Not Sure Where to Start with Blending? Here’s Your Ultimate Guide to Essential Oils for Stress, Sleep, and Energy!

Essential oils have the power to transform your wellness routine, and when blended just right, they can create an atmosphere of calm, focus, and vitality. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or simply want to relax, blending essential oils can offer a natural solution to everyday stresses. In this guide, we'll walk you through the basics of blending, highlight our favourite B Calm signature blends, and introduce a new way to pamper your skin and senses with our Personalised Body + Face Care Set.

The Power of Essential Oils: Quick Stress Relief in Just 22 Seconds!

Did you know essential oils can start working to relieve stress in just 22 seconds? When inhaled, the aromas send signals to the limbic brain, the emotional control centre, instantly helping you to relax and re-centre. Within 2 minutes, they enter the bloodstream, circulating throughout your body, and within 20 minutes, they can support the body’s natural healing process.

That’s the beauty of essential oils! They offer immediate relief and promote lasting calm—perfect for your busy life.

B Calm’s Signature Blends for Every Need

At B Calm, we’ve crafted three signature essential oil blends that align with your well-being needs throughout the day. Here’s how to use them:

1. Breathe Calm (Uplift & Calm)

   • How to Use: Diffuse, apply to your wrists, or mix with a carrier oil for a soothing massage.

2. Live Calm (Energy & Immunity)
   Revitalise your energy with Peppermint, Lemon, and Eucalyptus. This blend is perfect for keeping you focused and awake while supporting your immune system. Whether you're at work or heading into a workout, this uplifting blend will keep you energised.

We’re thrilled to introduce a new, customisable way to support your skin and overall wellness: the Personalised Body + Face Care Set.

Whether you want to soothe stressed skin or nourish your face and body, this trio allows you to tailor the experience to your needs.

The Set Includes:

1. Hydrating Mist – Choose between Lavender (for calming and soothing) or Rose (for hydration and balance).

2. Organic Carrier Oil – Select from Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Grapeseed, Sesame, or Castor Oil for nourishing hydration and skin protection.

3. Essential Oil Blend – Choose from Breathe Calm, Live Calm, or Rest Calm to add to your oil or mist for added wellness benefits.

How to Create Your Own Self-Care Ritual

1. Step 1 – Choose your hydrating mist (30ml face or 100ml body) and carrier oil (30ml face or 100ml body).

2. Step 2 – Add 10 drops of your preferred essential oil blend to your mist or oil, or both! (We recommend 10 drops to 30ml or 30 drops to 100ml).

3. Step 3 – Mist your skin and massage the oil into your face and body in gentle, circular motions towards the heart.

4. Bonus Tip – For extra relaxation, add ½ tbsp of oil to your bath, then follow up with the mist and massage. You can also use your carrier oil as to makeup remover! (without the essential oils added will irritate eyes!)
