Diffusing Essential Oils in the Home

We were recently asked about what essential oils to diffuse in one's house in relation to the time of day. What oils will help wake us up, energize us, relax us, and put us to sleep. Before we launch into this fun topic, a quick side note: if you are using a nebulizing diffuser, ensure that you are not using too thick of an oil (such as Vanilla), as not to clog the diffuser.

Good Morning! Time to wake up!
Eucalyptus or Peppermint Essential Oils will help get your senses going in the morning. Try a couple of drops in the shower. For those non-morning people, try some Lemongrass, which will help decrease both irritability and drowsiness.

Keep Energized Throughout the Day
Most citrus oils will help keep your energy up throughout the day. Try diffusing Blood Orange, Pink Grapefruit or Lemon in the afternoon. Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil will help stabilize one's energy, and at the same time it will help calm nervous tension. To reduce mental fatigue, try diffusing Spearmint Essential Oil.

To Help with Calm in the Evening
Frankincense will help centre the mind and quiet the mental chatter. It is particularly helpful when you are feeling overwhelmed. Clary Sage, Linden Blossom, Vanilla and Tangerine are all helpful when in need of calming or relaxing energy.

Aromazzzzz...for Bedtime
Lavender and Chamomile Essential Oils are wonderful to use at bedtime for the whole family: adults, children and pets. Try diffusing in the air before bedtime or a couple of drops in a warm bath before bed. For children, Mandarin is also wonderful not only to help them sleep, but also helps dispel fears.

The oils mentioned above are just a couple of suggestions. If you are curious about more, please visit our website, where we have more information on each of the oils.

Aromatherapy Roll-Ons

About a year ago, we launched a line of Aromatherapy Roll-Ons, which proved to be a big hit! This year we are excited to announce three new additions: Balance, Cold Sore & Zit Zap. But today we would like to focus on our Sleepy Time Roll-On.

We blend our essential oils of Lavender, Marjoram, Chamomile & Cedarwood into a certified organic base of Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil and Rosemary Extract. Designed to roll onto the chest, soles of the feet (the most absorbent part of your body!), and pulse points, but I personally like to roll it onto my thumbs, as I sleep with my hands by my face.

The Moroccan Cedarwood and German Chamomile both lend themselves to the blend by softening the herbaceous notes of the Lavender and Marjoram. The Rosemary Extract acts as a natural preserving agent. This Roll-On has a slightly greenish, golden hue, from the CO2 extract of the German Chamomile and the beautiful gold of the certified organic Jojoba Oil. A quick side note about Jojoba Oil, it is actually not an oil, but rather a liquid wax, therefore it does not go rancid. It is also the most similar to the natural oil of one's skin, which makes it an ideal moisturizer, absolutely amazing on the face!

We have had many people tell us that they use our Sleepy Time products, not just for insomnia, but also because they have wonderful, deep sleeps when they use it, waking up more refreshed.

This week only, we would like to offer our readers our Roll-Ons at 20% off. To take advantage of this offer, please visit http://www.purepotentwow.com/p-rollons-specialsaleprices.htm
