Feel of the Aroma
The feel of the aroma is centering, stabilizing, and gently invigorating. It enters the senses with a cooling and refreshing lift, then gradually settles into a warm, comforting presence.

Effect of the Aroma

Combined Physical and Emotional Effect
Physically, the blend supports digestive and nervous system comfort, helping to ease bloating, tension, and internal stagnation. Its regulating nature supports the body’s natural rhythm, particularly around digestion and overall gut wellness.

Emotionally, it provides grounding and reassurance. The soothing yet bright character helps to ease frustration, restlessness, and mental fatigue, encouraging calm presence without sedation. It’s the kind of blend that helps you feel more at ease in your body, more clear in your thoughts, and more resilient in your mood.

 

Summary
This is a thoughtful and multi-dimensional blend that delivers clarity, comfort, and composure. Whether you're seeking digestive ease, emotional steadiness, or a refreshed mental state, the aroma works in layers—subtle, smart, and deeply supportive.

Overview

An essential oil blend containing Basil, Carrot Seed, Fennel, Hyssop, Mandarin, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Nutmeg, Lavender, and Thyme offers a comprehensive approach to digestive and colon support, blending carminative, antispasmodic, and regulatory properties that benefit both acute and chronic digestive imbalances. This formulation is especially well-suited for promoting digestive ease, soothing abdominal tension, and supporting overall gut health.

 

Primary Uses for Digestive Support

1. Eases Bloating, Gas, and Digestive Discomfort

This blend features several botanicals traditionally used to relieve intestinal gas, abdominal pressure, and cramping. Carminative and antispasmodic properties help reduce discomfort caused by bloating or sluggish digestion, supporting smoother gastrointestinal flow.

2. Promotes Healthy Peristalsis and Motility

Stimulating components help encourage natural movement through the digestive tract without overstimulation. This can support more regular bowel activity and reduce sensations of stagnation or fullness.

3. Calms Digestive Tension Linked to Stress

The gut is often sensitive to emotional or nervous tension. This blend helps soothe the gut-brain connection, calming the digestive tract during episodes of stress-induced indigestion, nervous stomach, or irregularity.

4. Supports Liver and Colon Function

Some of the oils included have gentle detox-supportive properties, helping to support the liver’s natural processing functions and contributing to the maintenance of a healthy colon environment.

5. Encourages Comfort After Meals

Useful after heavy or rich meals, the blend aids in relieving fullness, easing digestive sluggishness, and restoring comfort to the core. It’s a strong companion for post-meal routines or as a preventative in sensitive individuals.

 

Holistic Benefits

This blend supports not only digestive relief but also emotional grounding and mental clarity, both of which are essential when addressing digestive imbalances linked to stress or overstimulation. It helps regulate the nervous system’s influence on the gut, promoting calm, steady function throughout the entire digestive process.

 

Summary

This essential oil blend is designed to nurture digestive function from multiple angles—addressing physical symptoms, emotional contributors, and underlying imbalances. Ideal for daily digestive maintenance or as-needed support, it offers a grounded, plant-based solution to help you feel comfortable, clear, and centered in your core.

Estimated Shelf Life: 1.5 to 2 years

This is a moderately short-lived blend, due to several oils that oxidize relatively quickly and can become irritating or less effective over time. Citrus and soft herbs are the primary limiting factors.

 

Shelf Life by Key Oils (for context):

• Shorter Shelf Life Oils (1–2 years):

  • Mandarin (cold-pressed citrus, prone to oxidation)

  • Basil (high in linalool or methyl chavicol depending on chemotype)

  • Peppermint (rich in menthol, sensitive to oxidation)

  • Fennel (especially sweet fennel, which contains trans-anethole)

  • Thyme (especially high-thymol types)

• Moderately Stable Oils (2–3 years):

  • Lavender

  • Nutmeg

  • Hyssop 

• Longer Shelf Life Oils (4–6 years):

  • Carrot Seed

  • Cedarwood (particularly Atlas or Himalayan types)

  •  

Storage Tips to Maximize Shelf Life:

• Store in amber or cobalt blue glass jars

• Keep tightly sealed and away from light, heat, and oxygen exposure

• Store in a cool, dark place—refrigeration is ideal for longer preservation

• Add a few drops of vitamin E (tocopherol) to help slow oxidation. Has been added to all blends

 

 Why This Matters:

As oxidation increases, so does the risk of skin sensitization and reduced therapeutic value. For a blend designed to support digestion and internal balance, freshness is essential to maintain both safety and effectiveness.

• Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with care.
• For external use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive areas.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Discontinue use if irritation or adverse reaction occurs. Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
