Bergamot
(Citrus Bergamia)
is like instant sunshine in a bottle. Uplifting & refreshing, great
for
getting rid of dull, winter blues.
Grapefruit
(Citrus
Paradisi) has the benefits of Vitamin C and recovery from those
feelings of
seasonal affective disorder. Also helps with muscle fatigue and
stiffness.
Don’t use citrus oils if you’re going on a sunny holiday as
the oil may affect
your skin colour with tanning. Always dilute essential oils with
carrier oil,
like sunflower, olive or grapeseed oil, at a proportion of 2 drops to
5mls of
oil. Both of these oils may cause an allergic reaction so make your
blend and
test on the inside of the elbow to see if any itching or redness occurs
within
24 hours.
A
great way to use these
and get the amazing benefits immediately, is by putting them on a
tissue and
inhaling the lovely smell, or treat yourself to that springtime feeling
by
having a professional Aromatherapy Massage.
