Everyday Aromatherapy

Massage Mag.com's article "Aromatherapy for Self-Care" is a great short article about ways to use aromatherapy to help get you through your day. 

Some of their suggestions:
- Use an aromatherapy mist in the room around you or use an aromatherapy diffuser
-  Put a drop of aromatherapy in your hands, rub them together, and inhale the scent
-  Soak in a bath oil that contains essential oils


Suggested blends:
- Energizing blends during the day: peppermint, spearmint, basil, sage, fennel, eucalyptus, orange, lemon, grapefruit... 
- Relaxing blends at night: lavender, marjoram, cedarwood, ylang ylang, chamomile, mandarin... 

Find more info through Massage Mag.com. While not mentioned in the article, tea tree oil is also a valuable oil to work with and mix with other scents such as lavendar.
