Good Morning! So after my complaints about Seattle weather yesterday, I woke up to this..... Ok, so I didn't actually take this photo, but it is the perfect illustration for what today looks like here in the Northwest. Yay! Definitely having some outside time today. As promised, today I am continuing my essential oil posts by sharing 4 of my favorite and simple ways you can use essential oils on the body to calm and soothe. Let's get straight into it..... ![]() 1. Calm Nervous System/Adrenal Exhaustion Bath Blend Mix together the following in your bath and soak for 15-30 mins: 10 drops vetiver 10 drops roman chamomile 1 cup Epsom salts OR you can also blend 20 drops lavender with 1 cup Epsom salts for similar effect ![]() 2.
