I recently purchased nine oils from edensgarden.com website, they 141 essential oils to choose from, not including their synergy blends that always smells so delicious and make it easier for diffusing them.
I got into essential oils mainly because not only is it interesting to smell different kinds of oils, learning about what even is an essential oil, but I love creating my own skin care, sugar scrubs, sea salt soaks, etc. However, the main thing I use my essential oils for is roll-ons and diffusing. [I have so many roll-on recipes that I will be sharing in the near future].
Moving on to the essential oil review and what I thought of each oil:
Sweet Orange Essential Oil: is of course a favorite of mine right next to lavender and roman chamomile. Sweet citrusy aroma that always has an uplifting effect on the senses and is a must in anyone’s collection. I use this for cleaning, baths, face washes, sugar scrubs, & roll-ons. If you love eating oranges, why not enjoy smelling them too?
Spearmint Essential Oil: I like peppermint, and boy did I like spearmint. It smells exactly like the gum I used to chew on in class. If you mix 2 drops of spearmint, 2 drops of orange, 2 of lemon, and 1 geranium this combination in a diffuser, makes your room smell just like the beach. This is my now my go-to for summer scents and I am sure to add this to my Invigorating Energy roll-on.
Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil: Oh if heaven could exist in one bottle, it would be lavender. I personally prefer Bulgarian, but that is just me. I would like to try Greek, Roman, & French lavender that Edens Garden offers, just to see what the difference is not only property wise, but scent as well. Lavender is calming, soothing, and will put you right to sleep on those restless nights. I like to use my lavender in my Anxiety Ease roll-on if I am going out and I happen to feel stressed or worried.
Joy Synergy Blend: Sweet Orange, Lemon, Tangerine, Lime, Lavender, Damiana, Jasmine, And Vanilla.
Just as the name implies, this truly is joy in a bottle. Every time I diffuse this, I cannot help but smile as I reflect on past memories of when I was child and outside playing with friends. This essential oil blend has such an uplifting effect, it will bring anyone out of the dumps or on days you don’t feel like yourself. I recommend mixing this in the bath adding 3 drops and deeply inhale the sweet-floral-citrusy scent it has to offer.
Guardian Synergy Blend: Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Cinnamon Leaf, Eucaltypus G., and Rosemary.
I made a roll on using this oil and other blends for my joint pain that I was having in my wrists. It has worked miracles and is paired perfectly with spearmint in the winter time in the diffuser for a refreshing cinnamon cookie smell.
Citrus Cream Synergy Blend: Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Tangerine, Clementine, and Vanilla.
I will confess I used this whole bottle in less than a month because I fell deeply in love with a fruity, sweet scent. I couldn’t resist buying this oil in the 1 ounce. I love a lot of Edens Gardens Synergy blends mainly because of how creative they are and addicting as well. This oil just lifts up my mood and yet makes me smile every time I diffuse.
Stress Relief Synergy Blend: Sweet Orange, Bergamot, Patchouli, Grapefruit, and Ylang Ylang. This one is the best for jitters or after a long day, as the name implies it is very relaxing. Any time I diffuse this or add this blend to any of my roll on’s, it always gets the job done. I diffuse it around my dogs and it calms them down as well! I will be buying more of the blend because it has been so effective.
Eucalyptus Gloubus Essential Oil: Is a basic and a standard must have for those who not only like to heighten the scent of their oil blends, but has an amazing ability to open air ways in the chest and nose during times of illness. It is one of my favorite oils to add into my diffuser paired with orange and peppermint because it makes my nose tingle every time I smell it. I will most likely order the 1 once for this essential oil because of how universal uses this oil has.
Elemi Essential Oil: Also known as “poor man’s Frankincense” because it is in the Myrrh and Frankincense family, its healing properties are very similar to those two, but it has a more fruity and uplifting scent. I do ironically, enjoy the scent of Elemi more than my Frankincense essential oil. I like to add it to my “Anxiety Ease” roll on and into my diffuser at night when my mind is restless. I have to admit that I liked pretty much all of the oils I have ever bought from Plant Therapy and Edens Garden, the only one that I have not enjoyed the scent of is Petitgrain.
