BAY BREEZE ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND
sun-soaked wood ∙ island citrus ∙ warm ocean air
This blend is intended to create energizing effects, while also providing a sense of being grounded, whole, and connected. These three oils bring out the best in each other when blended, but they can also be used individually.
Recommended proportions for aromatherapy:
2 parts Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
1 part Bergamot Essential Oil
2 parts Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil
This blend is completely enchanting, as notes of tropical island fruit blends with aromas of ocean driftwood. The elements of the three oils blended together take you to a wooden dock on a jewel-blue ocean right as the balmy sun sets on the horizon. A bay breeze swirls the smells of the island in the air, instantly sending you to cloud 9. 🌥
