In this episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, Rachael and Nikki dive into the fascinating world of geranium essential oil, which happens to be Nikki’s second favourite oil.

Nikki shares her personal journey of how she transitioned from disliking geranium to craving it during her last pregnancy. Rachael, on the other hand, remains skeptical about geranium, humorously challenged to use it this week.

As we explore the benefits of geranium, we highlight its chemical constituents, particularly citronellol, which contributes to its anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory properties. We discuss its uses in skincare, women's health, and emotional support, emphasizing its ability to help with anxiety and stress.

In a fun twist, we pull a card from the Oracle of the Essence deck, landing on Juniper Berry, which encourages self-reflection and balance. We wrap up the episode with affirmations that resonate with both the geranium and juniper berry, inviting our listeners to embrace their journeys.

In this episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, Rachael and Nikki dive into the fascinating world of coriander essential oil, known botanically as coriandrum sativum.

We share our personal experiences with essential oils over the past week, including Nikki’s commitment to using patchouli in her bath blend and Rachael's uplifting citrus inhaler to combat the winter blues. As we transition into spring, we reflect on the emotional and physical benefits of coriander, including its ability to aid digestion and promote mental clarity.

Additionally, we explore the spiritual aspects of coriander, noting its connection to the navel and solar plexus chakras, and how it can help release emotional blocks and encourage creativity. We also touch on safety considerations, emphasizing that coriander is generally safe to use unless oxidized.

To wrap up the episode, we pull cards from the Aromatherapy Insight deck, featuring patchouli and myrrh, both of which offer unique benefits and insights. We encourage our listeners to embrace the affirmation: "I release what holds me back, embracing clarity, creativity, and the courage to move forward with ease and balance."
