From the book The Art of Blending by Debra Raybern:
What does it mean when an essential oil is an adaptogen?
When an essential oil is categorised as an adaptogen, it means that it can increase the person’s resilience and resistance to stress and enabling the body to avoid burn out.
Adaptogenic essential oils aid the body in maintaining homeostasis (balance / wellness) throughout stressful periods.

- Bergamot
- Cedarwood
- Geranium
