• 100ml diffuser – use 3 to 5 drops of essential oils.

• 500ml diffuser – requires about 15 to 20 drops.

• Close your eyes. 
• Open your jaw slightly and drop your shoulders. 
• Relax your hands and gently wiggle your toes. 
• Gently inhale to the count of four through your nostrils. Hold for four. Gently exhale for four through your nostrils. Hold for four.

TRANQUIL BATH RECIPE

Begin your tranquil bath by turning your bathroom into a calming sanctuary.

Light some candles.

Turn on some healing music.

Grab a glass of water or relaxing herbal tea.

Fill your bath.

As the bath fills, throw in a handful of magnesium flakes to relax your muscles.

Then place a small amount (about a teaspoon) of natural liquid soap into the cupped palm of your hand. 

Lavender, rose, or sandalwood castile soap is gentle and soothing for your skin.

Add 15 drops of Tranquil essential oil to the soap and mix together with your finger. 

Next, place your soap-filled hand under the running tap water to create aromatic, cleansing bubbles.

Mixing any oils you use with liquid soap is a great way to disperse them into the bath water so that they don’t cling in clumps to your skin or the sides of your tub.

Turn the overhead lights off.

Close your eyes as you soak your muscles.

Breathe gently and deeply into your belly.

Breathe out.

Relax.

MASSAGE & REFLEXOLOGY OIL RECIPE

Ingredients

100ml of Sweet Almond Oil.

3ml (approximately 60 drops) of Tranquil essential oil.

Instructions

To create a calming massage oil, add 3ml of Tranquil essential oil to a 100ml bottle of sweet almond oil. 

 Shake the bottle well to disperse the essential oils into the almond oil.

Store in an amber glass bottle in a cool, dark place. To prolong the life of cosmetic oils, store them in the fridge.

We recommend sweet almond oil as the carrier oil because it is rich in vitamin E to nourish your skin and is an excellent source of the muscle relaxing mineral magnesium. 

TRANQUIL ROLLERBALL PERFUME RECIPE

You can use Tranquil essential oil to create a natural roll-on perfume – plus you gain the added calming benefits of the ingredients.

Tranquil has beautiful floral accents that are ideal for perfume-making.

Ingredients

Tranquil essential oil – 20% of your perfume recipe.

Essential Therapeutics Sweet Almond Oil – 80% of your perfume recipe.

9ml black glass rollerball perfume bottle. Black glass is perfect for protecting essential oils.

Instructions

Step One

Pour 7ml of sweet almond oil into your rollerball bottle. This is your carrier oil.

We chose almond oil in this recipe because of its calming qualities, but you can also use jojoba oil as your carrier.

You can also use a glass dropper to transfer the almond oil into your perfume bottle. 

How many drops you need will depend on the oil.

Not all oil drops are equal. Differences in the thickness (viscosity) of different oils will impact the amount of oil in a drop.

To make this recipe easy – if you are going to use a dropper to transfer almond oil into your perfume bottle – fill the bottle about three-quarters full. You can always top up at the end.

Step Two

Then add 20-36 drops of Tranquil essential oil to your carrier oil.

Start by adding 20 drops of essential oil.

Shake well until the ingredients are combined.

Test the scent and increase the drops until you reach an aroma level you love.

When you are making perfume oil, use no more than 20% of essential oils in your carrier oil – the maximum level recommended for safety.

There are approximately 20 drops of essential oil in 1 millilitre.

That means in a 9 ml perfume blend you’re going to need 1.8 ml (20%) of essential oil, which is equivalent to 36 drops.

Don’t forget to write down the number of essential oil drops you use so you can recreate your recipe.

How To Apply Your Perfume Oil

To relax and calm your body, you can apply this beautiful harmonising oil whenever needed.

Stressed, tense, anxious, irritable, or worried – apply to your inner wrists, inner elbows, temples, forehead, between your eyes, and to the back of your neck.

Sad or depressed – apply over your heart region.

Tense muscles – apply wherever you hold tension – including your neck, shoulders, abdomen, and leg muscles.

Insomnia – apply to your wrists, the back of your neck, behind your ears, the top and bottom of your feet, and your inner ankles. To relax your body further, massage your feet.
