The infinite uses of essential oils never cease to amaze me. If you love basking in the outdoors during summer, I have some great aromatherapy tips and tricks for you. My husband and son love to play tennis and soccer around this season and it is of course my responsibility to shield and protect them from the heat! Here is a simple and effective aromatherapy recipe that I have always used and I believe it will be of great help to you too: Take 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl Add 4 drops of your chosen essential oil and mix well Pour in some cold water and stir till the salt dissolves completely Soak a few face towels in the solution for a while and wring out the excess water Keep these wet towels in a zipper bag and store them in the fridge (They will keep for about a week). Use them to wipe your face and body while playing outdoors or after a vigorous summer workout. It will instantly make you feel refreshed and invigorated. Here are some oils that work amazingly well for this recipe: Spearmint and Peppermint possess natural cooling and refreshing properties. These oils can help you concentrate better on your activity. Cardamom helps in maintaining focus and keeps you alert, especially if you are out playing a challenging sport
