Oils To Lift Your Mood
If you are feeling down at going back to work, now that the holidays are over, why not try aromatherapy to lift your mood. Each of the oils below can really help to give you that feeling of happiness and rejuvanation that you are looking for…
Rose Oil:
The properties of this oil have an uplifting effect on your mood and can be used in face and body massage, skin care, baths, or vaporiser to stimulate happy hormones within us.
Lavender:
The balancing properties of lavender can bring back balance and stability to your life. Its calming effect will induce a restful sleep. Try 1 drop of lavender oil on your pillow or a few drops mixed with a very small amount of vodka then swirled into the water of an evening bath (please limit the amount you use as this oil is very potent)
Neroli (oil of the orange blossom):
Neroli is one of the most wonderful essential oils to relax and soothe the troubled or stressed mind, as it has a very positive calming influence on mind, body and spirit.
Or you could have Alison at Shamanic Spirit, make you a special blend of massage oil, body lotion or bubble bath personally tailored to your requirements.
NB: Please note that if you are using a diffuser or an oil burner, do not put more than two drops of oil in at a time. It is very important that essential oils do not make direct contact with the skin and are not over used as this can have a detrimental effect instead of a beneficial one.
