Have you ever smelt a perfume that made you feel ill ?

For every smell that makes you feel ill there is one that will have a polar opposite effect on you and could make you fee a whole array of different feelings from happy, to energized, to calming, even confidant!

I have put together a list of some essential oils that will help elevate your mood and restore emotional balance to your life.

I find the best way to apply essential oils like lavender I put some drops in a small spray canister with water and spray it on linen.

Also I like to add a few drops to a hot bath and breath in the aromas, this is especially good for my young boys when they are excited and I’d like to calm them before bed. (make sure they don’t drink the water and please make sure to check the potency of the oil you are using most are highly concentrated)

Also burners and vaporizers are a great way to fill the house with a beautiful smell and relax other family members that are under stress.
