Essential oils are concentrated compounds that can be inhaled directly or diluted and applied topically, offering various health benefits such as increasing energy and relieving fatigue.

Before or during lunch, use energizing oils to combat fatigue or boost alertness, or try an all-natural blend featuring Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Basil for optimal results.

Peppermint

Peppermint essential oil’s stimulating properties come from its naturally energizing constituents: menthol and caffeine-like components, along with its pleasant minty aroma that can awaken and rev up energy naturally without producing unwanted jitters or crashes associated with synthetic stimulants.

Recent research discovered that inhaling peppermint oil increased energy levels and reduced malondialdehyde levels (a marker for lipid peroxidation and inflammation) among exercise-exhausted subjects, suggesting it may help promote cell energy production.

This oil can be applied topically or directly inhaled before hitting the gym, or used during an intense workout to calm your mind and boost performance. It is also an excellent way to overcome an afternoon slump!

Lemon

Lemon’s bright aroma has long been recognized for its stimulating properties. You can use it alone or combine it with similar oils for an essential oil blend that can be applied topically or via inhalation.

Lemon contains several ingredients, including limonene, camphene and b-pinene which combine to stimulate, anti-inflamatory, analgesic and astringent effects that make lemon an excellent way to relieve fatigue, stress and promote mental clarity.

Lemon oil when inhaled can also help elevate levels of norepinephrine, an organic chemical belonging to the catecholamine family that acts both as a hormone and neurotransmitter in both the body and brain. Low norepinephrine levels can lead to fatigue, depression and poor focus; essential oils provide an organic alternative for caffeine-based energy drinks or supplements, offering natural relief while still offering mental stimulation – they may even be eaten! It is best to consult a professional regarding an appropriate dosage in each method used.

Basil

Basil essential oil possesses antiseptic and anti-inflammatory compounds to keep skin in good health, and may reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases.

As with peppermint, basil helps increase alertness and energy levels by stimulating natural stimulant properties that reduce fatigue and improve concentration, as well as improving exercise performance by relaxing bronchial muscles, increasing airflow, and improving oxygen concentration in the brain.

Research on basil is still limited, yet preliminary studies indicate it could help prevent liver and stomach cancers, prevent UV light damage to cells, and increase antioxidant activity. If taking medication or having medical conditions, consult with your healthcare provider prior to trying herbal remedies or essential oils during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis is an evergreen shrub widely recognized for its ability to combat fatigue and mental strain. The essential oil derived from it contains cineole and is widely considered one of the best energy-enhancing oils on the market, stimulating cholinergic activity while attenuating inflammation-associated mediators synthesis.

Rosemary essential oil has long been recognized for its balancing and mood-enhancing effects, which makes it a sought-after way to relieve stress and improve memory and focus. Furthermore, this antispasmodic and pain relieving agent contains both rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid; these two components may help relieve antispasmogenic issues as well as pain related issues like carnosic acid-induced spasms; it also increases muscle blood flow to ease neuropathic discomfort.

Start your day right by trying our Organic Energy Essential Oil Blend to banish morning grogginess or after lunch to combat midday slumps. Please remember all essential oils must be diluted prior to being applied topically or inhaled; always consult a health care provider prior to beginning any new regimen, especially an essential oil one.
