Essential Oil – Yuzu

• Anxiety Reduction: Scientific studies suggest that inhaling Yuzu can significantly lower salivary cortisol levels and reduce heart rate during stressful situations.
• Mood Elevation: Acts as a powerful "sunshine" oil to combat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), lethargy, and mild depressive states.
• Mental Clarity: Helps sharpen focus and "brighten" the mind without the jittery over-stimulation found in some other stimulants.
• Nervous Tension: Traditionally used in Japan (Yuzu-yu baths) to calm the nerves and prepare the body for relaxation during the winter solstice.

Immune & Respiratory System

• Lymphatic Stimulant: Encourages the movement of lymph, helping the body to process and clear cellular waste.
• Seasonal Defense: High in limonene, it supports the immune system's response to environmental threats and seasonal "bugs."
• Respiratory Ease: Helps clear the airways and provides a refreshing sensation during periods of congestion or chest heaviness.

Integumentary System (Skin)

• Antioxidant Support: Helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental pollutants, promoting a youthful glow.
• Skin Brightening: Frequently used in high-end skincare to help even out skin tone and revitalize dull complexions.
• Circulation Booster: When added to body oils, it can help stimulate localized blood flow, giving the skin a healthy "flush."

Digestive System

• Digestive Tonic: Similar to other citrus oils, it can help stimulate the production of digestive juices and ease feelings of "fullness."
• Nausea Relief: A gentle inhalation of Yuzu can help settle a queasy stomach or motion sickness.

Musculoskeletal System

• Muscle Relaxation: When used in a warm bath or massage, it helps soothe sore muscles and eases minor aches related to physical fatigue.
• Circulatory Warmth: Helps "warm up" cold extremities (hands and feet) by encouraging peripheral circulation.
