Balm
Sometimes we need a little help to soothe and calm our active minds, especially at the end of a particularly demanding day.
The ingredients in this balm promote relaxation and will help you fall into a restful and refreshing slumber.
Balms can be applied to wherever you wish but the inside of your wrists, inner elbows and temples are recommended.
Remember this is not an exact science. We will give you rough proportions, but you will all greatly benefit from a little experimentation to find the right mix for you.
