Courage

Lack of courage prevents the determination to make a change, cope with changes, move forward. When inhaled, essential oils act on the olfactory nerve, which sends signals to the center of emotions, which responds by releasing hormones. These then create a positive emotional effect on us. For example, laurel is historically associated with victory, so its fresh camphor scent strengthens self-confidence and gives courage. The scent of cedar and cypress essential oils relieves fears and supports the determination to make a change. The aroma of juniper oil helps to release the feeling of "clamping".
