Work

If you are working from home the diffuser is a great way to complement your work routine. However unless everybody at your place of work agrees, it can be beter to use a more individualised method to benefit from your essential oils at work.

A great way is to make your own aromatherapy rollerball. This can be carried in your bag and used whenever needed. Simply apply to pulse points and breathe in the aroma. 

• 10 ml empty glass rollerball
• 10 ml rapeseed carrier oil or a suitable alternative
• Rosemary
• Spearmint
• Frankincense

Home

One of the simplest and most effective ways to use essential oils in aromatherapy is by diffusing them. Just simply add 4-6 drops of you favourite essential oil to the water in your diffuser and sit back and relax. Avoid diffusing continuously and the intermittent diffusion technique with 1 hour diffusing and 1 hour break, will ensure you always get the most out of the essential oils without overloading.

Travelling

Carrying a rollerball filled with your favourite essential oil always comes in handy. Do you get travel sickness? Why not try travelling with peppermint next time!
