Rose

My mother-in-law was faced with a health challenge of great proportions. I wanted to make a blend for her that would touch her heart -- to let her know how much she is loved, and to let her love of others have opportunity for expression. In addition, I wanted to give her a sense of calmness, and open a pathway for connection to the very center of healing and overall wellness. While rose is known as the "Queen of Flowers", and is quite feminine in its qualities, this blend could be used by both men and women, each finding their own balance of masculine and feminine energies.

Description of essential oils used in Rose...

Gulab Attar: We use only the finest attars from India, distilled under the guidance of two men (one American and one Indian) who are dedicated to the revival of this ancient process. Our attars are pure and authentic. The flower note in Gulab Attar is Rose damascena.
Rose: effective on all levels of life, for the spirit, mind, and physical body; it is harmonizing, anti-depressive and helps open the heart and soothe feelings such as anger, fear and anxiety. It is especially helpful for conditions involving grief, loss, bitterness, hopelessness, broken heart, the hurt inner-child, and unnecessary guilt.
Sandalwood: calming, harmonizing effect helps reduce tension and confusion; the yogis describe sandalwood oil as the fragrance of the "subtle body", the center of the highest insight and enlightenment.
Neroli: a natural tranquilizer for anxiety and shock, useful for insomnia particularly when the sleeplessness arises from anxiety.
Benzoin: soothing, helps to clear away fear, loneliness and doubt.
