Birchbox Breakdown
The next time you’re feeling less-than-stellar, go for aromatherapy (rather than the usual retail or cookie therapy). Housed in sleek glass rollerball vials, 21 drops Aromatherapy Blends are designed to heal the effects of common ailments and boost your wellbeing. Each blend is made from 100 percent natural, therapeutic-grade essential oils that have been sourced from artisan distillers around the world. We’re particularly fond of Focus, Invigorate, and Sleep—used at different points of the day, of course!
How it Works
The appropriately named Focus uses rosemary leaf oil, peppermint leaf oil, and a touch of frankincense to help you concentrate. A mix of cedar wood, rosemary leaf, black pepper, and juniper fruit oils, Invigorate is an energizing blend. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Sleep is a soothing concoction of sandalwood, ylang ylang, palmarosa, and vetiver root oils that will quiet your racing mind before bed.
How to Use
Dab a few drops of oil whenever you need a mood enhancer. For best results apply Focus to your temples, back and the sides of your neck. Dab Invigorate on your temples, the back of your neck, and collarbone. Sleep should be applied to your temples, wrists, neck, and right under your nose. For each blend, breathe in deeply and take in the soothing aromas.
