Aromatherapy: Focus, De-Stress, Invigorate

Here’s what to look for when shopping for your essential oils:

Focus: Can’t seem to concentrate? Try oils that contain rosemary leaf (increases blood flow to the brain), peppermint (stimulant), and frankincense resin (increases concentration).



De-Stress: If you’re looking to unwind, here are the oils you should consider: Ylang-ylang flower (calms and supports the nervous system), lavender flower (calms the mind), and german chamomile flower (uplifts and brings the body into balance).

Invigorate: Pulled an all-nighter, or just need a pick me up? Look for oils that contain black pepper dried fruit (stimulates blood flow), cedarwood (increases strength and endurance), and rosemary leaf (awakens the mind).

You can find essential oils at a craft shop, aromatherapy specialty store, or online at 21 Drops.
