The Smell and Taste of Lightness

Smell Peace and Light:

Just like a whiff of sun tan lotion can instantly inspire feelings of relaxing on a beach, certain essential oils can instantly rejuvenate and lift you up. I love this mix: 

  • 10 drops of lavender
  • 5 drops of grapefruit
  • 2 drops of eucalyptus (or peppermint)
  • Mix with an unscented base such as jojoba oil.

Lavender is calming, grapefruit is a mood elevator and stimulates digestion, and eucalyptus is excellent for opening the respiratory system.

Try a few drops on your temples before you go to sleep, use it in the bath, or try it at the office.
