Relaxing Aromatherapy Bath
A warm bath infused with essential oils is one of the most effective ways to relieve stress and tension. Essential oils like Roman Chamomile 3% and Sandalwood 3% in Jojoba Oil promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and create a calming atmosphere.
How to Use: Mix 5 - 10 drops of your chosen essential oil with a carrier oil (such as Fractionated Coconut Oil or Sweet Almond Oil) before adding it to warm bathwater. For a luxurious experience, add Epsom salts to soothe sore muscles and detoxify the body.
DIY Skincare for a Natural Glow
Essential oils offer powerful skincare benefits, from hydration to anti-inflammatory properties.
- For radiant skin Add a drop of Frankincense or Rose 3% in Jojoba Oil to your moisturiser to promote cell regeneration and improve skin tone.
- For acne-prone skin Dilute Tea Tree Oil with a carrier oil and apply it to blemishes to reduce inflammation.
- For a natural body oil Mix Ylang Ylang and Jojoba Oil for deep hydration and a beautiful, lingering fragrance.
Deep Sleep and Relaxation
A restful night’s sleep is crucial for overall well-being, and essential oils can help you unwind.
How to Use: Diffuse Cedarwood Virginian Oil or Vetiver Oil in your bedroom before bedtime, or add a few drops to your pillow after diluting it with a carrier oil to encourage deep relaxation.
Hair and Scalp Treatment
Essential oils can nourish the scalp, promote hair growth, and add shine to dull strands.
How to Use: Add a few drops of Rosemary Essential Oil to your shampoo to stimulate hair growth, or mix Peppermint Oil with a carrier oil for a refreshing scalp massage.
