Dragonfly's aromatherapy oils - what are they good for? Part1

Updated: Aug 30, 2022

“Borrowing the flowers’ fragrant soul messengers to create perfumes and potions enables us to transcend the boundaries of our verbal world. Scent communicates with the non-verbal part of the brain, where the soul ‘thinks’ in imagery and associations. That is why a fleeting whiff of subtle fragrance can instantly transport us a million miles away. Thus, the sense of smell forms the gateway to the subconscious mind and even taps into what Jung termed the collective unconscious.” – From starchild.co.uk




What are essential oils?


Essential oils are natural products extracted from the flower, bark, leaves, or fruit of plants.

Aromatherapy is a powerful practice for healing and balancing the energy in your body.

We have developed a range of essential oil blends specifically suited to each chakra as well as a love oil blend massage oil to help with sensuality, connection and relaxation.


Let’s start with our aromatherapy massage oil: Love blend. This oil is a hand-blended mixture of ylang-ylang, cardamom, clary sage, rose and mandarin. It is sensual, relaxing and connecting.


Ylang-Ylang: (Cananga odorata), is an aphrodisiac, is anti-spasmodic, an anti-depressant and is nourishing. It dispels fear and apprehension and can help gain a sense of self-confidence. It is made from the flowers of a small tropical tree native from the Philippines.




Cardamom: (Elettaria Cardamomum), is anti-microbial, boosts your metabolism, lowers blood pressure and may have an arousing effect. Cardamom is an oriental spice from the ginger family.




Clary Sage: (Salvia sclarea), is also an antispasmodic and an aphrodisiac. It relaxes the body and relieves anxiety and stress. Clary sage is closely related to the common garden herb sage. The flowers and leaves are used to produce essential oil.




Rose: (Rosa x damascena) made from rose petals, is cell regenerative and nourishes the emotions. It is an aphrodisiac and reduces stress and anxiety. It is also good for PMS.




Mandarin: (Citrus reticulata) is an uplifting scent made from the Chinese citrus fruit and is calming, warming and reduces pain. It is good for cellular health and brings joy.



Our love blend combines all the above ingredients into a sensual, relaxing and connecting massage oil.
