Deep In Thought*

 

Greek & Roman students wore Rosemary wreaths while they studied, but instead, try this air spray:

 

• 2 drops Cedar

• 1 drop Eucalyptus

• 4 drops Lavender

• 2 drops Orange

• 2 drops Rosemary

 

Mix oils together and add to 16 oz. water in a spray bottle. Use as a room spray when studying or working on a tedious task.

 

Mane Event*

 

• 8 drops Cedar

• 8 drops Lavender

• 12 drops Rosemary

Add essential oils to 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Pour 1 teaspoon of blend into the palm of your hand. Warm it by rubbing your hands together. Massage into your scalp and hair. Keep hair wrapped in a towel or shower cap for 15 minutes to increase the hair’s absorption. Wash your hair normally or maybe twice. Follow with conditioning rinse if you have dark hair. This is safe for color treated hair.

 

Dark Hair Conditioner*

 

• 15 drops Cedar

• 15 drops Rosemary

Add to a bottle of a natural hair conditioner. Apply after shampooing and follow directions on bottle. Rosemary may also be added to your shampoo bottle to relieve dandruff.

 

Despair No More**

To combat emotional stress or trauma, use oils in a diffuser or mix oils together and add to 8 oz. water in a spray bottle. Use as a room spray.

 

Clarifying Bath**

Swirl both into warm to hot water. Great for skin and reducing stress or trauma.
