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.
