April is the month of the Earth and all her wondrous existence. It’s a great time to lend to the notion that she provides everything we need to survive – food, water and even aromatics.

One of Nature’s greatest gifts to us is the aroma of her trees and flowers, especially during the Spring time. The benefits of natural oils are endless. They create soft, silky skin after your bath or shower. Today’s beauty tip helps you to understand why these natural oils are so beneficial to your mind, body and spirit.

Here are 3 ways you can use our natural aromatics to add
some healing and rejuvenation to your life.

AROMATIC
Essential oils can help to lift your spirits and feel completely connected to nature even if you’re tied to a desk somewhere in the corporate world trying to make sense of numbers and words. Simply get some essential oil, place a couple drops in your hands, rub your hands together then cup your hands over your nose, and inhale.

SLEEP AID
There are a few essential oils that will aid in giving you a great night’s rest.
Here are a few to consider:
Chamomile Essential Oil – wonderful calming agent.
Lavender Essential Oil – stress reliever, anti-depressant & sedative.
Veviter Essential Oil – helps to relax and calm you.

Dilute the main essential oil with a carrier oil, such as sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, olive oil or sesame, do a test on a patch of your skin to make sure you won’t have any harsh reactions to it. Once your skin doesn’t react, pour a bit of the oil in your warm bath water and be prepared for a night of complete and solid rest.
