ESSENTIAL OIL OF THE MONTH
Peppermint
Peppermint is the ubiquitous mint, the herb, aroma and flavor that is universally known and loved. The oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and tops. Most peppermint oil is distilled a second time to isolate and concentrate the menthol constituent. The finest oil for aromatherapy purposes has not gone through this second process, and therefore contains all of the therapeutically active properties of the plant intact. Non-redistilled peppermint oil has a creamy, buttery, mint aroma. Peppermint has always been used for its cooling, activating properties. A cool water compress with a few drops of peppermint refreshes on hot, hectic days. Simply enjoying the aroma right out of the bottle or in a diffusion will defeat cases of lethargy and lack of motivation.

RELAXATION BATH
Nothing is more effective at relaxing the body, overcoming mental fatigue and easing emotional distress than a long, luxurious bath. Add relaxing oils to bath salts and immerse your whole being in soothing aromatherapy.
You can add 5 to 10 drops of oil directly to the bath water or mix with a teaspoon of sweet almond oil. To wind down before bed, we suggest 5 drops lavender with 2 drops ylang ylang.
