for good reason; it does its job and will continue to support a healthy immune system by helping your body get back to its natural state from the seasonal threats that have you down.

 

Lemongrass
Awake + Aware

Lemongrass is known as being a helpful addition to outdoor sprays. It is refreshing and deodorizing when diffused, as well as being uplifting to the spirit. It can also be added, well-diluted, to a carrier oil to boost circulation, bringing warmth to overused muscles and joints.
 

Rosemary
Productivity + Concentration

Our Organic Rosemary 1,8-Cineole is stimulating, warming and refreshing and can be used to help boost memory retention and staying alert. It has many skin care applications, including adding to a shampoo to aid in maintaining a healthy scalp and lustrous hair. When diffused, Organic Rosemary 1,8-Cineole can also be helpful as a respiratory support oil.

 

 

 

Blues Buster Blend
Bright + Uplifting

The effect of scent on our moods has been well-documented scientifically. The smell of something familiar or comforting often results in an improved mood. People around us seem friendlier, colors look brighter, music sounds sweeter! It doesn’t take much to move that subtle switch from negative to positive. Our Blues Buster Essential Oil Blend is formulated with bright, cheerful Tangerine, Pink Grapefruit, and soothing Bourbon Geranium to increase your sense of emotional well-being. Blues Busters is excellent for diffusion or a personal aromatherapy inhaler. It can also make a great addition to body care or massage products when diluted in a carrier oil to 4%.

Also available in diluted Roll On

 

Clary Sage
Balancing + Calming

Clary Sage is extracted using steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the Clary Sage plant to create an essential oil that is 100% pure with absolutely no additives or fillers. This favorite amongst oil users is a go-to when it comes to women’s issues. To help relieve the issues brought on by a normal woman's menstrual cycle, Clary Sage can be used topically with a carrier oil at a 2-5% ratio, or diffused to create a balancing atmosphere. The wonderful aroma of Clary Sage is very earthy and has hints that are fruity, floral, nutty, and herbaceous. This very soothing aroma is the key blend that helps create an atmosphere that is balancing and calming when emotions are rampant.

Ylang Ylang
Calming + Uplifting

In the language of the Malay people, Ylang Ylang means "flower of flowers". The gorgeous blossoms of the Ylang-Ylang Tree bring to mind visions of the South Pacific. Ylang Ylang Complete is probably best known as an aphrodisiac. When diffused, it can help reduce worry, calm the mind, and help uplift mood. Add to a carrier oil for a romantic massage.


Lavender
Calming

Lavender is perhaps the most well-known of the essential oils and for good reason. Lavender essential oil is renowned for its many beneficial properties, including promoting calm, relaxation, and being a nervous tension reliever. It can also be added to a carrier oil to help reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles and help soothe alterations in skin integrity, such as during sun exposure or a minor cooking burn.

 

Lemon
Uplifting + Boosting

Lemon is one of the most easily recognized oils because of its refreshing, energizing and uplifting scent. It can help support a healthy immune system and is also frequently added to spray cleaners.

Vetiver
Eases Stress

Organic Vetiver is a root oil that is jam packed with therapeutic properties. This oil is known for its abilities to promote relaxation and balance. Organic Vetiver is very popular to use before bedtime to help calm the mind. It has a very strong aroma that has an earthy, woodsy, smoky scent, but is pleasant to the senses.

Topically: When applying essential oils to your skin (as perfume, etc), you must dilute them in a carrier oil.

 

 

 

 

What is a Carrier Oil?

A carrier oil is any type of oil used to dilute your essential oil before applying directly to your skin. Essential oils are extremely potent in their pure form and can cause irritation if not diluted first.

Some great carrier oil options are: fractionated coconut oil, castor oil, sesame oil, olive oil.

Some of our essential oil offerings come pre-diluted for easy application! Check out the following!

 

Blues Buster

 Don't let the Monday Blues get you down. Our Blues Buster Essential Oil Blend is fresh, uplifting, and just what you need to infuse some brightness into your day. It starts with a scent of sparkling, juicy Pink Grapefruit, a favorite for its mood-boosting benefits. Tangerine brings a softer note that is just as cheerful. And finally, Bourbon Geranium rounds out the blend with an herbaceous floral aroma, bringing its balancing benefits. The result is a beautiful blend that will lift up your mood and brighten your day when stress tries to get you down.

Blues Buster is pre-diluted in Fractionated Coconut Oil, so you can easily and safely apply it topically whenever or whenever you need it.

 

Germ Fighter 

It is so important to keep your body on alert for attacks against your immune system. Ward off the threats going around the office or at school by using Germ-Fighter. It can give you that extra protection you need. Plus, it smells great!

 

 

 

 

 

 Tension Relief

Help fight off tension headaches the natural way with our Tension Relief essential oil blend! We all get them - Stress, dehydration, sinus pressure, lack of sleep and muscle tension can all cause your head to feel like it’s splitting and your neck is screaming.
