If you celebrate during this time of year, that means traveling or entertaining, and even if you don&#8217;t get into the holiday celebration thing, it probably still means extra stress at work as your office tries to work ahead and finish up year-end business.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, December can be incredibly stressful, and it&#8217;s easy to get overwhelmed. I saw a great graphic the other day that said, &#8220;When you absolutely cannot take a break is exactly when you should take one.&#8221; I think this rings so true during the holidays! If you&#8217;re getting ready to rip your own hair out, try taking a few quiet minutes for some soothing aromatherapy instead!<\/p>\n<h2>Essential Oils for Stress<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>lavender<\/li>\n<li>peppermint<\/li>\n<li>ylang ylang<\/li>\n<li>blue lotus oil &#8211; this oil is very expensive, but a little goes a long way. I wouldn&#8217;t put blue lotus oil in the tub, but a few minutes of deep breathing with this on your pulse points does wonders!<\/li>\n<li>bergamot<\/li>\n<li>rosemary<\/li>\n<li>sandalwood<\/li>\n<li>clary sage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can choose one oil or create your own blend, mixing up a couple of your favorites.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use Your Essential Oils<\/h2>\n<p>Remove yourself from whatever situation is stressing you out. That could mean finding a quiet place to sit or heading out for a walk around the blog. Before you go, though, dab 2-3 drops of stress-busting essential oils on your inner wrists, and breathe them in deeply as you sit or walk. You can also escape to the bathtub and put about 10-15 drops of essential oil right in the water along with some epsom salts to melt the stress away!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite way to bust stress during the holidays?
