Essential Oil – Lemon Verbena

• A radiant, sweet, and lemony-floral aroma.
• It is often described as the most "lemon-like" of all plants, but with a creamy, fruity nuance that resembles a lemon tart or a high-end lemon candy.
• It features a soft, herbaceous-green heart and a gentle honeyed dry-down.
• It lacks the harsh, "cleanser-like" bite of other citrus oils, smelling instead light, airy, and expensive.

• Anxiety & Panic Relief: One of the most effective oils for sedating the nervous system; it helps slow down heart palpitations and eases the "tight" feeling in the chest caused by panic.
• Depression & Apathy: Helps to "lighten" the spirit and is frequently used to combat the "winter blues" or seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
• Stress-Related Insomnia: Promotes a deep sense of peace, making it easier to fall asleep when the mind is racing with worries.
• Mental Focus: Unlike some sedatives that cause drowsiness, Lemon Verbena helps stabilize emotions while maintaining cognitive clarity and confidence.

Digestive Health

• Antispasmodic for the Gut: Highly effective when diluted and massaged onto the abdomen to relieve stomach cramps, indigestion, and bloating.
• Nervous Stomach: Specifically targets digestive issues triggered by emotional stress or "butterflies" in the stomach.
• Liver & Gallbladder Support: Traditionally used to help stimulate the liver and gallbladder, aiding in the processing of fats.

Physical & Immune Support

• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Helps reduce inflammation in the joints and muscles, making it a luxurious addition to massage blends for chronic aches.
• Fever Reducer: Often used in cool compresses to help the body gently lower a high temperature during a cold or flu.
• Immune Stimulant: Bolsters the body's natural defenses, particularly when the system is run down due to long-term fatigue.

Skincare & Aesthetics

• Skin Toning: Its astringent properties help firm the skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness or sagging.
• Softening the Complexion: At very low dilutions, it is used to soften the skin and give it a healthy, radiant glow.
• Natural Deodorizer: Its fresh, sophisticated scent makes it a top choice for high-quality natural perfumes and luxury body oils from clubarome.com.

• Lemon Verbena is a "noble" oil.
• It is expensive and delicate, so it should be paired with oils that highlight its sophisticated sweetness rather than overpowering it

• High Phototoxicity.
• Lemon Verbena contains significant amounts of citral, which can be a skin sensitizer.
• It is also phototoxic; you must avoid sunlight for 12–24 hours after topical application.
• It should always be used in very low dilutions (0.5% to 1%) to avoid skin irritation.
