Aromatherapy Essential Oils
Growing up, I remember that we only use aromatherapy essential oils through potpourri or my mum would dab Eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and put on my air conditioning vents to help me with my allergic rhinitis. At a young age, I acknowledged it's effective but who would've thought it can offer a lot more?
Aside from aromatically, we can also use essential oils topically and this is my personal favourite. Getting a massage with lavender oil guarantees me of a good night sleep. If you have tired, sore feet, I would strongly suggest Rosemary or Lemongrass oil. These oils are best known to work effectively on achy, painful feet and sweaty, swollen cankles.
But the latest trends in essential oil is using it internally. Did you know why we said you can fight flu and cold with essential oil? It is because some essential oils are amongst the most powerful antimicrobials known today. The important thing to remember is that you don't have to wait to be sick before you use them. These oils have other benefits that we can take advantage of, like using this germ-fighting spray.
• 2-ounce glass bottle with a spritzer
• 1 ¾ oz ounces of distilled water
• 10-30 drops of various essential oils ( I use less when I use intense aromas)

• Spice oils are by nature strong so consider mixing them up with other oils.
• Before diluting or mixing the oil, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Not all oils mix well together.
• Lastly, sun and oil don't go well together.
