The Benefits Of White Tea Essential Oil & 3 Savory Scents

Airscent Diffusers • Dec 06, 2021

The clean, woody fragrance of white tea essential oil is sought after all over the world.

It is renown for its soothing, mellow and relaxing properties, which is why it is so coveted in the practice of aromatherapy.


Its moniker derives from a silvery substance that coats the leaves and unopened buds of the camellia sinensis plant, which is only harvested for a few weeks each spring (mid March to early April) and only on those days that are not humid or rainy.


White tea can only live up to its name if it comes from China’s Fujian province.


A Short History Of White Tea


White Tea has a rich and colorful history. Its earliest forms appeared during the age of China’s imperial dynasties (600 to 1300 AD).


Tea drinking and tea culture flourished during this era, and citizens became accustomed to paying an annual tribute to the Emperors in the form of the rarest and finest teas grown across the land.

This behest was made by extracting the youngest and most delicate buds from the finest tea plants.


Secret gardens thrived in which the rare and worthy teas were lovingly cultivated to become imperial favorites.

 

There were served to royalty by virgins wearing white gloves as a symbol of honor and respect. Poets of the day extolled these teas, referring to them as being “white like the clouds, green like a dream, pure like snow, and as aromatic as an orchid.”


It wasn’t until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), that the royal court ruled that only loose leaf white tea could be served as a tribute to the emperor.


This altered understanding of white tea processing and its preparation forever.


The white tea that we know today is made with minimal processing and is known as a “raw” tea.


It is believed to contain higher amounts of beneficial properties than either black or green teas. Uplifting and ethereal, white tea essential oil has a fragrance that is sought after by both men and women and it can be worn day or night.

Benefits of White Tea essential oil

The Development Of Aromatherapy


Aromatherapy dates back to the herbal practices of the ancient world and the early civilizations of China, Egypt, Rome and Greece.


The application of essential oils to cosmetics, perfumes, salves, and ointments foreshadowed the practice of aromatherapy, but the pseudoscience that we know today actually only developed over the course of the past hundred years.


It all began when a French chemist and perfumer, René Gattefossé, burned his hands in a lab accident and rinsed the burns with lavender essence, whereupon healing began the next day.

In 1937, he published his classic work, Aromatherapie, coining that word. It cemented its reputation as “the healing art” in the 1960s with the introduction of Swedish massage.

Benefits of White Tea Essential Oils In Aromatherapy


The practice of using these precious oils for therapeutic benefits dates back thousands of years.


The Chinese utilized white tea as the principal ingredient in an elixir that was believed to promote health and vitality.


When inhaled, the scent molecules in the essential oils flow from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain, and impact specifically its emotional core (the limbic system).


White tea essential oils are beloved and particularly popular in the practice of aromatherapy because their clean, woody scents have the ability to promote both a general sense of wellbeing and to soothe and alleviate symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, depression, asthma and colds.


White tea essential oil is often used in aromatherapy practices, but it is important to remember the words of Donna Newton, a behavioral health therapist at Mirmont Treatment Center, part of Main Line Health in Exton, PA:


“Not all essential oils are created equal, and buying the right product will make a world of difference when using them to help… It is very, very important to educate yourself on how to use essential oils.“


White tea essential oil is known to provide help with the following conditions:


White Tea Can Relieve Stress And Anxiety


According to Donna Newton, stress and anxiety affect both heart and respiratory rates which result in shallow breathing, a quicker pulse and a rush of adrenaline. 


Certain essential oils have the ability to curtail or even prevent these responses.


White Tea Essential Oil Can Enhance Life Energy


Chakras are energy centers in the body that are associated with certain psycho-emotional functions.


The word derives from the Sanskrit and means “disk” or “wheel.” Each of these hubs correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs in the body.


Open chakras translates into the smooth flow of energy and white tea essential oil helps to recalibrate these centers.


White Tea Can Rejuvenate The Skin


White Tea essential oil is known to reduce the bacteria that gets lodged on the skin.


It can be used as a spot treatment, but when it is applied all over the face, it soothes the inflammation and redness that is often caused by acne.


Just mix two drops of the oil in a glass of water and apply to the skin with a cotton ball. No essential oil should ever be applied directly to the face without first diluting with water.


White Tea Improves Quality Of Sleep


Due to the fact that the application of white tea essential oil allows for calming and soothing the ambient atmosphere, its properties make it easier to enter a meditative state, encouraging sound sleep patterns.


A Few Relevant Studies About White Tea Essential Oil


Although more research is needed to verify the extent to which white tea essential oil affects human health, its salubrious aspects as an essential oil in perfume are well known and include mood enhancement and stress reduction.


Our sense of smell plays an important role in the physiological effects of mood, stress, and working capacity.


Electrophysiological studies have indicated that various fragrances had visible effects on spontaneous brain activities and cognitive functions, which were measured by an electroencephalograph (EEG).


Over the course of the last twenty years, numerous scientific studies investigated the effect of the inhalation of aroma on human brain functions.


Results suggested that scents played a significant role in olfactory stimulation by altering cognition, mood, and social behavior.
