LAVENDER According to the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, lavender essential oil decreases problems caused by Vata, Pitta and Kapha (the biological forces of wind, fire and phlegm). By balancing "wind", lavender oil will assist in slowing down the overly active mind and will support tranquility and peacefulness. By balancing "fire", lavender oil will decrease excess heat in the body and mind and will support clarity and brightness of presence. By balancing "phlegm", lavender oil helps to lighten tendencies toward sluggishness, complacency and melancholy. Lavender is generally mood-uplifting and supports heightened energy.
PEPPERMINT Peppermint oil is well-known for the dramatic effect it has on the body and mind. In the body, it is particularly well-suited for opening the breath, and relaxing an overworked body.

Peppermint’s cool and clearing nature makes it ideal for stimulating mental agility and improving concentration for the tasks at hand. It is also effective against worry, grief and heaviness. This is a great oil to keep on hand next to your diffuser in your office or work studio.
