ESSENTIAL OILS + BREATH = INSTANT STRESS RELIEF

Close-up of a relaxed woman with a bottle of scented oilEssential oils when inhaled go directly to your brain’s emotional centre making them particularly useful for emotional support.

In this calmer headspace you will feel more connected to your heart centre and will be able to ground yourself and think more clearly before reacting to situations in your life that may be challenging.

In acute situations where you need instant calm, such as trauma, shock or emotional overload inhale the appropriate essential oil directly from the bottle, or place two drops on a cotton ball, tissue or hanky and take a few slow deep breaths.

Mandarin is an oil of choice for this purpose.  Take a few slow deep breaths and feel the relief.

To create a relaxing atmosphere in your home or work space diffuse essential oil blends in an electric burner or

diffuser. Place up to six drops and enjoy the beautiful aroma.

To be Calm; blend 2 drops Mandarin, 2 drops lavender and 2 drops bergamot

For clear thinking; blend 2 drops lemon, 2 drops of rosemary and 2 drops of peppermint

To nurture your heart space; blend 3 drops of sweet orange, 1 drops lavender, 1 drop of patchouli and 1 drop ylang ylang.

Boost your immune system with essential oils

rosenarylavenderniaouliI’m sure in your experience as a busy mum you know that prevention is better than cure. In a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, it is important to protect vital energy by supporting the immune system.

Support the immune system with energising, refreshing and uplifting essential oil blends with antibacterial and antiviral properties.  A great immune boosting blend to diffuse in the home is 1 drop sweet thyme, 2 drops palmarosa, 2 drops bergamot and 1 drop niaouli.

Diffusing essential oils is much more than just experiencing a pleasant aroma. Diffusing essential oils helps to eliminate airborne microbes, lift your mood, balance your body energetically, all of which contribute to boosting the immune system.

Another simple way to inhale immune boosting essential oils is in an aroma stick. A lovely blend of lavender, niaouli and tea tree is effective. You can also boost the immune system by keeping hands clean and sanitised. For a personal sanitiser try
Lavender and orange natural hand cleanser. 50 mls aloe vera gel 21 drops of lavender and 7 drops of orange.Again the
ease with which these remedies can be incorporated into your everyday regime easily and effectively is a Blessing.

Aromatherapy for Health and Wellbeing

Close-up of a relaxed woman with a bottle of scented oilWhat is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils (aromatic plant extracts) often in massage and vaporisation, in skincare and body care to improve physical, emotional and psychological conditions.
I love it because it is very effective and can be incorporated so easily into your everyday routine, especially through your skin and body care as well as using essential oils to boost your immune system, for muscular aches and pains, in your household cleaning, for stress relief, in room scenting, in the bath, and 101 other uses.

One of the simplest and easiest ways to use essential oils for general health and wellbeing is to vaporise or diffuse them. The safest and most effective vaporisation tool is an electric diffuser. It maintains a regulated heat so that the essential oils keep their therapeutic benefits. It is also a very safe way to diffuse essential oils because there is no naked flame. You simply turn the diffuser on for 15 minutes to warm up and add up to six drops of essential oil. It is a good idea to have some ventilation if you are diffusing oils in a small space and use the 30 minutes on/ 30 minutes off rule.

A great blend for general health and wellbeing, to boost the immune system, relieve cold symptoms, and to use in household cleaning, is a breathe easy blend. Smells lovely and contains lavender, cajeput, lemon and peppermint. This is a purifying blend designed to cleanse the mind body and spirit.

Cajeput and lemon have antimicrobial properties boosting the immune system and combating germs and peppermint is pain relieving and clearing for respiratory and sinus issues.

rejuvenate with Aromatherapy Massage

As a busy health conscious mum you owe it to yourself and your family to regularly take time out for relaxation and stress reduction activities.

I know I don’t have to go over the link between stress and the many inflammatory conditions that impact on our health and wellbeing, but just to remind you of a few, how about high blood pressure, chronic neck, shoulder and back pain, headaches, mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, irritable bowel, asthma, weight gain… The point is, it’s time to make it a priority and give yourself a break.

Aromatherapy massage with essential oils is the most beneficial massage you can have to evoke the relaxation response.

Massage with essential oils can relieve stress, ease muscular aches and pain, improve digestion, improve skin tone and boost the immune system.

What are you waiting for? Give yourself permission to enjoy a regular massage, what can you change/give up so that you can afford it? You really do deserve to feel well and take time out, its not a luxury, its a necessity2_zpsdbf9d056.
