Product Details
Only a small handful of essential oils can be said to have direct calming and sedating action on the body's central nervous system.
The most commonly known one is Roman Chamomile, the primary ingredient of AROMAVITA 15.
Other key relaxing essential oils are those from lemon balm, lemon verbena, and the lesser known Mandarin Orange leaf. The essential oil obtained from this leaf contains methyl anthranilate, a molecule having calming and destressing action.
Mandarin Orange zest also contains this molecule, though in a lower concentration.
Ylang-Ylang, another essential oil, is often linked to states of well-being and relaxation. Its warm, floral, and sweet notes lock us into a soothing and peaceful state. The soothing effects of this oil can also be explained by its molecules and chemical structure like a group of esters, including benzyl benzoate, one of the most complex aromatic molecules known for its calming effects.
Finally, if there is one essential oil most associated with calming and relaxation, it is Lavender.
This flowery and gently perfumed oil reassures, calms, and protects. Its terpene esters act on the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for waking up the organism and its metabolic function.
Lavender esters slow down or inhibit this system, thus accelerating the desire for sleep and rest, and offering the body a soft sensation of well-being and relaxation
