Take a shower to relieve tension

A nice warm water soak in a bath with aromatherapy oils is very relaxing and calming for your muscles, nerves and mind. A perfect option for a slow evening or a weekend treat, that moment we all look forward to when you can leave all stress and worry behind without feeling guilty about it. Take a shower to relieve tension

However, early in the morning, when you most likely have some time constraints and need to be somewhere on time, having a shower is a better option. And yes, it can be as luxurious an experience. You can relieve the morning stress, calm yourself down and have a valuable treat which will take a few moments of your precious time and set you up for the rest of the day. The way to do that is to add essential oils to your shower.

A hot shower is a perfect muscle relaxer, soothing tension and boosting the levels of oxytocin, one of the ‘feel good’ hormones circulating our bodies. Hot water and steam mixed with essential oils, like in a sauna, can also make you feel energised, ready to take on the day.

A cold shower will increase circulation in your whole body, wake you up, to make you feel alert and energised. It may help relieve symptoms of depression if you make it a daily habit, and even better if you get aromatherapy involved. Think about using grounding scents of essential oils, such as frankincense, lavender, and vetiver.

There are many more oils to choose from, so turn on your diffuser in the bathroom with an AromaSense synergistic blend, such as Meditation, Day Dream, Revitalise or Fatigue Free, or just put a few drops (up to 10) on the shower floor (close the shower hole) and the oils will permeate the bath room air and relieve the stress almost in an instant.

Start with a hot shower and slowly and gradually lower the temperature of the water, and just a minute of cold rinse can bring on the benefits.

Treat yourself with one of the AromaSense therapeutic body oils (with essential oils) such as Invigorating boy oil, Stress Relieving body oil, Love-struck  body oil, Self-Love body oil, for My Napoleon body oil, or Muscular Pain Relieving body oil, to finish the therapeutic treatment in the morning. Bonus: the blends are skin healing too.

Start your day ready to face whatever is coming your way! Take care!
