Sacral · Swadhisthana · 417 Hz

Let the warmth in. Lighten the mood.

The sunniest oil in our range — bright, sweet, immediately recognisable. Cold-pressed from the fresh peel of Citrus sinensis grown in the orchards of Spain, Brazil, and Italy, captured at the peak of ripeness. Sacral chakra at 417 Hz — the seat of creativity, joy, and warm play. Diffuse five drops on a grey afternoon, and the room shifts.
