Azlok's Anxiety Relief Essential Oil Blend is a ready-to-use aromatherapy mix of lavender, peppermint, ylang ylang and camphor oils, designed to help you feel calmer and more relaxed through inhalation or diluted topical use. It carries a soft floral-and-mint aroma and works best when diffused or applied to the skin after mixing with a carrier oil. Prices start at ₹449.
What is in this blend
This is a blend of four well-known aromatic oils, each bringing its own character:
- Lavender oil — the classic calming note, widely used to unwind before sleep.
- Peppermint oil — a cooling, refreshing lift that clears the head.
- Ylang ylang oil — a rich floral aroma often used to ease tension.
- Camphor oil — a sharp, penetrating note that adds depth to the mix.
The result is a transparent, light-consistency liquid with a floral and mint fragrance. It dissolves in alcohol and some fixed (carrier) oils, which makes it handy for DIY roll-ons, room sprays and massage blends.
How aromatherapy helps you relax
Scent has a direct route to the brain's limbic system, the area linked to emotion and memory. That is why a familiar, pleasant aroma can shift your mood within minutes. Aromatherapy is a supportive, feel-good practice — it can help you slow down and breathe, but it is not a medical treatment. If you deal with ongoing anxiety, please speak to a qualified doctor.
How to use the Anxiety Relief blend
By inhalation
- Diffuser: add 4–6 drops to a water-based diffuser and run it in a well-ventilated room for 20–30 minutes.
- Tissue or steam: put a drop or two on a tissue and inhale gently, or add a couple of drops to a bowl of warm (not boiling) water.
On the skin
- Always dilute first. Mix around 2–3 drops per 10 ml of a carrier oil such as coconut, sweet almond or jojoba.
- Massage lightly onto pulse points — wrists, temples (avoiding the eyes), the back of the neck or shoulders.
- Make a roll-on by combining the diluted blend in a 10 ml bottle for use on the go.
Safety notes worth reading
Essential oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Keep these points in mind:
- Patch-test a small diluted amount on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
- Never apply undiluted to the skin, and avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.
- Do not ingest. This blend is for external and aromatic use only.
- Because it contains camphor and peppermint, avoid use on infants and young children, and keep it away from their reach. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone with epilepsy, asthma or a medical condition, should check with a doctor first.
- Diffuse in a ventilated space and keep pets in mind, as some oils do not suit animals.
