Holiday Essential Oil Blend

I found a wonderful aromatherapy blend for the holidays.  I am using this in my candle warmers at the store and have been surprised at its mellow effectiveness.  I thought pine would be strong and overpowering, but instead it has a subtle and pleasant scent.  Try this blend to help with holiday stress:

4 drops pine
2 drops mandarin
1 drop cinnamon

Pine is peaceful and balancing, yet invigorating.  It is helpful for apathy, nervous exhaustion,  fatigue, or lethargy.  Pine is beneficial for the glandular, urinary, respiratory, and circulatory systems.  It assists in the healing process.  With qualities of being antiviral, decongestant, expectorant, and disinfectant, it is a great choice for this time of year.  Pine is also excellent for clearing negative energy from the environment, making it a good choice for relatives, who may bring resentments along with gifts, when they visit. 

Mandarin is cheerful, refreshing, and inspiring.  It alleviates stress, tension, irritability, nervous tension, and mental fatigue.  Mandarin helps restlessness, gives relief from over-activity,  and promotes peaceful sleep.  Mandarin is a favorite of children because of its sweet, orange-like scent and its gentleness.

Cinnamon transforms low vitality, depression, mental exhaustion, and lack of motivation into a zest for life.  It stimulates creativity and stimulates new ideas.  Cinnamon may ease indigestion caused by stress, use externally only.  It stimulates circulation and is antiviral.

Enjoy the holidays...without the stress!
