Which is a blend of oils. Has anybody used it? What about single oil bottles?

I know they really aren't as expensive as it may seem, because they will last forever and a little goes a long way, but still I would like to collect opinions before buying.

Ideally I want something uplifting for the morning and calming for bedtime.

And how do you apply the oils - a drop dorectly on the inside of the wrist or via some kind of a diffuser?

Same question about burning incense - I would like something energizing to burn in the kitchen while having my morning coffee and something calming and relaxing for bedtime.
Hi hamster.

My family has used aromatherapy, oils and incense since I was a little girl. I prefer using pure essential oils for personal on the go aromatherapy. I just dab a little of the oil on the insides of my wrists as well as on the sides of my neck and a tiny bit on my temples. I will even rub just a *tiny* bit on the underneath of my nostrils so that I can really smell the healing. ^_^

Pure essential oils I recommend for calming/relaxation: Sandalwood (my personal favorite), Lavender (outstanding for bedtime) and Bergamot.

Pure essential oils I recommend for an uplifting boost: Peppermint, Rosemary and Eucalyptus.

Incense I do a little differently. You can find lavender incense to relax but my dialectical behavior therapy book has helped me to realize that if the scent is comforting to you or nostalgic in someway it can do wonders. My mum always lit Nag Champa around the house, so when I get stressed I do exactly the same and it helps.

Have fun trying out different scents and enjoy the amazing healing benefits of aromatherapy!
