Essential Oils Help Enhance Mood and Mind
Essential oils enhance moods and lighten the spirit. Essential oils are steam distilled from roots, wood, resins, berries, flowers or leaves. As essential oils are readily absorbed into the bloodstream, they have a direct effect on the brain. The aromatic essential oil molecules also interact with the body's chemistry, making them effective in healing the body and uplifting the spirits.
Instructions
1. Use chamomile, jasmine, marjoram, palma rosa, rose, rosemary or ylang-ylang essential oils to ease anger.
Put 30 to 40 drops of the chosen essential oil into 4 ounces of distilled water.
Add to spray bottle and shake well.
Use as an all-over body spritzer.
2. Mix 30 drops melissa, 30 drops lemongrass, 30 drops ylang-ylang, 20 drops benzoin, 20 drops clove and 20 drops cumin essential oil into 4 fluid ounces (120 ml) of distilled water to elevate your mood.
Put the essential oils into a spray bottle.
Shake well, spray over your head about 10 times. With every 2 or 3 sprays, stop and inhale deeply. Be sure to close your eyes to avoid any eye irritation while spraying.
3. Combine 2 drops jasmine, 2 drops rose and 5 drops frankincense essential oils with 1/2 tablespoon (71/2 ml) jojoba oil to counteract emotional insecurity, selfish behavior, aggression, depression and fear.
Pour into a dark bottle.
Shake well, apply a few drops of the mixed essential oils to the base of the spine.
4. Make a sensuous perfumed body oil using 20 drops cinnamon, 40 drops myrrh, 60 drops patchouli, 40 drops clove, 5 ml (1 teaspoon) bois de rose, 40 drops rose essential oils mixed with 60 ml (2 ounces) carrier oil such as jojoba or grapeseed oil.
Blend the essential oils with the carrier oil in a 120 ml (4 ounce) dark glass bottle.
Shake to mix the oils.
Put a few drops of the combined oils on the torso, lower back or inner thigh area. Do not use the oil on the genital area or around the eyes because the cinnamon essential oil is irritating to mucous membranes and delicate skin.
