Roller Blend for Anxiety Relief with Sweet Orange

Sometimes, all it takes is a few drops to remind your body and mind to pause, breathe, and soften. This Sweet Orange Anxiety Relief Roller blends bright, uplifting citrus with calming lavender and grounding frankincense—a trio designed to support your emotions and your nervous system.

Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) shines with its sunny, d-limonene rich aroma, gently nudging your brain’s serotonin and dopamine pathways toward calm and joy (Song et al. 2021). Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) whispers a quieting lullaby to your overactive thoughts through GABA pathways, helping anxiety melt away (Woelk & Schläfke, 2010). Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) grounds and soothes, calming the limbic system while supporting the body’s stress response (Ikei, Song & Miyazaki, 2016).

Together, these oils create a synergy of mind and body balance: citrus brightness, floral calm, and resinous depth. Roll onto your wrists, heart center, or neck. Inhale. Feel tension ease in your shoulders, jaw, and belly.
