If You’re Sad
If you’re feeling disinterested, discouraged or just plain down, holistic healer Hope Gillerman says to make a diffuser cocktail of three focusing oils: rosemary, eucalyptus and cedarwood. “Slowly breathe in the vapor from your diffuser to help you get more oxygen to your brain and wake up to new possibilities! Or, try a bright and shiny peppermint cocktail like my H. Gillerman Organics Clear Mind Tension Remedy ($50) to get you up and moving.”
Lindsey Carter, founder of Blooming Light and master aromatherapist, likes to combine geranium and sweet orange essential oils to help promote feelings of joy and happiness. “Geranium’s floral aroma is rich in monoterpenols that help provide a sense of security to support opening your heart,” she says. “When partnered with the emotionally uplifting and tension-calming sweet orange essential oil, you can’t help but feel an overflow of happiness.”
