Stress Relief and Aromatherapy - Lavender Essential Oils Part 2

Try these suggestions, and feel the tension of the day melt away!

• Before going to bed, draw a warm bath, and put a few drops of lavender in the bathwater.  The steam will disperse the fragrance.
• Drop a small amount on your pillow case, this will relax you, on your way to dreamland.
• Mix a few drops of lavender with epsom salts for a soothing foot bath, (Epsom salts are natural and great for sore muscles.  They can be bought very cheaply). 
• Diffuse the lavender oil in a ceramic burner, or put a few drops on a light bulb oil warmer.
• Disperse some on a bowl of unscented Potpourri and place in your office. 

Of course, with all oils, there are different grades.  Some are stronger than others: NEVER, put a pure oil directly onto the skin, it could result in irritation and even burning.  It should always be diluted with a carrier oil, if used directly on the skin.

For a bath and body treat, enjoy a total sensory experience with Relax Body Oil.  The need to mix with other oils has been completely eliminated.  Lavender is blended with oils of roman and german Chamomile.  You will not only smell wonderful, but feel wonderful, with the luxurious base of coconut, sweet almond, jojoba, wheat germ oil, and vitamin E.  Either pour into running water, or use as a massage oil.

Next week we will be featuring another oil, with ways to easily incorporate use into your everyday life. In the meantime relax and enjoy!

Great Tips! Lavender Essential Oil is no doubt aptly named the "Mother of All Essential Oils"!
would that make it a MOAEO? :)
it's important to make sure it's steam distilled too

Excellent post, I myself stick to nothing but all natural beauty products. I am also very aware of the foods I eat as this is one of the main causes of bad health and most skin and odor issues.
