Use the above oils on their own or in combination, to a total of 2 drops only in baths and 10 drops to 30ml base oil for massage oil.

If you experience deep fatigue it is better to use an oil that relaxes as opposed to stimulates, as a sudden rush of stimulation can tire the body further. Use for example marjoram instead of rosemary, and stick to low doses-only 10 drops of essential oil to 30ml vegetable oil.If you experience deep fatigue it is better to use an oil that relaxes as opposed to stimulates, as a sudden rush of stimulation can tire the body further.
