Created to encourage a moment to yourself and bring you peace and tranquillity. Our Real Calm collection is what everyone needs right now. But what is it that makes this blend so unique?
What’s in the blend?
LAVENDER – Lavandula angustifolia
Steam distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of this instantly recognisable plant, Lavender’s aroma is familiar and distinctive; restorative with a floral softness that is soothing and calming.
It is most famously used as a sedative to aid restful sleep and has a soothing, comforting effect, useful for states of anxiety and nervousness.
Did you know?
The word lavender comes from the Latin ‘lavare’ meaning to wash. It was used extensively throughout ancient Rome and Greece to scent bathwater.
PATCHOULI – Pogostemon cablin
Steam distilled from the dried leaves of this bushy perennial herb, Patchouli has soft furry stems and leaves which are highly fragrant. Native to Southeast Asia, it has been used in traditional medicine throughout Asia for centuries. It was perhaps first used in the west during the sixties to fragrance ‘hippy’ fabrics arriving from overseas. It captured and epitomised the ‘free love’ and hedonistic way of thinking of that time.
Did you know?
Patchouli is harvested 2-3 times a year, but picking during the wet season yields the best essential oil. The leaves are picked by hand and dried for 3 days before being distilled.
BERGAMOT – Citrus bergamia
Distilled from the rind of this inedible citrus fruit, Bergamot has many therapeutic uses. These are mostly centred around wellbeing and mood enhancement, but it is also an unexpectedly relaxing oil and can be used to help encourage a restful night’s sleep. As a balancing oil, Bergamot brings an uplifting note to this otherwise deep, intense blend that will allow you to feel more replenished.
The expertly blended combination of these oils helps inspire deep calm and encourages you to take a moment to yourself to ‘re-set’ and carry on with your day.
Did you know?
Our Bergamot Essential Oil is FCF, which means it’s Furocoumarin Free. So, you can be safe in the knowledge that it has had its phototoxic element removed. This means it is safer to use on the skin when blended with a blending oil.
