Emotional Balance
The scent of Tonka Bean is warm and summery and can be used to create an atmosphere that helps to lift the heart and nurture calmness.
Sensuous Massage

Emotional Lift
Tonka Bean brings its special lightness and calm to blending. With Lavender or Clary Sage the effect is healing and gentle. With Vanilla and Geranium it leans towards euphoric, an excellent tonic for mood swings and sadness. Try making a body oil blending 2 drops each of Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Geranium, Clary Sage and Lavender in 10ml of Absolute Massage Oil. Use as a massage treatment over three days to kick start a fresh energy dynamic in your life.
