To aid meditation
Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and create a safe space for fresh new thinking to emerge. Amyris’s euphoric properties make it a great oil for using with meditation to enhance creativity. As part of your meditative practice, you could add this oil to the mix by creating a Meditation Mist to clear the space around you and to spritz over yourself before you start!
Mix 10 drops Amyris, 10 drops Cedarwood and 10 drops Neroli with 100ml water or Orange Flower Hydrolat in a spray bottle and use before and during meditation as required
Dry & mature skincare
Add 1 drop of Amyris to 5ml of cleanser, toner and moisturiser to help rehydrate and renew your skin! Alternatively, check out our cosmetic skincare bases and pop a drop into 5ml of those!
To aid detoxification
Amyris is quite a stimulating oil for the body and can therefore help with cleansing. It is also good for the digestive system, stimulating things to move through faster! If you’re needing to detoxify and speed things up try this cleansing massage blend.
Firstly, take a body brush and use it in little strokes up your body, moving in the direction towards the heart. Then, add 2 drops Amyris, 2 drops Lemon and 2 drops Grapefruit to 15ml Grapeseed oil, mix well and massage into your body, in the same upwards direction!
