Ylang Ylang essential oil – This oil has properties that may help cheer you up, and it also helps tame fears if you find yourself getting overwhelmed and unnerved. This study shows how a combination of Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, and Lavender helped reduce “psychological stress responses and serum cortisol levels, as well as the blood pressure of clients with essential hypertension.”

Melissa essential oil – This oil has been given the nickname “Elixir of Life” for it’s mood-lifting properties. It helps to relax the body and mind, and help bring about a state of contentment.
Patchouli essential oil – This oil may be useful in helping cope with depression, anxiety, and general stress. When you breathe in this oil, it helps to release hormones that may help calm anger and anxiousness.
Sandalwood essential oil – This essential oil helps promote clarity in thought, and has many therapeutic benefits. It not only smells beautiful, but you will experience its calming, relaxing properties without necessarily feeling sleepy.
Inhalation of essential oils brings many benefits because emotions are linked to our sense of smell, and calming responses (slowing heart rate, regular breathing, blood pressure, etc.) are stimulated by the properties of certain oils.

The natural lava stones are very porous and you will enjoy both topical and aromatic benefits of your oils while using them on this bracelet. Lava stones are symbolic of protection & strength, and promote stability during changing times.

Finally, Tiger’s Eye may help release fear and anxiety, and aids in discernment and understanding in making important descisions.
