Mrs N (verified owner) –
This is a beautiful oil. I have not yet used it in any topical application, but I have diffused it along with frankincense and mandarin. I found it calmed me down and simultaneously raised my mood. I am looking forward to trying it out in different combinations with other oils. I can see this will become an oils that I reach for regularly.
Rachel Wild –
I love that you are really enjoying this gorgeously aromatic aromatherapy oil. It is especially popular for diffusing around Christmas and the colder months, in general. I think this is partly due to the fact that it is an affordable oil that makes for an excellent stocking filler for those who are keen to replace the smell of toxic, synthetic vanilla candles, with a deeply healthy alternative, that smells like it’s just come out of the oven, and is made with a rich caramel and subtle cinnamon.
And, whilst it’s enough that this is a complex and soothing aromatic oil, for me to want to diffuse it, the fact that it is also profoundly beneficial in other ways means that it’s really an excellent choice for the winter months.
The list of health benefits for Peru Balsam Essential Oil is truly remarkable.
