Essential oils for summer

Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that uses essential oils to enhance well-being, enhance beauty, and support health. Essential oils, which are concentrated extracts from plants, flowers, roots, and other plant parts, are the power that drives aromatherapy.

Together we will discover four different, practical recipes for essential oil blends that are perfect for summer. Each one has its own unique properties, so... let's get started!

Cooling body mist

Summer can be a bit of a drag on hot days. Luckily, we can help with that with the power of essential oils.

  • 5 drops of peppermint oil
  • 5 drops of eucalyptus oil
  • 5 drops of lavender oil
  • 100 ml distilled water

These oils have natural cooling properties. Peppermint adds a fresh feeling, eucalyptus opens the airways, and lavender has a calming effect. Mix these oils with water in a spray bottle and spray them around you whenever you feel too hot.

A mixture that effectively repels mosquitoes

Nothing ruins a summer evening like mosquitoes. But don't worry, we can handle that!

  • 10 drops of eucalyptus oil
  • 5 drops of geranium oil
  • 5 drops of cedar oil
  • 100 ml distilled water

These oils are a natural mosquito repellent. Mix them with water in a spray bottle and spray your surroundings. You will like the smell, but mosquitoes definitely won't like it!

Energizing mist

When you're feeling tired on those long summer days, this energizing blend is for you.

  • 5 drops of rosemary oil
  • 5 drops of orange oil
  • 5 drops of grapefruit oil
  • 100 ml water

Citrus oils are known for their uplifting and energizing properties. Mix these oils with water in a spray bottle and use it whenever you feel like you need an extra boost.

Finally - the recipe for hair mist with coconut oil, is very beneficial for the condition of hair in summer.

Ingredients:

  • 100 ml distilled water
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (supports hair hydration and nourishment)
  • 5 drops ylang-ylang essential oil (promotes healthy, shiny hair)
  • 5 drops of bergamot essential oil (adds shine and freshness to hair)

Preparation:

  1. In a small jar, mix coconut oil with essential oils.
  2. Then add distilled water.
  3. Mix ingredients thoroughly, then pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
  4. Shake the bottle before each use to mix the ingredients.

This mist can be used on dry or wet hair whenever you feel like you need a refresher. Remember, essential oils are very concentrated, so always test new blends on a small patch of skin.
