The essential oils set you need to get your hands on

Last Updated: 01/18/2024

The essentials oil set you didn’t know you needed, until now 

As the demand for natural and plant-based products continues to grow in the wellness industry, consumers are looking to brands to differentiate their products, and what makes them unique. The Pocket Farmacy has a storied history at Saje, which has been in business since being founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1992. Comprised of our top 5 remedies to support relief from varying ailments, the Pocket Farmacy remains our flagship product, and an introduction to who we are & what we do best; connect people with the healing power of plants.

Each of the 5 remedies included in the Pocket Farmacy have been licensed through Health Canada as Natural Health Products (NHP), which have then been designated a Natural Product Number (NPN). This number lets you know that the product information has been reviewed by Health Canada and enables the sale and promotion of the product as a Natural Health Product in Canada.

Our most loved essential oils set to address headaches, symptoms of cough & cold, digestive issues, stress and pain

The Pocket Farmacy is our best selling essential oils set, and we believe it to not only support relieving everything from headaches to bodily aches and pains, but to be supportive of our overarching vision at Saje to provide Global Wellness. Right down to the materials themselves, this essential oils set is crafted from RPET fabric, widely recognized as one of the most effective re-uses of plastic. 

PEPPERMINT HALO - OUR #1 SELLING PRODUCT TO EASE HEADACHES FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS

Peppermint Halo is licensed in Canada as a headache remedy, and was the very first product ever formulated at Saje. This is a powerhouse fan favorite because of the warming and cooling essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus and rosemary that have been formulated to help reduce tension and pain associated with headaches. Peppermint Halo is blended at full strength, and is designed to be applied along the hairline and temples, creating a ‘halo’ effect of relief around the head. We also suggest applying to the back of the neck and over the trapezius muscles to experience further cooling and tension-reducing effects. 

IMMUNE - OUR HERO PRODUCT FOR RELIEVING SYMPTOMS OF THE COMMON COLD

Immune is a fortifying and restorative blend of essentials oil like tea tree, eucalyptus and pine, formulated to help relieve symptoms you experience related to the common cold, like coughing, sore throat or stuffiness. Eucalyptus is well known in aromatherapy as ‘the breathing oil’, touted for its camphorous properties that encourage you to take deep, cleansing breaths. This blend helps soothe the respiratory tract and supports your overall wellness through its opening and clearing properties. Immune can be rolled onto the throat and chest, or under the nose and across the sinuses for added relief. 

EATER'S DIGEST - OUR RELIEVING AND COMFORTING REMEDY TO SUPPORT DIGESTION

Just as the name implies, Eater’s Digest was formulated to support digestive related issues like upset stomach, heartburn, acid reflux or nausea. The key ingredient in the blend is sweet fennel, which is most commonly referred to as “smelling like licorice”. (Though similar in aromatic profile to licorice, the two herbs come from different plant families). Other ingredients known to help support relieving stomach upset include peppermint and roman chamomile, both made popular by their use in herbal tea formulas also known to soothe the tummy. By soothing the effects of stomach discomfort and supporting healthy digestive function, Eater’s Digest is a small but mighty part of this essential oils set. Roll directly onto the tummy and massage in a clockwise direction for feelings of relief. 

STRESS RELEASE - OUR NURTURING AND COMFORTING REMEDY TO INDUCE TRANQUILITY & RELAXATION 

Stress Release is a grounding and centering blend of essential oils that are known to support bringing your body into harmony. Perhaps the most well-known of all essential oils, lavender is the star of the show in this tension reducing blend that also includes clary sage and geranium. Lavender is well regarded for its ability to induce feelings of peacefulness and calm, and this formula is effective at helping to relieve feelings of mild anxiety such as restlessness and nervousness, as well as helping to restore feeling balanced. Roll onto areas of the body such as temples, wrists and other pulse points, as well as behind the ears or across the forehead whenever you need a mindfulness moment.

PAIN RELEASE - OUR ORIGINAL FORMULA TO EASE SORENESS, TENSION AND STIFFNESS

Much like another longtime favorite in the collection, Peppermint Halo, Pain Release is one of the original formulations created at Saje way back in the 1990’s, and its analgesic (numbing) and pain relieving effects have stood the test of time. Formulated with essential oils known to warm and comfort the body, like marjoram, rosemary and cajeput, Pain Release is designed to help relieve muscular aches, tenseness and stiffness, as it can appear in the muscles and tissues. Roll on to areas of the body that you are experiencing soreness or swelling, like the knees or ankles, as well as areas of the body you wish to reduce tension, like the back of your neck or shoulders.
