Essential Oil Deep Dives

Get to know your essential oils from the inside out.

Find all the 27 different essential oils we’ve covered in the Inner Sanctum Membership.

What’s the difference between an Essential Oil Deep Dive and an Essential Oil Exploration?

When we first began the Inner Sanctum Membership, we were creating two pieces of content to help you learn about the featured essential oil of the month.

Sylla would lead you through an Exploration of the botany, cultivation, production, chemistry, and therapeutics of the featured essential oil.

I, Nyssa, would then lead you through a Meditation based on the essential oil. Then we started to group the Exploration and the Meditation together and call that a “Deep Dive.”

Starting in 2020, I began leading the Deep Dives with a new format that incorporated the Meditation into the Deep Dive itself.

Enough technicalities, let’s dive into learning more about our essential oils!
