BACKGROUND
The oils in Joy have been used for centuries for both their aromatic properties and their emotional benefits. The rich floral notes of rose, ylang ylang, and jasmine have been adored in perfumes and incense across cultures, often used to symbolize love, beauty, and emotional healing. Citrus oils like lemon and mandarin are known for their refreshing and mood-lifting qualities, while bergamot has a reputation for calming nervous tension. Bergamot is rumored to have been taken to Italy by way of the Canary Islands by Christopher Columbus. Rose has been praised for its fragrance and other qualities since ancient Greek and Roman times. With such powerful oils, it’s no surprise that Joy is a member favorite.
JOY & EMOTIONS
Joy is more than just a fragrant blend; it’s an emotional powerhouse. Whether you're dealing with heavy emotions, feelings of hopelessness, or going through a challenging season like postpartum, this blend helps restore feelings of positivity and emotional well-being.
Essential oils are a wonderful way to support emotional health by working with the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls our emotions and memories. When we experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, essential oils can help calm the nervous system and shift our emotional state. The oils in Joy, such as rose, jasmine, and bergamot, can uplift our mood, ease negative thought patterns, and encourage feelings of love, peace, and positivity. To use Joy for emotional well-being, try diffusing it throughout your home, applying it topically to pulse points, or even adding it to your meditation or mindfulness practices. Regular use can help promote emotional balance and offer comfort during challenging times.
Joy is especially supportive for those struggling with anxiety or sadness, bringing comfort and emotional balance. The beautiful, uplifting aroma helps to clear the mind and calm the spirit, offering support when you need it most.
