New Year, New Me with Essential Oils

Here’s how you can use essential oils to inspire relaxation, enhance concentration, and boost your energy in the new year.

Relaxation for a Clear Mind

With the chaos of the holidays behind us, January often brings a chance to slow down and reflect. Relaxation is key to staying balanced and ready for new challenges, and essential oils like lavender and chamomile are perfect allies for creating a calming atmosphere.

Lavender Essential Oil is renowned for its soothing properties, helping to relieve stress and encourage restful sleep. After a busy day of ticking off your resolutions, diffuse lavender oil in your bedroom or blend it with a carrier oil like Freshskin’s organic rosehip oil for a calming massage.

Roman Chamomile Essential Oil, with its sweet, apple-like aroma, promotes peace of mind and emotional balance. Create a warm bath soak by adding 5-6 drops of chamomile oil to a cup of Epsom salts. This DIY spa moment will help you unwind and focus on your goals with a clear head.

Try This Relaxation Ritual

• Diffuse 3 drops of roman chamomile and 3 drops of lavender oil in your favourite diffuser while journaling about your New Year’s outlook. This creates a smelling sanctuary ideal for reflection.

Focus for Productivity

Whether you’re working on a big project or simply trying to stay organised, maintaining focus is essential for meeting your goals. Essential oils like rosemary and peppermint can help sharpen your attention and give your brain the extra nudge it needs.

Rosemary Essential Oil is celebrated for its energising and clarity-boosting effects, making it the perfect study or work companion. Place a few drops into a personal inhaler or mix it with a carrier oil to apply to your temples during demanding tasks.

Peppermint Essential Oil offers a refreshing aroma that wakes up your senses and builds focus. Simply inhaling peppermint oil can help clear mental fog and sustain your concentration throughout the day.

Desk Diffuser Blend for Focus

• Mix 2 drops of rosemary oil and 2 drops of peppermint oil in your diffuser. Keep this blend running while you tackle your to-do list.

Energy for Enthusiasm

Making changes and building new habits takes energy, and uplifting citrus oils like sweet orange and lemon are perfect for keeping your spirits high. Their bright, cheerful scents bring an instant sense of joy and motivation to your daily routine.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil is a natural mood lifter, helping to combat winter blues and energise your mornings. Add it to a body scrub made with sugar and coconut oil for a revitalising shower experience.

Lemon Essential Oil is zesty and invigorating, making it a popular choice to refresh both body and mind.
