Sentiō Oil, olfactory support of the scalp and hair through aromatherapy.
Sentiō Oil, by Neil Naturopathic, formulated in collaboration with perfumer Gitane Oils. Sentiō in Latin translates to “perceive through the senses”. Sentiō oil is Neil Naturopathic’s first olfactory support of the scalp and hair through aromatherapy. The oils and their benefits have been used for centuries to bring much needed support in helping to settle the parasympathetic nervous system. Sentiō oil is uplifting, sensual and deeply grounding.
Sentiō oil is not used on the scalp or hair but on the skin, in a diffuser or in the bath. Use 3-6 drops at a time. Use directly on the wrist and heart to encourage nervous system relaxation. Breathe.
Sentiō is formulated using organic fractionated coconut oil as the base carrier oil, and boasts many benefits primarily related to its moisturizing and nourishing properties for the skin and hair. As the base carrier oil it is excellent as it is a ‘dry’ oil that penetrates deeply into the skin without leaving a greasy residue making it ideal for hydrating dry skin. Its neutral scent allows it to blend effectively with various essential oils specifically for aromatherapy. It contains antioxidants and is deeply hydrating.
Organic Vanilla absolute from the dried bean pods of the Bourbon Vanilla planifola, originating from Madagascar. Bourbon Vanilla is a specific term applied to Vanilla planifola plants growing in the Indian Ocean islands, and its fragrance is one of universal appeal for its influence on the emotions: it invites sensuality, relaxes inhibitions, and dissolves anger and frustration. In aromatherapy Vanilla Absolute is revered for its uplifting, de-stressing, anti-depressive and aphrodisiac qualities.
Organic Sandalwood essential oil is sustainably produced from the fragrant heartwood of the Santalum album tree harvested in the plantations of southern India. One of perfumery’s most revered substances, Indian sandalwood is beloved for its sweet, warm, woody and rich aroma and is a world renowned and highly desired ingredient in body and skin care as well as natural perfumes and incense for its incomparable fragrance and deeply calming effects. Emotionally and energetically healing, Indian Sandalwood is widely used to enhance mood, and in meditation for its grounding effects. When diffused it helps in creating a peaceful atmosphere, quieting the mind, and helping to relieve nervous tension.
The Bay Laurel tree (Laurus nobilis) is an evergreen shrub, indigenous to the Mediterranean and Black Sea region widely believed in ancient times to contain magical powers, thus making it capable of warding off evil and disease. A warming and energizing essential oil Bay Laurel leaf is well regarded in aeromatherapy due to its unique molecular structure. This oil is warming, and invites positive thinking, confidence, and helps clear mental confusion. Emotionally and energetically it is both uplifting and grounding, helping to clarify thought and increase focus.
Organic Hay absolute is an extraction of the dried grasses of alpine sweetgrass (Hierochloe alpine) growing wild in the mountainous terrain of France. The fresh grass os cut and harvested in June and July, which then naturally dries in the sun until August. During this process the grass becomes fragrant and its aromatic sweet hay-like aroma is liberated, unavailable until this process takes place. Hay absolute plays an important part in aromatherapy for its uplifting, distressing, anti-depressive and calming properties.
White Lotus absolute is held in high regard in both Hinduism and Buddhism and is often viewed as a symbol of awakening. It is extracted from the majestic white flowers of the Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) aquatic plant we sourced from the muddy marshes of India. White lotus has a rare and captivating fragrance that makes it a beautiful addition to fine natural perfumes and anointing oils. Energetically and emotionally, White lotus is known for its ability to calm and soothe.
White Sage is steam distilled from the intensely aromatic leaves of the Salvia apiana plant we sourced from the Baja region of southwestern California and northern Mexico. White Sage has been used traditionally and spiritually for centuries to make smudge sticks for ceremonial purposes by the Native Americans of that region, because its potent energy relaxes the mind, soothes anxiety and depression, and evokes calmness and composure. It also attracts positive energy and clears negative energy.
All the essential oils in Sentiō are organic, hand mixed, and bottled in small batches in Los Angeles. Ingredients: Fractionated coconut oil (base), Vanilla, Sandalwood, Bay Laurel, Hay, White Lotus, White Sage.
