46 DIY Ways to Elevate Your Aromatherapy at Home + On the Go

If there's one thing we've learned in the past few years at Hello Glow, it's that there's always room for aromatherapy. Even in the smallest of spaces, even at the office, in the car, in the shower, or in a hotel room. From pain relief blends in a roll on, to an uplifting citrus scent as you deboard the plane after a long flight, there's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the benefits of essential oils as you please.

We've rounded up some of the best ways you can use essential oils for aromatherapy, and we're positive you'll find at least one method that suits your lifestyle. Oh, and most of these make great DIY gifts, too!

An unassuming way of boosting your senses, as busy as you might be: in the shower. We know you think you don't have time for that, but we also think you actually do. Just hop in the shower as per usual, and let shower bombs, tablets or melts do their work.
