One of the most dangerous things you can do is drive a car. In the United States alone, more than forty thousand people die on the roadways each year. That’s why it’s a great idea for everyone to set the intention to be a safe and courteous driver.
Of course, driving can be extremely stressful, especially in urban areas with tons of traffic and distracting noise. Aromatherapy can help you stay calm while driving, avoiding things like road rage, which can affect how safely you drive and how you interact with other drivers. Put water in a spray bottle and add a few drops of lavender essential oil. Shake the bottle and mist the inside of your car with the fragrant blend. If you like, add some lemon or mint essential oil to also keep you more alert behind the wheel.
