ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS
I use one of those little oil burners (you know, the things with a cup
containing water and essential oils heated gently over a candle), and here are
some of my favorite blends for creating different moods and effects. Please use only true essential oils, they smell so much better and have true therapeutic effects. Also, the fakes usually smell awful and leave nasty lingering scents in your burner.
Mind and Air Freshener: 2 drops Rosemary, 2 drops Cedarwood, 2 drops Lemon. Creates a nice fresh scent that gets rid of odors and is quite masculine.
Another Mind Refresher: 2 drops Rosemary, 2 drops Juniper, 1 drop Lemon. Like deep breaths of fresh air.
Cheer-up Oil: 2 drops Geranium, 3 drops Bergamot. This is a flowery, cheering
blend to balance the emotions. If you don't mind using expensive oils you can
add 2 drops Rose.
Headache Remover: 3 drops Lavender, 3 drops Marjoram.
Sleep Oil: 1 drop Lavender, 1 drop Marjoram, 1 drop Sandalwood, 2 drops Clary Sage. A lot of people find this scent mildly unpleasant, so you could add
something like neroli or chamomile to sweeten it. I like it, but then I really
like clary sage oil.
Expensive Sleep Oil: 2 drops Chamomile, 2 drops Rose, 1 drop Marjoram.
Romantic Blend: 2 drops Grapefruit, 2 drops Rose Geranium, 2 drops Patchouli, 1 drop Lavender. This is a very musky, heavy floral blend.
Antibacterial Blend: Equal amounts Lemon and Tea Tree. I use this in an oil
burner and also add some to water for an air spray. It smells fresh and pleasant as well as fighting nasties in the air, and has good room deodorizing qualities as well.
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd druther not. ~Mark Twain
Our metabolism naturally starts to slow down about 8 hours after we wake up. Thirty minutes of aerobic exercises in the evening, before dinner, will not only burn off stored fat but it increases your metabolism for about two to three more hours just when it was starting to slow down. This produces a significant increase in fat burned off, even after the exercise is over.
