MarchMondayMassage - Restlessness

In February we did a series of Fragrance Blends, for "Fragrant February."  In March I would like to do a series of Massage blends to deal with different physical and emotional issues. Earlier today I took part in a discussion about restlessness in a growing boy. That made me think of this particular solution.

Restless. Fidgity.  Can't settle down.  We've all been there, or have dealt with a friend who IS there.   Came across this lovely blend and thought...ah, yes.   Relaxing but not necessarily sedating. This just might help someone settle down a bit.



5 drops EACH, Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) and  Sweet Marjoram (Origanum marjorana)

Blend  essential oils together, and add to one fluid ounce of your favorite massage base oil. (We normally reach for Fractionated Coconut Oil.)

This blend of oils would also make a wonderful room spray or diffuser blend.  If you are the one combatting your own restlessness, you might consider making an inhaler for personal use.

Enjoy.
