An Aromatic Moment for Yourself
25.08.2016
Essential oils for a pleasant atmosphere, relaxing rituals and a little time for yourself
Busy days often leave little room for quiet moments.
Essential oils can be a lovely part of a personal ritual through diffusion, bathing or massage. However, aromatherapy should be presented as a sensory and wellbeing ritual, not as a treatment for stress, anxiety, depression or other mental-health conditions.
Three aromatic ideas
Evening Calm – diffuser blend
- 3 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 drop sweet orange essential oil
- 1 drop cedarwood essential oil
Fresh Start – diffuser blend
- 2 drops lemon essential oil
- 2 drops rosemary essential oil
- 1 drop lavender essential oil
Gentle Massage Oil – 100 g
- 98 g almond or jojoba oil
- 1 g lavender essential oil
- 0.5 g sweet orange essential oil
- 0.5 g geranium essential oil
Total: 100 g
Method
Combine the carrier oil and essential oils in a clean, dry bottle.
Mix thoroughly and store away from heat and direct light.
Use
Massage a small amount into body skin as desired.
Avoid the eye area, mucous membranes and damaged skin.
