Essential oils and herbs can support your transition from winter to spring. Use this recipe for a Simmer Pot or create a blend of essential oils for a diffuser. Let the aroma energize your space with fresh vitality. Set intentions and tap into unlimited potential with these elements.
Lemon for clarity and freshness.
Chamomile for calm, harmony, and welcoming warmth.
Orange for energy, joy, and abundance.
Lavender for relaxation and emotional balance.
Rose or Rosewood for love, self-care, and heart-opening energy.
Cinnamon for warmth, transformation, and grounding.
Use lemon slices, dried chamomile, orange peel, lavender buds, rose petals, and one or two cinnamon sticks to create a simmer pot. Gently simmer these ingredients in a pot of water on the stove and enjoy the delightful aroma!
For a diffuser, add these essential oils in the water in the diffuser the following proportions:
Lemon – 6 drops
Chamomile – 1 drop
Orange – 8 drops
Lavender – 15 drops
Rosewood – 2 drops
Cinnamon – 1 drop
Note: If the diffuser has a small reservoir, the number of drops in the formula should be decreased. The chamomile and cinnamon could take over the overall aroma, so consider leaving those two drops out if the diffuser has a small space for the water.
Essential oils truly activate memory and promote inner peace and restoration. Aromatherapy and the energetic essence of essential oils all start with understanding how our sense of smell profoundly influences our moods and behaviors. Scents impact our moods, decisions, and even our capacity to comprehend, remember, and process feelings and emotions. The brain’s limbic system interprets signals, impacts mood and emotion, and functions as a storage area.
Welcome Spring!
