In this blog i'm gonna talk about something that can uplift your spirit,wake you up,make you feel at ease,and just overall make you feel good.Now what could this item be that is so amazing?It is essential oils.Sounds crazy that a liquid could do all that but once you smell of these liquids you'll become a believer also.The ones that I am reviewing today are made by the Insta Natural company.The scents I am reviewing today is their Lemon and Peppermint scents.So first lets take a look at the product itself in pictures.
Both oils come in a large 4 oz bottle which means these essential oils will last you a long time because it only takes a drop or two.Before I even opened the box I could smell the oils strongly which led me to know it was a high quality product.They have used the most natural ingredients in these oils and they are very fragrant.Essential oils have many different uses and I will now list below a few ways they can be used.
To use essential oils as an air freshener simply do the following
- Take a clean plastic spray bottle (used for spraying plants) and half fill it with clean water. You may wish to use filtered or bottled water, to ensure that no contaminants are in the water.
- Add 8 - 10 drops of a refreshing and uplifting essential oil to the water and shake well.
- When you need to perk up a room, shake the bottle and give the room a couple of quick sprays, but make sure not to spray near polished furniture, as the essential oils can damage the polished surface.
- Store the bottle in a dark cool area.
To use essential oils in your batht simply do the following
- When the bathwater has been drawn add a total of about 6 - 7 drops of oil
They are normally prepared with warm water in a bowl large enough for the feet or hands, with a little space free to allow for the water to rise when they are immersed.
After preparing the bath, mix five drops of your chosen essential oil with one dessertspoon of apple cider vinegar and add it to the bath. We find the apple cider vinegar a great way to help disperse the oil, and it also has its own therapeutic properties.
Should you prefer not to use the apple cider vinegar, you could mix the essential oil with some powered milk, and forming it into a paste before mixing with the water, as it also helps to disperse the oil.
However, the apple cider vinegar nor the powered milk is required, and the essential oil can be used directly into the bath.
If you want to add an extra relaxing dimension to your footbath, you can place marbles or small pebbles at the bottom of the bath to run your feet over.
Electric footbaths are also great, since they have a massaging action that agitates the water and helps to aerate it, while zinging up circulation.
Should you be performing a footbath on your own, and you are still lithe enough, you could rest one foot on the other knee and do a gentle massage on each sole, while busy with the footbath.
You can also add this to add scent to different creams you'd make homemade and you could also use it along with the coconut oil I blogged about in my previous blog.
No matter how you use it I can assure you that you won't be let down withe these oils cause they are potent and will be amazing mood boosters for your day just simply by the scent of them.Best way to enjoy a spa day at home or just simply giving your house a welcoming scent.
I got my essential oils in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and I stand behind this product 100 percent.If you want to get a bottle or two of your own you can find them here
