What’s the big stink about?

The fun way to fight stress  

Stressed spelled backward is desserts, but we all know you can’t eat through a tough day. Instead, try diffusing some lavender or chamomile essential oil to create a calming oasis in your home. It’s like a spa day for your nose.   

Nature’s mood booster  

Feeling down in the dumps? Citrus oils like orange and lemon can help lift your spirits and put a smile back on your face. It’s like a little burst of sunshine in a bottle (minus the sunburn).   

Pain relief that doesn’t stink  

Got a headache that just won’t quit? Reach for peppermint or eucalyptus oil for some natural pain relief. Just a few drops diluted in carrier oil and applied to your temples can work wonders. Additionally, According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, tea tree oil can relieve acne, athlete’s foot and insect bites. Who knew pain relief could smell so good?   

Inhale the good vibes, exhale the bad  

Whether you’re looking to relax, rejuvenate or just plain smell good, aromatherapy has something for everyone. So, next time life stinks, reach for your favorite essential oil and let the healing scents do their magic. After all, laughter might be the best medicine, but a little aromatherapy can’t hurt either.   

Smell safe
