Here are some essential oils that assist with your Qi Gong and forest bathing practices:
- Sandalwood – Clinical research has shown that inhalation of sandalwood essential oil may reduce anxiety and promote improved blood pressure. Try diffusing sandalwood in the room while practicing active or passive Qi Gong.
- Neroli – The essential oil distilled from the flower of the neroli plant has a pleasant floral aroma that can help manage anxiousness and promote a vigorous mood. Rub 2–3 drops of neroli essential oil between your palms and directly inhale before heading out on your favorite mountain trail.
