๐ŸŒŸ Therapeutic Profile โ€” Penny Price

Petitgrain is 45โ€“50% linalyl acetate which has been shown to be anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory.

It is one of the top oils used for sudden stress and panic.

This oil is renowned for its uplifting and calming properties, promoting a sense of balance and well-being.

Its fresh, slightly sweet aroma with hints of orange blossom makes it ideal for diffusing in spaces to elevate the mood and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Hexagram 27: Nourishment (้ ค Yi) โ€” Mountain over Thunder

Pay attention to what you nourish โ€” in body, mind, and spirit. Like Petitgrain, Hexagram 27 teaches that true nourishment comes from stillness, balance, and conscious care. The mountain holds steady above the thunder; calm prevails over agitation.
