De-Stress and Embrace the Festive Spirit with a Calm, Cosy Christmas Aromatherapy Blend

Let's create some calm...

The holiday season is well and truly upon us, what better way to enhance the festive feeling than with the warm and comforting embrace of aromatherapy? Let’s explore a beautiful Christmas-inspired aromatherapy recipe featuring Sweet Almond carrier oil, Frankincense, and Sweet Orange essential oils. This blend not only creates a warm and cosy ambience, reminiscent of crackling fireplaces and festive gatherings, it also helps alleviate stress and create a calm, serene atmosphere.  

We like the idea of using this in a roller ball, allowing you to simply roll the formula onto the pulse points on your wrists or behind your ears. Bring your wrists towards your face and inhale deeply to enjoy the full benefits of the essential oil blend. Alternatively, you could use in a diffuser, as a room spray or in a massage oil. 

Instructions:

1.        Begin by selecting a small, dark-coloured glass roller bottle to preserve the potency of the essential oils.

2.        Add 10 ml of your carrier oil to a mixing pot.

3.        Carefully drop in 2 drops of Frankincense essential oil.

4.        Follow up with 1 drop of Sweet Orange essential oil.

5.        Mixed and decant into your roller bottle.

Full Benefits of the Blend:

1.        Frankincense for Grounding and Tranquillity: Frankincense has been treasured for centuries for its grounding properties. During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, its uplifting and calming influence can help alleviate stress and create a serene atmosphere. It promotes the feeling that ‘it will be okay tomorrow’.

2.        Sweet Orange for Uplifting Spirits: Sweet Orange essential oil brings a burst of citrusy goodness, known for its uplifting, soothing and mood-boosting qualities. It adds a touch of joy to the blend, perfect for infusing your space with comfort and positivity.

3.        Carrier Oil for Nourishment: Sweet Almond carrier oil serves as a lovely base, providing nourishment for the skin and allowing the essential oils to be safely applied. Its mild, sweet aroma complements the blend. Jojoba has a mild, nutty aroma and offers similar nourishing benefits as the sweet almond. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals.

Pop the roller in your bag and use it to take a moment whenever you feel like you need a breath!

Whether you're looking to de-stress and unwind after a busy day of festivities or create a warm welcoming atmosphere for guests, this aromatherapy blend is the perfect balance.
