How essential oils can change your life
Do you know the feeling of coming home from work exhausted, only for a list of tasks to start running through your mind the moment you walk through the door? Sound familiar? I know the feeling too, but there’s a simple way to unwind. A few drops of the right essential oil can help you relax, reset, and enjoy a moment of calm.
Just a moment of rest
How many times have you told yourself that you will think more about yourself and give yourself a moment of peace, that stress and obligations are too much. Probably too many times, right? But it is not always easy to find the time. And it is at this moment that aromatherapy comes to the rescue to support our self-care.
Shut the world off for a moment. Let essential oils and aromatherapy take over—and most importantly, give some space to yourself.
What is hygge?
Although the Nordics are surrounded by more cold, darkness and adverse weather, the Danes are considered one of the happiest nations in the world. Why?
Hygge styl – a relaxed, warm atmosphere comes from Denmark. It is about creating the most pleasant environment for a moment of relaxation and experiencing the magic of the present moment. And in practice, this means calming all our senses and using, for example:
- dimmed lights in the room,
- aroma lamps, candles, essential oils,
- soft pillows, blankets,
- enjoying good food, reading a book or calling a friend.
Hygge stops time. It will calm you down and reminds you that slow living is a healthy way to relax for both body and mind. Aromatherapy is related to hygge and helps anyone who wants to switch off for a while.
What can the healing power of scents do?
Aromatherapy – it’s not just pretty scents, it’s an enriching healing process. It can effectively affect the senses and create real psychological well-being and physical relaxation. Essential oils are most often used. As the concentrated power of pure nature, oils have the best way to use and effects.
Essential aroma oils help:
- remove long-term stress and sudden anxiety,
- with insomnia and induce restful sleep,
- strengthen concentration,
- replenish missing energy,
- support immunity and breathing.
4 tips on how to include oils in everyday life
1) Home SPA ritual in the bathroom
Get into a bath full of warm water, add a few drops of essential oil. Then breathe slowly and deeply and relax. You can also drip 1-2 drops of oil onto the walls of the shower or onto a loofah or washcloth. In any case, be careful, it can be slippery.
2) Home scent
- Diffuser, ceramic aroma lamp – With a diffuser or ceramic aroma lamp, essential oils can gently fill your space—so you can enjoy every breath while practising yoga, cooking, or working.
- You can get an air freshener in a spray by mixing a few drops of oil with water.
- A textile pillow scented with lavender oil will envelop you in beautiful dreams and better sleep.
3) Fragrance and touch – a sensory combo
Do you long to relax the muscles of your body? The combination of the senses of smell and touch creates a deeper experience. Massage helps reduce long-term stress and relieve muscle tension.
If you don’t have a “professional masseur” at hand, you can gently massage your neck, hands or feet with the help of essential oil yourself. It is important to add the essential oil to a carrier oil or body cream.
4) A little oil on the go
You can also use essential oil as first aid for sudden problems.
- On the bus
- At work
- During a stressful meeting
When you suddenly feel anxious or your stomach is upset, use a suitable oil that will become your little helper in your pocket or purse.
