Research suggests the oils in this blend may help support the body's natural shift toward a parasympathetic "rest and digest" state.

For centuries, sandalwood has been burned as incense for spiritual purposes and used in meditation and prayer, and it is sacred in Hindu and Ayurvedic tradition. Its soft, creamy woodiness comes from santalols, the compounds behind its signature aroma, and in aromatherapy it is traditionally valued for its calming, grounding qualities. In Pause and Exhale, sandalwood forms the warm, steady foundation of the blend, there to invite stillness without heaviness.

Geranium essential oil has been studied for its potential to ease anxiety, and in aromatherapy it is often used to invite a calmer mind. Its rosy, floral aroma is traditionally used to ease stress and tension, and is often described as both uplifting and calming. In Pause and Exhale, Rose Geranium's rosy, floral aroma is there to bring a sense of calm and balance.

Chamomile has long been a beloved herb for comfort and calm, and chamomile tea is a familiar way to unwind. Roman chamomile's essential oil is naturally rich in esters, a group of aromatic compounds that aromatherapists associate with a gentle, calming character. With its sweet, apple-like aroma, Roman chamomile brings a tender, nurturing quality to Pause and Exhale, there to invite a deep, reassuring breath.

Vetiver is steam distilled from the roots of the Vetiveria zizanioides grass. The result is a thick, earthy oil, often called the "oil of tranquillity." It has long been prized in traditional practice for its soothing, grounding qualities and is often chosen when the goal is to unwind and let go of stress. In Pause and Exhale, Vetiver is the deep, earthy root of the blend, there to ground the other oils and help the aroma linger as you slow your breath.
