Here is a starting point with common reasons people choose to use essential oils. 

Time To De-Stress

Stress, tension, anxiety and worry: states we so often find ourselves in. The modern world is full of noise and pressure. It is important now more than ever to carve out some time for solitude and self-care. 

Essential oils can work to restore the connection to the earth, helping with grounding us in the present moment and calming racing, circular thoughts. 

Frankincense can help deepen the breath, which in turn slows us down and connects us to the present moment. Soothing feelings of panic and detachment, can often cause fast breathing. 

Energetically, mandarin oil works by connecting the stressed adult to their inner child, whilst helping lift the heaviness associated with adult pressure, helping to cut through circular and racing thoughts.

Time To Energise

Low energy states can be addressed with energising, awakening and powerful essential oils. 

Peppermint is a powerful menthol essential oil that can work to clear the mind and refresh. 

Lime is another powerful essential oil and its zesty aroma is refreshing and energising, helping to awaken the senses, invigorating the mind.

Grapefruit cuts through stagnation energetically, helping to restore movement and flow.

Time To Unwind

Relaxation can be promoted with soothing and calming essential oils: those that bring stillness to the mind and bring down the energy from the day.

Lavender oil is the classic essential oil of sleep and relaxation. It is popular for a reason: lavender essential oil is sure to calm and lull you into a state of peaceful rest.

Vetiver is an earthy, grounding essential oil, bringing us energetically back into our bodies and out of our busy minds, enabling space to find tranquillity.

Time To Focus

If you are having trouble concentrating, certain essential oils can assist with focussing on the task at hand and clearing the mind from distractions. 

Rosemary is well known for its ability to boost concentration and memory. Rosemary oil is often used whist studying and for memory recall. This energising and invigorating oil is the perfect oil to reach for when working to a deadline.

Although essential oils are suitable for most people, If you have a health condition or are looking to use essential oils during pregnancy or with children, it is advisable to consult with a professional aromatherapist, just to check for any contraindications and which oils are best for this particular circumstance. Essential oils all come with different precautions and uses, if in doubt ask a professional. Visit our Essential Oils Safety page for more detailed guidance.
