Enhance your home environment with whatever mood you are wanting to set - cheerful, romantic, relaxed, mental alertness, warmth, and just a great place to be!

Work should be no different to home since you spend so much time there. Encourage cheerfulness, mental alertness, a feeling of well being and contentment. Stay on top of any negativity that might try and creep in.
As you can see, the uses of pure essential oils and aromatherapy is only limited by the imagination. The oils are beneficial on all levels - physically, emotionally and mentally. They are therapeutic, and if you have any pre existing conditions like epilepsy, bruising, pregnancy, diabetes, etc, you should consult your medical professional first.
