Mandarin, in harmony with other gentle aromas like chamomile, clary sage and sandalwood, can quieten an overactive mind and promote restful sleep. Along­side relaxation techniques, try these recipes for a night of sweet dreams:

Mandarin Tranquillity Blend

• 5 ml diluted mandarin oil
• 5 ml sweet almond oil
• 1 drop pure chamomile essential oil
• 1 drop pure clary sage essential oil

Gently massage a small amount of the blend into the back of the neck, onto the chest and over the solar plexus (where the rib-cage makes a v-shape).

Mandarin Mist

• Plastic funnel
• 25 ml orange flower water
• 3 drops pure mandarin essential oil
• 2 drops pure clary sage essential oil
• 1 drop pure sandalwood essential oil

Use a funnel to pour the orange flower water into a small plant mister or atomizer bottle. Add the essential oils and shake well. Just before bedtime, lightly spray your pillow and sheets, and allow to dry.
