At NW Corporate Wellness, we love helping employees find simple, hands-on ways to unwind and reconnect with their well-being — whether that’s through chair massage, guided workshops, or take-home wellness kits. This month, we’re spotlighting one of our favorite self-care activities: DIY essential oil recipes!
These quick and natural blends are perfect for supporting wellness at home or in the office. From invigorating scrubs to relaxing soaks, they bring a little calm and creativity into your day.
✨ Build Your Own Body Scrub
A natural body scrub is one of the easiest and most satisfying DIY wellness treats. It exfoliates the skin, boosts circulation, and leaves you feeling refreshed and renewed — a great reset after a long workday.
You’ll need:
½ cup carrier oil (coconut, olive, or almond oil)
½ cup salt (Epsom or sea salt)
1 tablespoon honey
6–10 drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix everything together and adjust to your preferred texture or scent. Lavender or eucalyptus oils are great for relaxation, while citrus oils add an energizing kick.
(For group events, this recipe can easily be scaled up — for example, multiplying by 30 makes enough for team workshops or wellness gift kits.)

🌼 Why We Love Essential Oils at Work
Essential oils can do more than just smell nice — they promote focus, relieve stress, and create a calm, uplifting environment. Simple DIYs like these are ideal for team wellness events, employee appreciation days, or mindful breaks during busy seasons.
When employees take part in activities that engage the senses and encourage creativity, they leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and more connected — to themselves and each other.
