Inflammatory Support EO Lotion (formerly Refresh)

This essential oil blend offers a bold, herbaceous, and slightly medicinal aromatic experience with a complex character designed to reflect its purpose: to comfort the body, ground the mind, and soothe the emotional toll of inflammation. Built on a foundation of cooling clarity, subtle warmth, and deep herbal support, the scent profile is as functional as it is grounding.

 

General Aroma:
Fresh, herbaceous, and medicinal with subtle minty sharpness and a warm, earthy-floral base—clean and restorative with a hint of wildness.

 

Aroma Notes:

• Top Notes: Brisk and penetrating minty notes with crisp medicinal clarity

• Middle Notes: Dry herbal tones with soft camphoraceous and spicy nuances

• Base Notes: Warm, earthy-floral depth with subtly resinous and grounding elements

 

Feel of the Aroma:
The aroma feels immediately clarifying and cool, like a deep breath in a high-altitude forest. As it settles, there’s a sense of warmth and security that begins to unfold, softening tension while reinforcing a quiet inner steadiness. It offers a full-body aromatic experience that moves from refreshing to calming without overstimulation.

 

Effect of the Aroma:
Mentally and emotionally, this blend helps interrupt cycles of agitation or heaviness that often accompany inflammation. It encourages presence and ease, clearing away fog and frustration. The scent helps anchor attention, regulate breath, and promote a composed mood—especially during periods of physical or emotional stress.

 

Combined Physical and Emotional Effect:
Physically, the blend supports relief from the sensations of heat, swelling, or stiffness, offering cooling comfort and enhancing the body's ability to return to balance. Emotionally, it tempers irritation and restlessness, fostering emotional resilience and relaxation. Together, it creates a space of calm recovery—inviting relief, clarity, and reconnection to comfort even in the presence of chronic or acute inflammation.

This essential oil blend is expertly formulated to assist the body’s natural response to inflammation, combining cooling, circulatory, and regenerative properties into a single synergistic formula. Designed to ease physical discomfort while promoting calm and resilience, it targets both the visible and underlying effects of inflammation—whether from overuse, injury, or ongoing chronic conditions.

Physically, this blend supports relief from swelling, stiffness, and discomfort associated with inflamed tissues. The inclusion of both warming and cooling oils promotes healthy circulation while reducing localized tension. Some components are known to support tissue regeneration, which may assist with recovery from strain, muscular fatigue, or joint issues. This makes the blend especially suitable for use in areas affected by physical overuse, repetitive motion, or inflammatory flare-ups.

Emotionally, the blend helps ease irritability and agitation that often accompany persistent discomfort. Inflammation can affect more than just the body—it can drain patience, energy, and emotional stability. This formula offers a centering, soothing aromatic experience to help restore emotional calm and reduce tension that might otherwise amplify physical pain.

Mentally, it helps clear fog and promote focus during times when inflammation may make concentration difficult. Whether discomfort disrupts sleep, slows mobility, or contributes to fatigue, this blend offers a revitalizing yet grounded aromatic profile that supports clarity and mental balance.

Best suited for:

• Topical support (diluted) for areas affected by inflammation, tension, or soreness

• Recovery after intense activity or strain

• Chronic discomfort linked to inflammatory conditions

• Emotional balancing when pain leads to frustration or mental fatigue

• Use in massage, compresses, or bath rituals for full-body comfort

This blend offers a well-rounded approach to inflammation support—calming discomfort, lifting the emotional load, and helping the body re-center in times of stress or recovery.

Approximately 2 to 3 years, assuming proper storage conditions.

 

Shelf Life Breakdown by Oil Type:

• Shorter-lived oils (1.5 to 2 years):

  • Birch – High in methyl salicylate, prone to oxidation

  • Peppermint – Can degrade more quickly if exposed to light or heat

  • Anthopogon – A conifer-type oil; oxidizes faster

  • Kunzea and Saro – Lighter, oxidizable components

• Moderate-lived oils (2 to 3 years):

  • Black Pepper, Myrtle, Turmeric – Relatively stable but best used within 2–3 years

• Longer-lasting oils (3 to 5 years+):

  • Helichrysum, Yarrow – More stable oils with extended shelf life due to their chemical profiles

  •  

Best Practices to Preserve Shelf Life:

• Store in dark, airtight glass amber or cobalt blue jars

• Keep away from light, heat, and oxygen exposure

• Ideal storage temperature: below 68°F (20°C)

• Avoid frequent opening of the bottle to minimize oxidation

• Use antioxidants like Vitamin E for extended stability, Healthy Embraces all have Vitamin E  as a stabilizer.

 

To maintain therapeutic and aromatic quality, use within 24 months of blending. Oils like Birch and Anthopogon are especially sensitive to oxidation, which can reduce effectiveness and increase skin irritation risk over time. When properly stored, the blend may remain viable for up to 3 years, though sensory and safety quality should be reassessed annually.
