Our theme this month is relaxation and taking care of yourself. So go on, set aside half an hour a day to indulge your favorite pastime...maybe it's curling up on the sofa with a good book or simply sitting back and listening to your favorite music. Whatever your pleasure, you can add to the sensation by scenting the air with the exquisite fragrances of essential oils. Here are some of our top relaxing oils for you to try out...

Frankincense

Despite its desert habitat, the magical frankincense tree produces abundant leaves and flowers and its exquisite essential oil has a mysterious, haunting quality. A truly harmonizing scent, frankincense deepens and slows the breathing, while calming the mind and emotions in readiness for relaxation. Sprinkle 3 drops in an essential oil burner, sit back and enjoy!

Lavender

Native to Persia and the sun-drenched slopes of the Mediterranean mountainsides, lavender was brought to the rest of Europe by the ancient Romans who planted it along their routes of conquest. Known for its ability to soothe and stabilize emotions, lavender essential oil is ideal for reducing stress and easing agitation. Sprinkle 4 drops in an essential oil burner and feel its relaxing effects take hold!
