reducing mucus and loosening up congestion.
To create steam inhalation: Place one to two drops in a
small bowl of steaming hot water. Drape a towel over your head to focus the steam
and stand with your head at least an arm’s width away from the bowl. Close your
eyes and breathe in deeply, allowing the vapor to enter your nose. Inhale the
steam for five to 10 minutes.

Eucalyptus oil can clear your airways and allow more oxygen
into your lungs, which can boost energy and promote mental clarity.
Diffuse five drops at home or work to refocus.

Thanks to the anti-inflammatory benefits of eucalyptus oil,
it can work wonders if your muscles are sore after a workout or if you suffer

argan, or jojoba oil) and rub it on the sore area in a circular motion.

What is a carrier oil
and how is it used together with essential oils?
Because essential oils are incredibly concentrated, they
should almost always be diluted in a carrier oil, specifically when used
topically.
Carrier oils dilute the essential oils and help “carry” them
into the skin.
Here are some of the added benefits you will get from using Mekis Grape seed oil as a carrier oil

As we age, our scalp naturally decreases its production of sebum, an oily substance that helps with hair shine and health.
Adding your own oil can counter that, especially grapeseed oil, which contains natural conditioning agents that work from the inside out to add luster.
Plus, for a temporary shine boost, oils coat each strand, letting the light bounce off your hair.
