You can relax at the end of the day by taking a warm bath and blending a few drops of chamomile, tangerine and bergamot in your bath water. This blend helps bring calm and balance to a long stressful day.
To energize yourself at the start of your day, try washing with peppermint, cedarwood and sage. These oils help awaken your body and your senses.
Essential oils are also great for treating skin conditions such as acne. The correct oils can be anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Using oils such as lavender, blue cypress, patchouli and tea tree oil can help treat acne successfully. Remember to dilute the oil with a carrier oil such as grapeseed oil before applying directly to the skin.
The healing effects of the correct combination of essential oils will help bring emotional and physical well being to your everyday life. Educate yourself to their benefits and enjoy a lifetime of balanced health.
