Bergamot, Frankincense, Geranium, Lavender, Sweet orange, Rosewood and Ylang Ylang.

Indications

Mind & Spirit – Has a great influence on the emotions particularly when they involve relationships and sex, works at releasing unresolved emotional blocks. Clearly an oil that intensely changes the mood and offers little choice other than optimism (vaporizer and blended for massage).

Body – Is an effective oil for post-natal depression as well.

Skin & Hair – Particularly useful in skincare and is used to treat dry, aggravated skin.

Jasmine is diluted in jojoba oil at 3% due to the cost and powerful effects.
