Ever experienced feeling so happy one moment and then the next instant the complete opposite? Isn’t it frustrating having your relationships with others affected by your severe mood swings? No need to worry any further, the solution that you may need may be found with the use of some Magnolia essential oil.
Mood swings are common in those who are usually exposed to a whole lot of stress, women being more prone to changing moods. A telltale sign is that a person may be very happy one moment, and at the next instant is instantly utterly depressed over some reason that is usually shallow in nature. Anti-depressants may do the job, but the side effects that come with them may be a lot more than some of us may be able to handle. Why not go the natural route and use Magnolia oil to help you feel more calm and relaxed? Magnolia essential oil has properties that help calm a tensed or over-hyped person. Its versatility is another advantage since it can be used in a number of ways according to your desire.
Love whole body massages? Add a drop or two into some carrier oil and massage away all that pent up stress and let yourself feel the calming effects of Magnolia paired with a delicate scent that is sure to do more than relax your mind and body. Can’t wait to immerse yourself in tour bathtub again? Why not try and add a few drops of magnolia oil into your bath water and have your skin protected naturally with its moisturizing properties. Not only will you smell of Magnolia flowers but have beautiful skin as well.
When used in aromatherapy, Magnolia essential oil can help relieve respiratory tract problems and infections such as colds and coughs. In addition, it can also help relieve the symptoms associated with gout, and rheumatism, making it ideal even for the older ones to use and apply on their skin.
Those who are smokers and want to break the habit can find this essential oil helpful since it helps chain smokers break the bad habit and both their lungs and the atmosphere a huge favor.
Putting some magnolia oil into an atomizer and mixing it with a little alcohol and a dose of vodka to emulsify the oils will give your own natural room deodorizer. Not only will it give your pillows and linens the delicate scent of fresh Magnolia flowers, it will also help create a unique atmosphere of calm and awareness. Now, your room will not only be conducive for a good night’s sleep but for some quality bonding time with loved ones as well.
