Calming Aromatherapy

10 Essential Oil Recipes for Anxiety / Stress

Aromatherapy at home

​

Aromatherapy is an affordable relaxation technique you can use in different ways at home to treat your anxiety. 

  • Place essential oils in an infuser, which fills your room with scent. The essential oil scent will keep you relaxed and calm during the day. 

  • Aromatherapy can also be part of your bath. Add about five drops of the oil of your choice to bath to help you relax.

  • Essential oils can be used as part of the massage, either on your own or by a professional. Be sure to dilute the oils first with a carrier oil (such as sweet almond, jojoba or peach). Use about five drops of essential oil with about 10 ml of carrier oil.
