Let’s talk about floral oils. When I say floral oil this means the essential oil comes from distilling the actual flower of the plant to create the essential oil.

Marcel Lavabre, a producer of essential oils in France, states that, “essential oils from flowers tend to be the most spiritually evolved fragrances.” He explains, “this indicates a sign of strong astral activity. Floral oils tend to be very refined and are often very difficult to extract.”

Floral essential oils also tend to lift depressive feelings and can be very healthy for the female body, skin, and muscle tissue both inside and outside the body.

For example, true Lavender is distilled from the flowers of the Lavandula angustifolia plant.

Some examples of other floral oils could be:

1.      Geranium – adrenal support, antidepressant capacity tonic

2.      Clary Sage – grounding and calming for inflammation in tissue

3.      Roman Chamomile – calming for discomfort both emotional and physical, anti-inflammatory

4.      Jasmine (in Pure Embrace) – invigorating and romantic oil

5.      Neroli (in Pure Embrace and Pure Stability) – helpful when feeling anxious or not enough

6.     Ylang Ylang – (see below)

7.     Yarrow – inflammation, powerful for the immune system

Floral oils tend to have a sweetness that other essential oils do not have as a primary characteristic. With some florals the sweetness is stronger like with Ylang Ylang.

A friend was recently at our home and Carrie, and I let him smell a sample of Ylang Ylang that we are looking at possibly sourcing and as he smelled it, he took a step back and said,

“Wow that is amazing! It smells awesome! What is that?!”

Carrie and I both laughed and said, “It is Ylang Ylang, a floral oil with great capacity to calm the mind, muscles and the heart.”

Have you ever met someone or associated with someone who has true power? When I say power, I am not speaking of force.

People of true power are those souls to whom people naturally gravitate too, and these types of people don’t need to use force to break down barriers. They do not seek to control others.

I believe people of true power know who they are and are not threatened by others and do not live in a state of competition. They seek to bless others and often go about much good unseen. Their simple presence allows for progress to happen.

I feel that if we were to give floral oils a human personality, they would be persons of deep genuine influence who accept us where we are, but do not allow us to stay where we are. They want us to grow like flowers, and people are meant to.

Just the consistent application and scent of floral oils over time can help to remove the deep-seated emotions that we sometimes hold onto that keep us from becoming who we are meant to be.

Most floral oils blend well with each other, and so I invite you to apply a drop of one like Lavender to your skin followed by a Clary Sage or Roman Chamomile to experience a new grounding and hopeful aroma.
