Another gift guide recommendation over on my gram story polls!! Many of you were interested in getting wellness gift ideas so I am so excited about the round up! These gifts help remind people about the importance of self-care and emotional balance. Over the last few years it has become abundantly clear that wellness is more than just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. With self-care top-of-mind, priorities are shifting for many and a need for new daily practices and products is setting in. So, why not give a wellness gift this holiday season?!

  1. Vagus Nerve Oil- Melt away signs of stress. OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Oil helps promote a sense of well being. This soothing blend of essential oils calms for a moment of relaxation and balance during your day. The vagus nerve activates the body’s relaxation response and helps regulate stress. Named after the Latin word for “wandering,” the vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body. I use mine before bed every single night and it has done wonders for my sleep routine and has helped tremendously with my tension headaches.

They coat the salts with organic oils infused with wild lavender they have grown and harvested themselves. Finally, they top it off with an aromatherapy blend that practically makes your problems disappear. Lavender and marjoram are the two powerhouses in this blend, chosen for their abilities to calm the mind and heal the body. From sore muscles to an overly busy mind, slipping into our Recovery Salt Bath will nudge you into your peaceful place. The Serenity Milk Bath is a buttermilk powder with organic oats, and baking soda combined with organic and wild-harvested essential oils make for a sublime natural bath experience. (Cleopatra was famous for taking milk baths, and had, by all reports, exceptionally beautiful skin.) This buttery powder instantly transforms the water into a luxurious, skin-conditioning milk. Dead skin cells are sloughed away by the milk acids and the gentle scent of lavender, rose geranium, and chamomile will soften your mood as well...! Both are from Osmia Organics and they are one of my favorite brands ever! See for yourself here…I have written quite a few articles!
