The pure essential oils of Lemon-scented Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus citriodora), Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) and True Lavender (Lavandula officinalis) are particularly helpful for alleviating stress. Lemon-scented Eucalyptus has a mildly sedating effect, while improving mental clarity and alertness; True Lavender helps relax tense muscles, and Geranium has a soothing effect, helping to ease anxiety.

To benefit from the soothing aroma of Lotus Aroma® pure essential oils, simply place a few drops within the Lotus Aroma® Scentpot (diffuser), add the suggested amount of water and heat with a candle. The Scentpot will allow the oils to gently infuse your environment. You may also wish to add a few drops of your favourite oil or oils to your bath (True Lavender and Geranium are particularly pleasant together), to alleviate stress at the end of the day. To allow the oils to fully disperse into the water, place 15 drops of pure essential oil in a teaspoon, then add milk or honey and let this flow gently into your bath.
