Find out below my 3 FAVORITE essential oils and how I use them below:
*Note: Essential oils alone can irritate the skin. They should be diluted with a carrier oil like almond oil.
Lavender Oil
- Great for relaxation
- Can reduce stress hormone levels
- Can reduce acne scars, and soothe psoriasis
- I use these at two times. 1. When I am relaxed like when I am in nature, to increase my association with relaxation and lavender. and 2. When I want to relax or calm down, to cue my memory of relaxation through association as well as through the natural components of the aromatherapy.
Lemon Oil
- Increases alertness and focus
- Can be used to detox the body
- Keeps fleas away on pets
- I use this one when I need to focus on tasks like studying, or focusing on remembering something.
Eucalyptus Oil
- Clears the sinuses
- Boosts your immune system
- Awakens the senses
- I use eucalyptus oil to jolt my senses in the morning, and give an added kick to get my day started!
