There’s nothing quite like that first deep breath when you’re in the forest. IN THE FOREST is designed to promote that feeling of being calm, centered, and grounded, similar to what you would experience with a walk through a natural forest. Watch your tension float away!
How You Can Use IN THE FOREST to Restore Calm
After Shower: After showering, while your skin is still wet, put 1-3 drops of essential oil blend in the palm of one of your hands and rub your hands together. Quickly and evenly spread the essential oil over your legs, arms, and torso. Avoid sensitive skin areas. For maximum skin hydration and to seal in moisture, apply cream, lotion, or body oil directly to damp skin.
Bath, Foot: Mix 1-3 drops of this blend in 1/2 teaspoon of carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil. Set aside. Fill a tub (deep enough to cover your feet and ankles) with warm water. Add the essential oil mixture, stir well, and immerse your feet for 10-15 minutes. Breathe in the aroma and massage your feet.
Chest Rub: Mix 5-15 drops of Forest blend in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil or fragrance-free, natural lotion, apply to your upper chest and upper back.
Diffusion: Follow the diffuser manufacturer’s instructions to fill the air with a therapeutic aroma.
Easy alternatives when you don’t have a diffuser:
Place 2-4 drops of essential oil on several cotton balls or tissues; place nearby or tuck into a fan grate or air vent in your home or car.
Inhalation: Put 1-3 drops of essential oil blend on a tissue and inhale the aroma through your nose. Pause and inhale again.
(Avoid touching your nose with the tissue.)
Massage: Mix 6-30 drops of this blend of essential oils in 1 ounce of carrier oil or fragrance-free, natural lotion.
Room Mist: Mix 30-60 drops of Forest blend in 4 ounces of water in a mister bottle. Shake well before each use and avoid getting the mist into the eyes.
