This week, we’ll be sharing some information about the essential oils that were featured in last week’s blog post.
Single oils
Cedarwood 15ml
Cedarwood has a woody, balsamic and sweet odour, bringing memories of freshly sharpened pencils. Its fragrance is uplifting and grounding, bringing a sense of calm and mental clarity. As it stimulates the limbic region, it promotes relaxation and clears the mind, bringing a sense of peace to meditation and enhancing one’s spiritual practice. It promotes a good night’s sleep and enhances positive emotions and a state of being.
Cedarwood is used in many cosmetics as it promotes and supports healthy skin, hair and nails. It is extremely soothing when used in massage, especially after exercise.
Application:
Aromatic via direct inhalation or diffused in a cold-air diffuser to cleanse, purify and refresh the atmosphere, mind, body and spirit; topical application on location; applied to the palms and ‘brushed’ through the energy field; applied on the chakras; use during energetic/vibrational healing; used as a dietary supplement.

Jade Lemon 5ml
Jade Lemon™ is grown in the warm, humid climate of southeast China. While other lemons begin to release some of their oils aromatically as they turn yellow, the jade lemon fruit remains green even in maturity, allowing the concentration of oil to continue within the fruit. The oil is released only after the fruit is picked, giving it a richer and more fragrant aroma.
Jade Lemon contains high levels of the antioxidant d-limonene, which helps invigorate, uplift, and energize while supporting a healthy immune system. This oil promotes and supports skin health as well as emotional health. Jade Lemon also supports clarity of thought and purpose. It is a versatile oil that can be used to clean, detox, and purify mind, body and spirit.
University studies have found that citrus fragrances induce relaxation and invoke feelings of happiness.
