Lavender - Lavender is an evergreen woody shrub about 3 feet tall, with gray-green narrow linear leaves with the most beautiful purple-blue flowers perched on a long stem. The name Lavender is derived from the Latin word 'lavera' to wash. The Romans used Lavender frequently in their bath routine, and it is said to have been introduced by them into England, where it soon became a favorite.

Lavender has a soothing and calming effect on the nerves, relieving tension, depression, panic, hysteria and nervous exhaustion in general. It is also effective for headaches, migraines and insomnia.

Neroli Oil - Neroli oil is extracted from the flowers of Citrus aurantium var. Neroli oil has a sweet, floral and slightly haunting aroma, the color is pale yellow and the viscosity is watery. This essential oil is also known as 'orange blossom' and it takes about 1000 lbs. of orange blossoms to make 1 lb. of Neroli oil. The name Neroli is said to originate from the Italian princess, Anne-Marie de la Tremoille, Countess of Nerola, who used the oil as a perfume and to scent her bathwater and gloves.

Neroli oil helps with the regeneration of skin cells and is useful for scar tissue, skin care and stretch marks; it is also very relaxing and can relieve chronic anxiety, depression, fear, shock and stress.
