Hi ambanecat29,

Depending on where the emotions stem from would play a huge role in my choice of oils. Below is a list of possibilities:


envy, disappointment, annoyance/Irritation

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is uplifting for the spirits
Mimosa (Acacia dealbata) - oversensitivity and burnout
Angelica (Angelica archangelica) - anxiety and nervous tension
Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) - relaxing, calming
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) - balancing on the emotions
Neroli (Citrus aurantium) - shock, stress, anxiety, depression
Citrus - orange, petigrain, lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, mandarin - all a good for lifting the spirits, anxiety.
Palmarosa - (Cymbopogom martini) - irritability, stress, nervous exhaustion
Carnation - (Dianthus caryophyllus) - anxiety, stress, burnout, fear, depression.
Cardamon - (Elettaria cardamomum) - fatigue, nervous strain.
Galbanum - (Ferula galbaniflua) - calming, balancing, tension, mood swings.
Immortelle - (Helichrysum angustifolium) - depression, debility, exhaustion, stress.
Ambrette - (Hibiscus abelmoschus) - anxiety, depression, tension, stress.
Hyacinth - (Hyachinthus orientalis) - burnout, stress, withdrawal.
Jasmine - (Jasminim grandiflorum) - fear, depression, pessimism, heartache.
May Chang - (Litsea cubeba) - depression, fatigue, anxiety, lethargy.
Spikenard - (Nardostachys jatamansi) - stress, balances, calming, tension.
Geranium/Rose Geranium - (Pelargonium graveolens) - stress, uplifting, tension, balancing.
Patchouli - (Pogostemon cablin) - exhaustion, lethargy, stress.
Rose - (Rosa damascena/centifolia) - depression, stress, sadness, melancholy, disappointment, nervous tension.
Clary Sage - (Salvia sclarea) - depression, nervous tension, fatigue, stress.

Valerian - (Valeriana officinalis) - nervous tension, stress, panic, agitation, restlessness.
Vetivert - (Vetiveria zizanoides) - depression, tension, exhaustion, balances.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is uplifting for the spirits.
Violet Leaf - (Viola odorata) - tension, exhaustion, stress.
Ginger - (Zingiber officinalis) - debility, tension, stress, grounding.

how would you go about encouraging delight hope?
By mixing any combination of the above oils. Treating for anxiety has a by product of lifting and calming.

Envy, disappointment, annoyance and irritation can be caused by lack of joy, self esteem, fear etc.

All of the above information can be found in the following book

Asia-Pacific Aromatherapy Essential Oil Pharmacy

which can be purchased from Alan Howell (who wrote most of it) http://www.shechina.co.uk/page27.html

It's listing of 77 Essential Oils and 10 base oils and 6 macerated oils. I love mine.

Cheers, Sue
