Ever wondered which essential oil helps soothe anxiety, helps you sleep or boots your immune system? Find out on today’s show. During this week’s episode, I have aromatherapy expert, Christina Salcedas, Global Director for Education and Wellbeing at Aromatherapy Associates, to dive into the benefits of essential oil. This is a hugely personal topic for me because my parents have a lavender farm so our house smells of lavender the entire time and my parents are absolutely obsessed with all the healing properties. We look into where different oils can be found globally, the importance of buying pure essential oil and not synthetic and how different oils can be used to uplift mood and boost the immune system. Hope you enjoy!Please find all the products we discussed here: https://www.aromatherapyassociates.comAnd here are a few of the specific products we discussed:SHOWER OILS (obsessed) - https://www.aromatherapyassociates.com/shop/by-product/shower-oils.htmlBREATHE SUPPORT (boosts immune system) - https://www.aromatherapyassociates.com/shop/by-blend/support.htmlDEEP RELAX: https://www.aromatherapyassociates.com/shop/by-blend/relax.htmlDEEP RELAX roller ball (for handbag, on the go etc) - https://www.aromatherapyassociates.com/deep-relax-roller-ball.htmlFollow Aromatherapy Associates here: https://www.instagram.com/aromatherapyassociates/A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable.
