TIPS FOR USING ESSENTIAL OILS FOR MENTAL HEALTH:

  1. Diffusion:
    • Use an essential oil diffuser to fill your space with calming or uplifting aromas. This is ideal for creating a relaxing environment at home or work.
  2. Topical Application:
    • Dilute essential oils with a carrier oil and apply to pulse points, neck, or the soles of your feet. Always perform a patch test first.
  3. Baths:
    • Add a few drops of essential oil to a bath mixed with a carrier oil or bath salts for a soothing experience.
  4. Inhalation:
    • Simply inhale the aroma from an essential oil bottle or a cotton ball with a few drops of essential oil.
  5. Personalized Blends:
    • We create blends tailored to your needs. For instance, a combination of lavender and chamomile can be very calming, while peppermint and rosemary can be invigorating.

Always ensure that you are using high-quality, pure essential oils and consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific mental health concerns or conditions.
