The top notes are typically thinner oils (great pick me ups.) Base notes will help the top notes linger, while the top notes mellow the base note scents.

Aroma Touch Technique, a muscle massage, or a simple foot massage. I use the foot massage when applying it to my family's feet before bed. All great alternatives. Try these, or comment about some of your own blends. -Lavender, Balance Grounding Blend, and Frankincense for a relaxing massage blend & for sleep. -Cinnamon, Wild Orange and Cardamom to clear the mind and uplift the mood. -Clary Sage, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, and Grapefruit for sensuality and emotional well-being. -Ginger, Cardamom, Bergamot, Frankincense, and Grapefruit to sooth and help with digestion. -Bergamot, Lavender, Myrrh and Roman Chamomile for aches or discomfort. (Or Deep Blue Soothing Blend.) Another could be Eucalyptus, Lavender, Marjoram, and Grapefruit. -Rosemary, Cedarwood, Oregano, and Grapefruit to detoxify and promote healthy organs. Check out my Whipped Sleepytime Rub for a great foot massage before bed. |
