It's the new year and many of us over indulged during the Christmas period. To give your body and helping hand I've listed some aromatherapy essential oils which help to detox and clarify the body and mind.
You can use the following oils in a burner or while taking a bath. I'd recommend using around 4 to 6 drops. You could also blend some together to enhance the fragrance.
Before using any of the following oils be sure to check out any associated cautions.
- Black Pepper: Used to stimulate your circulation.
- Cypress: Strengthens the circulation and liver. Also a diuretic.
- Fennel: Great for detoxing the body. Has great cleansing properties.
- Geranium: This oil is great for stimulating the lymphatic system, liver and kidneys. Great diuretic.
- Grapefruit: One of my favourite oils to use. Its a lymphatic stimulant.
- Juniper: Diuretic, boots the liver and kidneys.
- Lemon: Strengthens the liver, kidneys, circulation and immune system. This oil is an all round body cleanser.
- Mandarin: Stimulates the liver.
- Patchouli: Diuretic. Helps flush toxins through the kidneys. Not a fragrance that everyone finds appealing.
