It is designed to support feelings associated with heart-centred connections and promote relaxation and tranquility. The oil can be applied topically or used aromatically through diffusion. When used topically, it is recommended to apply 2-4 drops directly to the desired area, such as the wrists, behind the ears, or over the heart.

Add a few drops to a bath for a luxurious experience

Adding a few drops of essential oil to your bath can be a great way to create a luxurious and spa-like experience. Here are some tips and guidelines for adding Young Living's Aroma Life essential oil to your bath:

Number of Drops

According to Young Living, the company that makes Aroma Life, you should add 6-8 drops of the essential oil to your bath. This is within the general recommended range of 5-10 drops per bath.

Blending with a Carrier

Essential oils do not dissolve in water, so it is important to blend them with a carrier substance before adding them to your bath. Suitable carriers include fixed or vegetable oils (such as sweet almond, avocado, or fractionated coconut oil), aloe jelly, an emulsifier like Castile soap, or a dispersal agent like Solubol. Blend the essential oil with your chosen carrier thoroughly before adding it to your bathwater.

Safety Considerations

When using essential oils in the bath, it is important to consider potential skin irritation. Aroma Life essential oil can be applied neat (undiluted) to the skin in most cases, but for those with sensitive skin, it is recommended to dilute it with a carrier substance. If you experience any irritation, immediately wash the area with gentle soap and water, then apply a neutral fixed oil like fractionated coconut oil, olive oil, or jojoba wax.

It is also important to avoid certain essential oils that can be irritating or harmful when used in the bath. These include "hot" oils like cinnamon bark, cassia, oregano, and thyme, as well as peppermint, lemongrass, and melissa, which can be irritating to the skin. Strong florals like ylang-ylang and rose otto can also be overwhelming and lead to nausea or headaches.

Other Uses

In addition to adding it to your bath, Aroma Life essential oil can be used in a variety of other ways to enhance your self-care routine. You can add a few drops to your diffuser, massage oil, body wash, or perfume. You can also apply it directly to your wrists, behind your ears, or over your heart to uplift and revitalise your spirit.

Mix with water in a spray bottle for a happy home

Young Living's Aroma Life essential oil is a blend of sesame seed oil, cypress, marjoram, ylang-ylang, and helichrysum. It has a calming, fresh, herbaceously sweet aroma and is designed to support feelings associated with heart-centred connections.

To create happy home vibes, Young Living recommends adding a few drops of Aroma Life to a spray bottle filled with water and spritzing your space.

Step 1: Choose the Right Emulsifier

Oil and water do not mix, so you will need an emulsifier to create a stable mixture. There are many emulsifiers available, but not all are suitable for use with essential oils. Some non-toxic emulsifiers you can consider include:

• Grass-fed gelatin
• Collagen hydrolysate
• Diatomaceous earth
• Alcohol (such as vodka)
• Polysorbate 20

Step 2: Prepare the Emulsifier and Essential Oil

Before adding the essential oil to the water, combine it with the emulsifier. Add the emulsifier to the essential oil and shake or stir the mixture. Ideally, you should wait several hours or even 24 hours to see if there is any separation. If the mixture remains stable, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Add the Emulsified Essential Oil to the Water

Once your emulsified essential oil is ready, you can add it to the water in your spray bottle. Typically, a ratio of 1:1 is appropriate for emulsification, but you may need to adjust this depending on the oil you are using.

Step 4: Mix and Spritz

After adding the emulsified essential oil to the water, shake the spray bottle gently to combine the two. Now you can spritz your space with the calming and invigorating aroma of Aroma Life.

Additional Tips:

• Always perform a small patch test on your skin before using any new essential oil blend to ensure you are not sensitive to it.
• When not in use, store your spray bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• If you notice any separation in your spray bottle over time, simply shake it gently before each use to recombine the ingredients.

• Add the appropriate number of drops of Aroma Life essential oil to the body wash.
• Use a whisk or spoon to gently mix the essential oil into the body wash until it is fully incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can decrease the effectiveness of the essential oil.
