One of our favorite oils for sleep and relaxation.  Mandarin’s anti stress properties makes it great to instantly calm and rejuvenate.

Best ways to use Mandarin essential oil:

• Direct Palm / Nasal Inhaler: Place a drop of oil in the palm of your hand, gently rub the hands together, cup your hands around your nose and take a deep breath in through the nose. You can also add several drops to nasal inhaler and breathe in throughout the day. You can repeat multiple times though out the day. (add neroli for a relaxation blend)
