Here’s the 101: Essential oils are the medium of aromatherapy – an age-old practice that uses oils to promote the relationship between smell and emotion. Think of the nostalgic feeling you get when walking down a busy street and a touch of food or perfume takes you back in time. Aroma is strong.
And when we speak of ancient, we also mean it this way: Aromatherapy was used until the ancient Egyptian period around 4500 BC.
You can immerse yourself in aromatherapy right away as long as you keep a few things in mind. Essential oils should never be ingested or applied directly to the skin. For body use, they should be mixed with an oil, serum or cream. All you need to get started is a little inspiration. From start to finish, here’s how to use essential oils to maximize your mindset throughout the day.
Work with peppermint essential oil to energize your day.
Slow climbers, be extra vigilant. Peppermint oil refreshes and stimulates a bit like breath mint. Liven up your morning by sprinkling peppermint oil. Just add a few drops of Nature’s Truth peppermint oil and water to your diffuser. Inhale the fresh, minty aroma while you get ready. As they say – win the morning, win the day.
Clear your head and stay focused with lemon essential oil.
We love lemon for its cleansing properties. Nature’s Truth Lemon Essential Oil has an uplifting, refreshing fragrance that purifies the mind and spirit. Mix a few drops with a carrier oil and rub it on the inside of your wrists. Smell the oil with a few deep breaths and realign your mind. For those moments when you squint in front of a screen or need extra sharpness before a presentation, lemon essential oil is your computer companion.
