Spruce up your shower! - Aroma tip of the week from Aromandina
Written by Cristina Proano-Carrion Monday, 28 December 2009 00:00
Make your own aromatherapy concoction at home with 30 drops of Spruce essential oil and 15 drops of Pine essential oil mixed in a 4 oz bottle of Carrier oil.
Why it works: Spruce has an uplifting scent while Pine is very effective against sore throats, chest congestions, joint pains and respiratory distress.
Keep this blend handy in the shower and rub it all over your body just after a shower. Lack of sunlight and physical activity during harsh winter months can lower the body’s immune function and induce malaise. These essential oils collectively work towards fighting infections, supporting the adrenal glands and improving lymphatic drainage.
While using the oil, make sure that you pay special attention to the abdomen as that area has a dense concentration of lymphatic tissue.After a brief massage, practice deep breathing for about 30 seconds. It has been found that people who practice this method in the shower every morning stay more healthy and active during winters.
