Essential Oils for Stress Relief in Australia
Stress is an inevitable part of modern life — but how we respond to it can make all the difference. At Trish n Bobs, a Perth-based essential oil boutique, we believe in the natural power of aromatherapy to support your mental and emotional wellbeing.
Whether you’re facing burnout, feeling overwhelmed, or simply seeking more calm in your day, essential oils offer a simple, effective way to restore balance. Below, we share our top selections for stress relief and how to use them effectively.
1. Lavender Oil — Gentle, Calming, Reliable

How to use:
• Add 5–6 drops to a diffuser 30 minutes before bed
• Blend with a carrier oil for a relaxing massage
• Mix with Epsom salt for a calming bath soak
2. Sweet Orange Oil — Brightens Mood, Lifts Energy
