Allspice
This essential oil's aroma is similar to a mixture of pepper, clove and cinnamon....it is spicy and warm. Allspice is stimulating and vitalizing. It's debatable whether it should be used in massage since it is such a powerful oil. May irritate the skin and mucous membranes. A very warming oil, gets the circulation going. Allspice gets along well with frankincense, ginger, lemon and orange.

Bay Laurel
Herbaceous, slightly camphoraceous, and warm. Traditional Use: Bay oil was very popular with the Romans, who thought Bay was a symbol of wisdom, peace and protection. Properties: Analgesic, antibacterial, antifungal.
Benzoin
Has a sweet, warm, vanilla-like odor that is long lasting and makes it an excellent fixative. Therapeutic properties of benzoin: Antibacterial, antifungal; seals wounds from infection; counteracts inflammation; decreases gas, indigestion, and lung congestion; promotes circulation; and is an antioxidant and deodorant. Effective against redness, irritation, or itching on the skin, benzoin's most popular use is in a cream to protect chapped skin and improve skin elasticity. Since it is also a strong preservative, adding it to vegetable oil-based preparations delays their oxidation and spoilage.
Blue Tansy
Blue Tansy essential oil has a high content of chamazulene, which gives Tansy oil its characteristic blue color. Induces relaxation and can be used to ease nervous tension and stress. Blue Tansy is also used as an anti-inflammatory and is a must in blends for burns, sunburns and bruises. It is said to be beneficial for allergies and is most effectively used as an inhalant in a diffuser or you can also put a couple of drops on a handkerchief and inhale. As an anti-inflammatory, it is also quite useful for asthma, blend it with some Ravensara for best results. Blue tansy, like the blue oils, is used for sore muscles, sprains and strains, arthritis, rheumatism, and sciatica. Also known as Moroccan Chamomile. This Chamomile, which is classified botanically as a member of the Tansy family, has the most chamazulene of all the blue oils, and is characterized by an intensely sweet herbal scent and deep blue color. The anti-inflammatory effect is significant, though it is not as pronounced as CO2 extracted German Chamomile. Nonetheless, it is an effective alternative to the German Chamomile in many formulations, and has value as an excellent natural anti-histamine. This would make it very suitable for working with allergic reactions such as hay fever, asthma and hives. Generally non-irritating and non-toxic, however it has not yet been formally tested. This is not a food grade item and should never be taken internally. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Buddhawood
A good substitute for Sandalwood oil. The scent is woody, mossy, and mild with subtle leathery-smoky notes. Though not powerful, the aroma has decent tenacity and remains balanced throughout. It is not as sweet as sandalwood or cedar atlas. We are not aware of any therapeutic properties of Buddhawood, however it would be great for meditation.

Chamomile, German
This essential oil was distilled often in Germany from Hungarian raw materials which may explain the term "German" Chamomile. The unique soil and climate of Bulgaria is known for imparting many of the finest nuances in the Industry (i.e. Lavender, Rose). The reason for the deep beautiful blue hue is the natural constituent, a hydrocarbon; chamazulene. The chamazulene content gives German Chamomile its most important actions such as soothing, calming and anti-inflammatory. It is widely believed this constituent does not affect the aroma. The odor is intensely sweet, coumarin-like, herbal and slightly fruity. The dry out notes are warm and pleasant like sweet tobacco.
Chamomile, Roman
It is very warm, sweet, comforting, slightly bitter and somewhat green. Roman Chamomile is more fruity and somewhat apple-like in aroma. This oil is very fragrant and shares a lot of the properties of the other Chamomile species. Relaxing, soothing, calming the nerves without being a sedative (great for kids!), very gentle oil for many skin conditions, digestive problems and stress. Great skincare properties, soothing irritation and balancing the skin's functions. Its mildness, as well as its proven effectiveness makes it a universal remedy, even in baby care. Blends well with Geranium, Lavender, Rose, Neroli, Marjoram, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Rosewood, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang and others. Chamomile adds a soft, warm note to a blend. This herb has been used for medicinal purposes and skin therapy for ages, particularly in Europe. German/Blue Chamomile and Roman Chamomile have very similar properties, however the German/Blue oil is better for anti-inflammatory applications, because it has a higher content of Azulene.
