February is here, and both the year of prosperity and season of love will be upon us before you know it! As you may know, the fragrance from essential oils can directly affect your mind, body and soul. We’ve rounded up a few essential oils to attract prosperity to your life and bring the feeling of enchanting emotion to your heart.
 
How to Use Essential Oils

• Topically. Dilute the essential oils in an unscented carrier oil (such as Biossentials Almond Sweet Oil) or moisturising lotion. For the body, the general ratio of essential oil to carrier oil should always be 4-8 drops of essential oil to 10ml carrier oil or moisturising lotion. For the face, the general ratio should always be 1-2 drops of essential oil to 5ml carrier oil or moisturising lotion.
• Diffusion. Fill your aroma burner or your Biossentials Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser with water and add 6-8 drops of your chosen essential oil blend. Light the tealite candle or switch on the electricity. Remember to keep the diffuser on a stable surface, and out of reach from children, pets and flammable materials.
• Perfume. Create your personal blend by adding 10-15 drops of your favourite essential oil(s) in 10ml Biossentials Rosehip oil. Transfer the blend into a roller ball bottle or a cute little glass bottle spray, and apply throughout the day.

Here are some suggested essential oils to create that perfect atmosphere of prosperity and love:

What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are pure concentrated plant extracts. They are the essence of aromatherapy, promoting health of the body and serenity of the mind. Essential oils are typically used topically or through inhalation, and can be used to suit each individual’s unique requirements. Each oil has its own chemical components with beneficial properties stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanism. Properties range from antispectic, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, relaxing and balancing to name a few.
 
Remember: Safety First!
While essential oils have a wide range of benefits, it is important to be safe when using essential oils. Many can be harmful if ingested, so don’t take them orally without consulting an expert. It is not recommended to apply undiluted essential oils directly on the skin; always dilute the oils in an unscented carrier substance, such as water, carrier oil or moisturising lotion before using. Each type of oil has different properties and safety precautions. Check the contraindications of the essential oil to ensure it is suitable for the general health of the person. Essential oils are not a substitute for any medication that have been prescribed by your medical physician.
