21 Ways to Add Essential Oils to Daily Life
- Carry a rollerball blend in your purse to refresh and restore your mood and energy any time you need it.
- Carry a small oil in your yoga or gym bag and dab on your palms, rub together and inhale deeply before beginning your workout.
- When traveling, have a floral water face mist ready to wake up tired skin and energy.
- Massage your hands, ears and feet each morning with massage oils or essential oil creams to stimulate the lymphatic system and internal organs.
- At bedtime, dab Slumber aromatherapy blend (roller ball) under your eyes and nose, and massage into the backs of your hands, to help lull you into sleep peacefully.
- Enhance cuddle time with your canine or feline friend by rubbing 2 drops of a floral or citrus oil between your palms and then pet him/her for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy lowered blood pressure and a tremendous sense of wellbeing from this bonding time.
- Shake some dry shampoo into your dog brush and slowly brush her coat until distributed. My dog loves this ritual, and I adore the fragrant geranium rose both during and after each session.
- Before sitting for meditation, dab a drop under your nose to inhale during meditation. Peace, Serenity, or any wood oil are great for this.
- Add a few drops to a diffuser and place in bathrooms, bedrooms, and entranceways. Try lemon myrtle for a light, uplifting scent or black spruce for a grounding, peaceful ambiance.
- Do yoga near a diffuser, breathing deeply. Chakra blends are a beautiful way to focus on a chakra energy center at the same time.
- Hang a car diffuser clip in your car to distribute essential oils while on the go.
- Drop 5-6 drops into salt or a carrier oil and add to the bath.
- Mist your pillow before napping or sleeping.
- Before stepping into your shower, drop several drops of a blend into to the water. Breathe in deeply to inhale the healing benefits – Immunity, Fortify and Headache Remedy are some of my favorites for this.
- On a cold day, add several drops of oil to a log before lighting the fire.
- When congested, add 2 drops of eucalyptus or rosemary oil to steaming water. Cover your head with a towel and breathe in the steam for 2-3 minutes.
- Drop a couple drops into candles before lighting.
- Add a drop or two to Neti pot salts, shake allow to sit overnight and infuse. Use salts as normal. I particularly like sweet marjoram and rosemary to keep my sinuses clean and clear.
- Wear an essential oil diffuser necklace or bracelet for instant access to aromatherapy anytime.
- Drop your favorite oil(s) into an inhaler and carry in your purse.
- After doing dishes, drop many drops of a citrus oil (sweet orange, key lime and lemon are all divine!) into the sink to leave the entire kitchen (and your mood!) bright and fresh.
