Some of my favourite earthy smell combinations are:
– Lavender, patchouli and rosemary
– Lavender, patchouli, sandalwood and frankincense
– Cedar wood, sandalwood and lavender
– Sea buckthorn and honey – you can also add other things to enrich you balms, like rosehip oil, sea buckthorn and honey
– Lavender – can be good for helping with sleep, apply before bed on the temples of the head
– Tea tree, eucalyptus and lavender – these are all antibacterial and antifungal oils, making this balm great for scrapes or damaged skin.
