Solace in Scent: Essential Oils That Hold Space for Grief & Trauma
Grief and emotional wounds don’t follow a timeline—and sometimes words aren’t enough. That’s why I lovingly created the Grief & Trauma Roller, a blend crafted not just as a product, but as a companion in healing.
Why Aromatherapy Works During Grief
Sense of smell connects directly to the brain’s emotional centers. A gentle inhale of comforting oils can instantly shift your mental state and create a moment of calm amid overwhelm.
Grounding oils provide emotional stability. Scents like sandalwood, patchouli, and cypress help anchor your nervous system when everything feels unsteady.
A balm for the chest and heart. Touch and scent combined—rolling into your chest, wrists, or even soles—can offer subtle but powerful soothing effects.
🍃 What’s Inside the Grief & Trauma Roller (And Why It Matters)
Sandalwood – deeply grounding and stabilizing
Patchouli – brings calm, balance, and quiet ease
Cypress – gently encourages emotional release
Bergamot + Lavender – lighten the heart, soothe the mind
Rose, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Neroli – uplifting, hormone‑balancing, and soothing for anxiety or emotional heaviness
✨ Flower Essences – dewberry, rose, jasmine – bring additional energetic support for forgiveness, trust, and emotional renewal.
✨ Crystal Infusion – quartz, rose quartz, labradorite offer energetic support for deeper reflection and inner healing.
🌿 How to Use It
Gently roll in a triangle from the base of your neck down to your heart.
Add small dots to wrist creases or foot soles (those reflexology points).
Close your eyes, take three slow breaths. Let the oil become a moment of pause and care.
🎁 Why This Blend Is Worth It
Designed specifically for grief and emotional overwhelm
Intentional combination of soothing oils, flower essences, crystals
Compact, easy to use, and artfully made to become part of your healing ritual
Great companion for therapy sessions, journaling, or times of emotional overwhelm

I have that roller and I bought 3 more for friends. One of them, the wife of a patient in four stage of cancer told me how much it helped her when she was in the waiting room while her husband was in surgery. This roller has also saved me from going insane at times. I was lucky to have known Jen and she recommended it for me and it made a huge difference. All who are reading this will benefit from trying it.:)
