Linalool is a naturally-occurring component found in a variety of essential oils, like Clary Sage. Some traditional, therapeutic claims of linalool include anti-anxiety, sedative, and anti-inflammatory effects.
For essential oils that contain a significant amount of linalool (above a 40% concentration), choose one of the following: Neroli, Spike Lavender, Bergamot Mint, Rosalina, Thyme, Coriander and Basil.
Linalool naturally occurs in plants and spices as for example jasmine, lavender, rosewood, basil, or thyme.
Lavender essential oil is the most well known, and it is comprised of 25% to 45% linalool (7).
Rosalina, one of my favorite essential oils, is known as “lavender tea tree” because it comes from the Tea Tree genus Melaleucea. It has a high percentage of linalool at 35%-55% (7).
Thyme (chemotype linalool) essential oil is an excellent choice to add to immune supporting blends. It is powerful yet gentle enough for children as well as calming due to the linalool percentage of 73%-79% (7).
Rosewood essential oil is very high in natural linalool at 82%-90% (7).
Linalool also shows up in large amounts in Ho wood, Ho leaf (chemotype linalool), Coriander seed, Neroli, Basil (chemotype linalool), and Spike Lavender essential oils (7).
