Not many people take me for an essential oil guy, and I must admit I was a little hesitant at first to start exploring aromatherapy. However, my decades-long time at Mountain Rose Herbs means I’ve had the opportunity to try hundreds of pure essential oils and I began to develop a true fondness for them in spite of myself. Partly this is because I really value ambiance and the art of creating experiences. I’ve learned over the years that aroma plays a key role in creating the mood of a space.
You can diffuse an invigorating essential oil blend for the morning, and in the evening, in the same room, with the same décor, use a calming blend for stress management and sleep, changing the entire feel of the space by only changing the scent. This just goes to show how powerful our olfactory senses are and how incorporating aromatherapy can deeply enhance our experiences.
One of my favorite go-to diffuser recipes is what I call my “Cozy Cabin” blend. It’s one that I regularly diffuse in my home as I love the earthy spice of nutmeg paired with the crisp and uplifting aspects of peppermint and citrus. Together they create a clean and grounded space, which is the sensation I get in a cozy cabin tucked deep in the woods.
I hope this blend serves to enhance your life, wherever you may find yourself.
