For stress that results in tiredness, blend 10 drops of clary sage essential oil with 10 drops of lemon essential oil and 15 drops of lavender essential oil. Use the blend in a diffuser, add to a bath or put a few drops in an unscented candle.

A long soak in the tub is one of life's most underrated pleasures! It doesn't cost a lot. It doesn't make you fat or unhealthy. Add some scented soap or bath salts and it becomes a simple way to unwind and pamper yourself after a stressful day. Old Fashioned Lavender Fizzing Bath Salts Blend 2 cups of baking soda, 1 cup of cornstarch and 1 cup of citric acid in a non -reactive bowl- glass works fine. In a separate small bowl mix 2 teaspoons of lavender essential with 1 teaspoon of rosemary oil then add a drop at a time to the dry ingredients mixing well after each addition. Put into a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and let the mixture age for 2 weeks to blend and mellow the scent. Use 1/2- 1/2 cup of your salts in each warm bath. They will fizz and smell wonderful!
