Essential Oil Blends And Aromas That Heal And Usher In Good Energy

Fragrances are powerful in that they can bring back memories, evoke emotions and set the mood. Essential oils, more specifically, have become wellness staples that enhance healing and sense of balance. At VITRUVI, expertise in botanicals and traditional blending methods are applied in the creation of scents that uplift, relax and soothe. The team explains: “Many traditional home scenting products use artificial or synthetic fragrances, which can be harmful to breathe in on a daily basis. Using non-toxic, all natural, 100% pure essential oils, we expertly source and blend unique aromas to help you take ownership of your space.”

Just recently, the Vancouver-based lifestyle brand launched Blend Kits which showcase the brand’s most beloved blends. UPLIFT brings together four elevating scents that enliven and energize.

The spaces we move around in need just as much cleansing as our minds and bodies.

It was a friend of mine who suffers from chronic pains who affirmed that aromatherapy has worked wonders for here overall wellbeing. “It’s kept me from high doses of pain killers and other harmful ibuprofens.” she said. Aromatherapist and founder of wellness lifestyle label EVE & KEEL explains: “Something I found my clients really needed were blends they could use in their everyday life to support wellbeing and encourage a sense of balance so I got to work and created EVE & KEEL.”

The CHAKRA ROLLER SET is a brilliant start off point for those looking to explore the wonderful world of aromatherapy. Consisting of seven powerful blends, each roller is formulated to enhance and balance our energy centers. There is a unique blend for varied intentions and states of being. Jenny simplifies and breaks down the aromatherapy blends that will most likely come in handy this season:

SANDALWOOD helps with grounding and centering. “I always recommend taking care to source it sustainably if you’re buying the essential oil. Australian Sandalwood is best and is found in the Courage Roller.

ROMAN CHAMOMILE is a comforting aroma and essential oil ingredient found in the Clarity Roller. Jenny suggests that, “If sleep is elusive, chamomile is worth investing in. Great to diffuse along with lavender and mandarin.” Relaxation corners or bedrooms are ideal spaces for these scents. Also great to keep close by for an extra dose of chill.

BERGAMOT is a scent for bringing in a festive and cheerful mood. Jenny elaborates that, “This is my go-to oil when I need a lift. It smells like holidays and sunshine and gives a feeling of much needed optimist and lightness.” An ingredient active in the Joy Roller, Bergamot is a big dose of good energy contained in a tiny roller bottle.
