I was sent Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Essence* a few weeks ago (10ml - £16.50). I've been using it in times of stress and to relax.
An anti-bacterial inhalation essence to help reduce stuffiness, congestion, ease breathing, relief for colds, for use in planes to protect from germs, to relax and de-stress.
With essential oils of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, pine and Tea Tree.
To use: sprinkle a few drops on a tissue and breath in deeply.
Catherine Turner, a Health & Beauty journalist who does a really interesting column for Psychologies magazine (I always see products I want to try!) suggests rubbing a few drops in the palms and inhaling to relax.
It can also be used as a home fragrance oil in an Aromatherapy Associates electric burner.
Have you used this before? Do you use any products to relax and de-stress?

I think scent is a really powerful tool to unwind, I use essential oil blends, scented candles and bath and shower products scented with essential oils. They all have a powerful effect on my mood. I must try Aromatherapy associates, I can't believe I haven't yet. x
ReplyDeleteYou will love Aromatherapy Associates! I love their bath oils too x
DeleteI love AA products especially the bath oils would like to try more x
ReplyDeleteThe skincare range is also lovely x
DeleteI picked up the Support Breathe bath & shower oil in their January sale. It definitely helps clear your chest, nose & sinuses if you have a cold.
ReplyDeleteI also picked up their Light Relax & Evening Revive bath & shower oils and I love both. You can dab them directly on pressure points too to help you unwind at night. Their Enrich Serum is also delightful, as is their Renewing Rose body oil & body cream. Haven't come across an AA product I've not loved!! I believe it was you that started my love of their stuff, through your blog! ;)
I love their Renewing Rose Body Cream. Must try the body oil! I love their Revive Evening Bath & Shower Oil. I've also not come across a product I don't love! :) x

ReplyDeleteI'm going to put this on my wishlist, sounds absolutely lovely! x

I'm sure you'd love it. x
DeleteIf I'm really stressed, I find Bach's Rescue Remedy works a treat. A drop or two under the tongue does it. Otherwise, frankincense is a wonderfully relaxing essential oil for the burner. It helps to quiet the mind and aid focus.

Bach's Rescue Remedy does nothing for me unfortunately! I do use Rock Rose though. x
