Essential Oil Blends for Depression

This portable little aromatherapy inhaler is great because you can carry it in your bag or keep it in your desk (keep an extra one in your car - it's great for road rage!) and use it whenever you need a lift.

Pour a teaspoon of coarse sea salt in a very small dark glass or PET plastic bottle and add one of the following blends:

To use, take three long, slow, deep breaths of the aroma. If you're really stressed out or miserable, take a short break, then take three more deep breaths. You can do this up to three times.

When the scent in your aromatherapy inhaler fades, just add in another batch of the essential oils, give the bottle a shake and you're good to go again.

Another great option is to make the above blends into a bath or body oil. Simply add the essential oils to 2oz (1/4 cup) aromatherapy carrier oil of your choice.
