Green Essential Oils

Essential oils with a green fragrance remind us of the equilibrium and poise found in leaves and herbs, with their lush, cool, moist fragrant greenness. Most of them belong to the lipflower or mint family that thrive throughout Mediterranean countries like France, Spain, Croatia and Greece. 

Green oils generally exert a relaxing, balancing and cooling effect and are therefore perfect for helping us cope with unproductive stress; they should be seen as ‘anytime oils’ for that reason. They are unsurpassed for relieving nervous tension, worry, anxiety and insomnia — and frankly whenever a situation arises that clearly demands a calming, even a sedating, effect! 

On the emotional level, green oils give us the gift of emotional balance. Irritability, moodiness, emotional conflicts — these and many more kinds of emotional stagnation can be cleared up with the help of these gentle allies to our emotional well-being. 

The green oils work especially well when blended with any of the sweet types of oils. Don’t forget to go to the How To Use Essential Oils page for lots of nifty preparation ideas.
