The Science Behind the Blend
We don’t believe in wellness fluff. Head Space was formulated around pure essential oils backed by peer-reviewed human research—looking specifically at how natural volatile botanical compounds interact with the autonomic nervous system during inhalation. Here is what published clinical literature highlights about the botanical oils in this blend:
Collapsible content
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)
Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) — Autonomic Tension & Cortisol Modulation
Clary sage is uniquely distinguished in clinical trials for its rapid balancing action on the autonomic nervous system. In randomized human clinical evaluations, simple inhalation of clary sage vapor demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in salivary cortisol concentrations alongside a noticeable easing of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Participants across clinical stress trials consistently reported marked reductions in subjective tension, making it an essential botanical anchor for breaking mental strain.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) — The Benchmark in Inhalation Studies
Lavender is among the most rigorously researched botanicals in integrative health. A systematic review evaluating 65 randomized controlled trials found that simple inhalation of lavender aroma reliably supported self-reported stress reduction. Clinical evaluations observing exposure to natural linalool and linalyl acetate note that inhalation correlates with measurable drops in situational anxiety and physiological markers of mental exhaustion.

Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis)
Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) — Nervous System De-escalation
Celebrated for centuries as a calming restorative, Roman chamomile’s aromatic profile is dominated by volatile esters (such as angelates and tiglates). Modern pharmacological evaluations indicate that inhaling these volatile compounds interacts gently with GABAergic pathways in the brain. In clinical evaluations measuring perceived stress, exposure to chamomile vapor has been observed to help soothe acute emotional reactivity and quiet persistent mental chatter.

Bergamot (Citrus bergamia)
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) — Vagal Tone & Salivary Cortisol Reduction
Bergamot is distinct among citrus oils because it provides bright, uplifting top notes without overstimulating the nervous system. In a controlled crossover study examining the physiological effects of bergamot vapor, 15 minutes of inhalation led to a statistically significant decrease in salivary cortisol levels alongside an increase in high-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV)—a primary clinical indicator of parasympathetic (rest-and-reset) activation and relief from mental fatigue.
Study: Watanabe, E., et al. (2015). Effects of bergamot (Citrus bergamia) essential oil aromatherapy on mood states, parasympathetic nervous system activity, and salivary cortisol levels in 41 healthy females. Forschende Komplementärmedizin, 22(1), 43–49.

How to use
-
1. Place
Place Shower Stone on the shower floor - just next to direct water stream.
-
2. Let it go
As the water heats up, the steam activates the stone and releases the blend around you. No timers, no extra steps — just shower like you normally would.
-
3. Turn it up
Want more scent? Rub the stone against the wall or your hands for a bigger burst. A quick circle is all it takes.
Answers about Ruhe Shower Stones™, our natural aromatherapy shower steamers.
How long does one Shower Stone last?
Each stone is good for 1-2 showers, depending on water pressure and heat.
I'm pregnant, can I use this?
Essential oils affect people differently, so if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, we always like to be on the side of caution and recommend checking with your doctor or a qualified aromatherapist before use.
Should I be cautious if I have sensitive skin?
The stone sits on the shower floor, not on your skin — it's the steam and scent that reach you, not direct contact with the product. If you're sensitive to strong fragrances or essential oils generally, you may want to start with a shorter shower or keep the bathroom door open to ease into it.
Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes — nothing in our formulations is tested on animals or made from animal-derived ingredients.
