When looking for a natural energy boost, essential oils may provide just what’s needed. Essential oils have been known to rev up senses, reduce fatigue and depression symptoms and even enhance one’s mood – perfect for when your day needs a lift!

Essential oils have been scientifically shown to stimulate certain areas of your limbic system and provide natural energy boost. Read up on some of the top essential oils for energy!

Peppermint

Peppermint oil’s refreshing scent helps boost mood and increase alertness, while its cooling sensation also relieves nausea, reduces feelings of tension, and soothes irritated skin.

This refreshing oil contains the constituents menthol and menthone that give it its natural energy-boosting qualities, providing its cool aroma as an energy booster by diffusing in the air, applying topically or inhaling through a personal inhaler. Furthermore, it may be added to carrier oils for massaging into neck or head tension or used as part of an uplifting foot soak treatment.

As part of your morning or afternoon routine to help combat fatigue or midday slumps. Additionally, this oil can also be combined with other energizing oils like Wild Orange and Lemon to form the doTERRA Motivate Essential Oil Blend.

Bergamot

Bergamot oil is extracted from the peels of the Bergamot citrus tree, which produces yellow, pear-shaped fruit that looks similar to lemons and limes. Bergamot is often included in Earl Grey tea blends and its zesty citrusy aroma is said to increase energy levels.

Inhaling bergamot essential oil vapors has been shown to ease nervous tension and act as a natural stress reliever, while simultaneously providing relaxation benefits and helping alleviate depression, which often contributes to depleted energy levels.

Studies have demonstrated that bergamot oils and extracts stimulate the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of anxiety. Furthermore, bergamot stimulates hormones which decrease sensations of pain, making it ideal for relieving headaches, sprains and soreness. Furthermore, its antiseptic properties make bergamot an invaluable aid for treating burns, wounds and sores.

Sweet Orange

Sweet orange essential oil offers an invigorating citrus scent to instantly lift your mood and fill the air. Its soothing fragrance helps alleviate anxiety and depression while supporting healthy digestion.

Limonene and myrcene content make this oil an excellent anti-inflammatory treatment for skin conditions such as acne. Furthermore, its antibacterial properties help combat microbial infections that could otherwise arise and protect against fungal diseases that could develop like athlete’s foot.

Add a few drops of orange essential oil to your diffuser or DIY cleaning products to freshen the air and support healthy breathing. Or apply diluted to wrists or temples for an immediate energy boost; especially helpful during afternoon slumps!

Cedarwood

Cedarwood’s nostalgic scent brings back fond memories of pleasant evenings in nature, making it a favourite aromatherapy choice to bring peace and calmness to hyperactive children. Cedarwood may also help empaths avoid being exposed to energies of people trying to harm them and establish balance between spirit and physical self.

Colorless to pale yellow liquid with medium viscosity, balsamico has a sweet woody scent featuring balsamico tones with subtle camphor notes for an aromatic experience. Its soothing aroma has been shown to enhance cerebral activity while relaxing body muscles, increasing concentration, and decreasing hyperactivity levels.

Mane Kancor’s Cedarwood Oil features sesquiterpene compounds like cedrene and thujopsene that promote grounding and emotional balance. Dilute a few drops with carrier oil before massaging onto neck and shoulders to calm your mind.

Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia essential oil is widely renowned for its relaxing and calming properties, making it a highly popular sleep support ingredient. But its essential oil also provides energy boosts when inhaled or applied topically – providing both relaxation and revitalization at once!

Cis-bocimene has been shown to increase energy levels, reduce fatigue, drowsiness and depression as well as help increase physical strength.

Lavender can be combined with citrusy oils such as peppermint and sweet orange to produce an uplifting effect, such as diffuser use. Lavender works best as part of your morning ritual for fighting off morning grogginess while simultaneously increasing motivation levels, or at work during mid-day slumps to combat midday slump.
