Herbal Lift is the latest in the range and harnesses the properties of
herbs to create an uplifting blend of essential oils within the massage
wax. The scent of the blend is intended to clear the mind and stimulate
mental activity - to combat the mental fatigue within the brain. Mental
clarity, alertness and vigour restoration are associated with these
oils.
Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
is a herb found in the Mediterranean and was used for annointing kings
as well as for 'expelling melancholy vapours from the heart'.
Rosemary
(Rosmarinus officinalis) was
well known and revered by the Greeks, Romans and even the Egyptians.
It's was used in hospitals until this century. It is an excellent brain
stimulant and is renowned in folklore to aid the memory. It used to be
inhaled while studying to aid the memory and a sprig was then placed on
the desk during the writing of exams. When the memory failed, a quick
sniff of crushed leaves was supposed to help with the retrieval of what
was learned. This may still have an application today in the Herbal
Lift.
Clary Sage (Salvia
sclarea) brings a relaxing element to the formula, and it is
often used for those suffering from tension. Even though it is a very
relaxing essential oil, it can lead to feeling of lightness and euphoria
- even the name 'Clary' may be a derivation or 'clarus' meaning clear
in Latin.
Palmarosa (Cympobogon
martinii) is derived from a scented grass from the lemon grass
genus and is found in south east Asia and India. It is hydrating and
stimulating in terms of skincare and helps with sebum balance.
Caution and Warnings:
Three of
these essential oils are emmenagogues - they encourage menstruation and
it goes without saying that Herbal Lift should not be used during
pregnancy. (See our section on Pregnancy in the FAQ section).
