Ingredients:
5 drops of Lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
3 drops of Bergamot oil (Citrus bergamia)
2 drops of Roman Chamomile oil (Chamaemelum nobile)
How to use:
Add the essential oil drops to a diffuser filled with the appropriate amount of water (as per the diffuser's instructions). Allow the diffuser to run in a comfortable space, ideally where you spend most of your time, to immerse yourself in the calming aroma.
Ingredients:
4 drops of Bergamot oil (Citrus bergamia)
3 drops of Ylang-Ylang oil (Cananga odorata)
2 drops of Frankincense oil (Boswellia carterii )
How to use:
Fill your bathtub with warm water. In a separate container, mix the essential oils with a carrier oil (like coconut oil or jojoba oil) or unscented bath salts (about 1 cup). Once thoroughly blended, add this mixture to your bathwater. Soak in the tub for 20-30 minutes, allowing the aromatic oils to soothe and uplift your mood.
Ingredients:
4 drops of Cedarwood oil (Cedrus atlantica or Juniperus virginiana)
3 drops of Lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
1 drop of Vetiver oil (Vetiveria zizanioides)
How to use:
Mix the essential oil drops with 30ml (approximately 2 tablespoons) of a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil or grapeseed oil. Once blended, this concoction can be used for a soothing body massage. Focus on areas with muscle tension or where you carry stress, like the neck, shoulders, and soles of the feet. The act of massaging combined with the grounding aroma can be immensely therapeutic.
