If you are feeling drained and anxious, sad or generally run down, the right bath can help.

Orange essential oil is a wonderful mood lifter. The oil is extracted from the peel of oranges and contains many antidepressant properties and has been scientifically proven to help reduce heart rate and cortisol levels.

What will I need?

500ml/2 cups coconut oil
250g/1 cup Epsom salts
5 drops of orange oil

How does it work?

Run your bath but don’t step in right away.
Splash your body first with water to dampen your skin before rubbing this orangey body scrub head to toe in circular motions.
Soak for at least 15 minutes so that the oils have time to take effect.
