Essential Oil – Tonka Bean

• Anxiolytic Support: Acts as a powerful nerve tonic to reduce anxiety, nervous tension, and restlessness.
• Sedative Effect: Promotes deep, restorative sleep by calming the brain's "fight or flight" response.
• Emotional Regulation: Helps stabilize mood swings and provides a sense of security during emotional upheaval or grief.

Integumentary System (Skin)

• Skin Conditioning: When heavily diluted in a carrier oil, it can help soothe dry or irritated skin.
• Aromatic Fixative: Used in topical applications to hold other therapeutic oils on the skin longer, extending their medicinal reach.

Reproductive System

• Aphrodisiac Properties: Stimulates the senses and helps reduce performance anxiety by promoting a relaxed, euphoric state of mind.
• Tension Relief: May help ease physical tension associated with the reproductive cycle through its relaxing aromatic profile.

Immune System (Indirect)

• Stress Reduction: By lowering cortisol levels through its calming scent, it indirectly supports the body’s natural immune defenses.
• Convalescence: Helps the body recover from illness by encouraging the deep rest necessary for cellular repair.

Musculoskeletal System

• Antispasmodic Support: Occasionally used in massage blends to help ease minor muscle spasms or tension caused by psychological stress.

• A "fixative."
• Because its molecules are heavy and slow to evaporate, it acts as an anchor for a blend.
• It makes citrus notes last longer and takes the "sharp edges" off of aggressive wood or spice oils, making the entire fragrance feel "finished" and round.
