Instead of assigning a single number to a complex plant extract (see my blog post on Essential Oil “Frequencies” (MHz)), we look at how an oil feels, how it affects the nervous system, and how it has been used traditionally and energetically.
This is where essential oils actually become useful.
🔥 Protection, Boundaries, Strength
Frankincense
- Wise Elder energy. Grounding, perspective, spiritual authority.
Myrrh
- Deep, ancient, inward. Grief work, shadow work, ancestral connection.
Juniper Berry
- Energetic cleanser. Helps cut cords and clear what isn’t yours.
🌿 Calm, Regulation, Emotional Soothing
Lavender
- The classic nervous system reset. Softens everything.
Chamomile
- Inner child work. Eases emotional reactivity and irritability.
Melissa
- Gentle uplift. Helps when things feel heavy but fragile.
💗 Heart, Love, Connection
Rose
- Full heart energy. Vulnerability, compassion, self-worth.
Geranium
- Balances emotional swings. Particularly supportive through hormonal shifts.
🌊 Release, Letting Go
Helichrysum
- For the deeper layers. Emotional processing and stored experiences.
Cypress
- Movement and transition. Supports release and change.
⚡ Focus, Clarity, Mental Energy
Peppermint
- Sharp and activating. Cuts through brain fog.
Basil
- Clear thinking. Decision-making without the spiral.
🌍 Grounding, Stability
Sandalwood
- Stillness. Presence. Pulls you back into your body.
Vetiver
- Deep grounding. Especially when everything feels too much.
🌞 Uplift, Lightness, Expansion
