shoulder rub for mom

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-0140


Tonight, switch roles a little: you give mom a shoulder rub. Bergamot opens fresh and pleasant for all ages, while Roman chamomile, lavender and geranium follow as a soft, gentle layer of herbs and flowers. The blend suits the family living room after dinner. Put the diffuser in a corner of the room, play some of the old songs mom loves, and get started.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
