It’s All About Your Mood

by SPBragg on January 12th, 2006

http://www.sxc.huOnce upon a time, smelling salts were used to bring someone “around” who had a case of the “vapors”. We don’t hear very much about that any more, but apparently you can make your own smelling salts to lift your mood. I found a long list of essential oils that can be used for this purpose and they seem to be either spicy, from the citrus family or pungeant flower scents. It might be fun to try to make your own. All it takes is a little rock salt and a few drops of your favorite essential oils.

I think for January, I will choose spicier scents which should make me feel warm! Combining a few drops of cinnamon, cloves and Bergamot essential oils with some rock salt, should do the trick. I often whip up a new batch to sit on my desk. It has saved the computer from being chucked out the window on numerous occasions. Yes, sometimes I have no patience at all and fragrance can have a calming effect.
