4. Add Rosemary Oil to Bathwater
Did you have a rough day at the office? Are you feeling drained and ready for bed? Finish off your day by relaxing in a hot bath, with some rosemary oil extract. Run your bath water and add five or six drops of rosemary oil. You’ll notice the aroma of the oil wafting through the bathroom as you breathe in the steam.
The polyphenols in rosemary are what give it its characteristic smell. These antioxidants go to work in removing free radicals from the bloodstream, eliminating the signs of fatigue and stress. Taking a hot bath with some rosemary oil can help you ease tension and anxiety built up during the day.
Relax in the water for 20-minutes until the heat starts to fade, and then dry yourself off, and use some rosemary oil-infused body lotion to hydrate your skin. This rosemary therapy will make it easy to fall asleep, and you’ll gain more therapeutic value from your rest.
