Adults

Aromatherapy is helpful for an assortment of adult needs, such as stress, sleep, mood, and even headaches. Try finding areas in your day-to-day life to incorporate aromatherapy. Here are a few examples to give you ideas.

Start your day with a shower and add few drops of rosemary, eucalyptus, or bergamot in the corner—these can boost your mood and awaken your body and mind.

If you have a headache, try massaging diluted rosemary and frankincense oil onto your temples, forehead, and on the back of your skull where your neck meets your head.

Help the whole family prepare for bedtime by diffusing lavender and blue cypress 30 minutes before bedtime. Additionally, try massaging these diluted oils into the area just behind your ears to keep the benefits going throughout your sleep.
