Take a Bubble Bath or a Long, Hot Shower with Essential Oils

The aroma of essential oils may boost your energy levels, wake you up, or make you sleepy. Depends on which one you choose. Peppermint will wake you up, lavender will make you relaxed, while orange and grapefruit will boost your energy. Here’s a quick guide to 10 different essential oils with an infographic!

Or try Epsom salt (magnesium) to relax in a tubful of warm water. If you don’t have a tub, try rubbing magnesium oil on your body after your shower. (If you’ve never used either, take care to limit your use, as magnesium has a muscle relaxing compound, and can make you sleepy! Oh, and it can also act as a fantastic way to combat constipation! 😉
