The Intention: Cortisol Reduction, Mental Decompression & Nerve Soothing
Less Stress is a grounding, herbaceous, and "quieting" blend. It moves away from the bright energy of High Spirit and instead offers a stabilizing, "middle-road" aroma. It opens with the comforting, floral familiar of Lavender, which is immediately anchored by the green, slightly woody scent of Petitgrain. As it is massaged into the skin, the earthy, tea-like notes of Clary Sage emerge, creating a scent profile that feels like a long, deep sigh. It is designed to settle the "butterflies" in the stomach and the "noise" in the head.
Carrier Base: A calming base of Sweet Almond and Jojoba. These oils provide a steady, reliable glide that doesn't absorb too quickly, allowing for the slow, rhythmic massage strokes that are most effective for stress relief.
Essential Oil Core: Lavender to lower the heart rate and promote systemic calm, Petitgrain (the "Valium of the essential oil world") to protect the nervous system from overstimulation, and Clary Sage to release deep-seated muscular tension and emotional "knots."
Physical: Specifically formulated to address the physical symptoms of chronic stress, such as tension headaches, a tight jaw, and "shallow" breathing. It helps to relax the diaphragm and the muscles of the upper back and neck, where we typically "carry" our stress.
Emotional: Provides a sense of emotional "insulation." It helps to dampen the "fight or flight" response, making it easier to handle deadlines, conflict, or high-pressure environments with a sense of calm perspective.
The "Unwinding" Back Massage: Best used in the evening. Focus on the long muscles on either side of the spine and the tops of the shoulders using slow, heavy strokes.
Solar Plexus Soother: Massage a small amount in a clockwise direction over the upper abdomen to ease "nervous stomach" and encourage deep, abdominal breathing.
Desk-Side Relief: During a busy workday, massage a few drops into the temples and the "webbing" between the thumb and forefinger to quickly reset the nervous system.
For the temporary relief of TENSION HEADACHES & STRESS -
DIRECT APPLICATION: Massage into shoulders, back of neck and temples twice daily or apply as a full body massage.
BATH: Add 10 ml (3 capfuls) to bath water.
Store Below 30°C (86°F)
Avoid use during pregnancy due to the presence of Clary Sage (which can stimulate the uterus). Generally non-sensitizing, but because it is deeply relaxing, caution is advised if you need to remain highly alert for technical or dangerous tasks immediately after use.
If menstrual pain persists, seek medical advice.
NEVER take internally. FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
IF POISONING OCCURS GET TO A DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL QUICKLY.
DO NOT use on children under 2 years of age without medical advice.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
