1. the best relaxing oils
The following essential oils help to relieve stress, but also to relax the mind and body. You can use them separately or together. There are no limits to your creativity when it comes to the composition of the oils. However, we will also suggest a fragrance blend in the article that you are welcome to try out. Relaxing oils and oil blends are also available in practical roll-on bottles for direct application to the neck, temples and wrists - a little treat for in-between.
Pure natural lavender oil
The sweet, fresh scent of lavender oil is probably the best-known fragrance among essential oils. Lavender oil has a harmonizing and balancing effect on body and mind. Natural lavender oil can be used in a variety of ways, including to help you fall asleep and have a restful sleep. However, the essential oil is also used for headaches and colds, as its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties can also alleviate symptoms.
Pure natural lemon oil
Natural lemon oil is known for its energizing and refreshing effect due to its fresh and fruity scent. However, there is also evidence that lemon oil also has calming properties. The scent of lemon oil creates a pleasant and fresh room climate, which can promote concentration and alleviate stress.
Pure natural tea tree oil
Natural tea tree oil is the all-rounder among essential oils. It has antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial and fungicidal properties. Tea tree oil can therefore strengthen the immune system and alleviate ailments. Stress symptoms can also be alleviated with the help of the oil. Due to the herbaceous, spicy scent of the oil, it alleviates psychosomatic complaints, stabilizes the psyche and increases self-confidence.
Pure natural frankincense oil
Due to its calming and harmonizing effect, pure natural frankincense oil is still used today as incense in Catholic and Orthodox churches for meditation. Frankincense oil has an anti-inflammatory, disinfecting and cell-regenerating effect, which is why it is also used for external wound healing. The scent of frankincense can normalize breathing, focus and free the mind.
Natural bergamot oil
Bergamot is a member of the citrus family. It originated as a cross between lime and bitter orange. Due to its light citrus note, it is ideal for stressful situations and stress symptoms. It alleviates stress, has a calming effect and promotes concentration. The scent of bergamot oil can also have a mood-enhancing effect.
2. application of essential oils
Each of the oils mentioned works in its own way, so you have to choose according to your needs. To achieve the best possible results, we recommend using high quality natural oils. Please note: Essential oils are highly concentrated and must not be applied to the skin undiluted. It is sufficient to add a few drops to a carrier oil or lotion. In the practical roll-on bottles from Casida, the essential oils are already mixed in nourishing coconut oil so that you can apply them directly to the skin. The following oil recipes are pure and undiluted. You can add them to your bath water for relaxation, for example, or diffuse them with an aroma diffuser to benefit from the positive effects of the fragrances.
