There may come a time in your life where unexpected events trigger physical changes such as hair loss, body chemistry changes, olfactory changes, or some physical or emotional aspect that affects your body or mood.

I experienced hair loss for the first time in 2024 for about six months. My saving grace was to purchase a scent from citrus, lemon, flower, salt, woods, and ocean. Lemon stabilized my body when I had extreme sensory issues or hair loss from body stress or chemicals. I utilized a lemon shampoo and Dr Teals Lemon Balm as my first layering of scents. My bathroom is equivalent to the yellow Care Bear with the rainbow on his chest. Don’t be afraid to bathe like a child playing in the bathtub, mixing multiple ingredients.

I decided that having me and my bathroom smelling like a woodsy florist shop was far more satisfying to my stress level and senses than worrying about the final smell product of my body chemistry. Lemon is a primary scent for resetting your body to a controlled state. Don’t be afraid to use Lemon Balm body wash in your hair to allow the brain and body to consume lemon in large quantities.

Lemon smells excellent mixed with Dr Teals Glow & Radiance Orange. Lemon followed by an orange scent is uplifting and refreshing. The same philosophy applies to essential oils.

A great woodsy scent is bergamot or sandalwood. Salt & Stone carries a few scents where the bergamot can smell masculine yet feminine. It is a warm, inviting product line that is unisex. The Every Man Jack is a men’s line that has an excellent rain, cedar wood, and sandalwood that can be unisex but I don’t recommend mixing this product line with multiple products as they are stronger in olfactory sense.

One of my all time favorites is the eucalyptus Thymes. This brand should not be mixed with multiple products. You will be satisfied with the outcome. It smells divine and is one of the best eucalyptus smells on earth!

Dr Teal’s Pink Himalayan Salt is very healing. Mix florals, ocean, or citrus scents with this product and allow your body to relax in the moment. Native is another brand that has a Sea Salt & Cedar, Citrus, Lilac, and more. I choose to mix These brands together and if I need to reset my body during shower or bath, I use a Dove Exfoliator bar soap and continue showering until mood or physical symptoms reside.

I am a firm believer that water can heal our bodies. The earth produces plants that can cure illnesses. Why not shower yourself with love and don’t be afraid to become a kid again in the shower. Your body is experiencing trauma. Many times this can occur with cancer patients; love yourself and test your senses after your treatments.

With gratitude and love! Wash away the depression, wash away the tears, smell like a rainbow of colors!
