Blends for Libra and Spring using Chamomile German, Geranium and Spearmint

Sep262024

 

Spring is here down under, the wind is up and allergy season is starting!

 

Here are some recipes to soothe your nerves and stimulate your senses.  Below you will find some blends that you can add to your bathing routine, body care products or diffuser, as well as my favourite, the sniffy stick.

 

I love Sniffy Sticks as they are easy to carry around in your bag, and your kids can take them to school or carry them in their pocket because they're not glass like a rollon.

 Here's an easy Floral Water blend to create.

This is a soothing blend for adult skin that is sensitive and tends to flare up as the weather is warmer

When we're feeling scratchy on the outside, we're scratchy emotionally as well.

Here's a different blend to help heal itchy pustular thinning skin from conditions like Psoriasis.
