Essential oils can help us look after our health, or they can be integrated into our cosmetics to add a pleasant smell, or the specific beneficial properties of the chosen oil. However, they also have an effect on our mood, and certain scents can play a significant role in how we feel. We have already shared a mixture to pop in your diffuser to help you fight against stress. Today, we are going to explain how to make a special mood-boosting spray.
The essential oils used in this mixture are only a few examples among many possible options. For your spray, you can use any of the following mood-boosting essential oils:
- Bergamot: a floral, citrus fragrance that is comforting and calming for stressful situations
- Wild orange: its perfume is revitalising for the body and mind. Those who are seeking pure air and energy are sure to love it
- Frankincense: a warm, spicy scent which is relaxing and soothing
- Peppermint: stimulates the senses
- Lemon: provides energy to a burdened mind
- Lavender: relaxes and moderates negative feelings
What you need:
- A 120 ml glass jar (blue, coloured or brown if possible, so as to better protect the mixture)
- 45 ml distilled water
- 45 ml witch hazel (this emulsifier will help the water and the oils to mix better)
- 30 drops of the essential oils of your choice. For example, 15 drops of lemon and 15 drops of lavender
Method:
1) Simply mix all of the ingredients together!
2) Prior to each usage, shake the flask well.
3) Spray it in a room or on to furniture (couches, armchairs, desk chair, curtains, etc.). You can even spray some on your clothes if you would like to inhale the fragrance all day long!
