What essential oils help you wake you up? If you are like me, you like to start the day with a cup of coffee and a shower. Unfortunately it isn’t always easy to get out of bed, that's where essential oils can help you.
It’s not just important to have a good night’s sleep and take care of yourself during the day, it’s also important to start your day off right. Essential oils are a popular way to help you wake up in the morning.
Citrus oils such as lemon and grapefruit are the most common oils in this category. These help to wake up your senses and get you moving.
What Essential Oils Help You Wake Up?
As many of you know, essential oils are a great way to help you start your day refreshed and ready to tackle the day’s tasks. Pure, potent, and beloved by many for their healing properties, essential oils can promote alertness and energy.
Here are four of the best essential oils to help you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
1. Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon essential oil is a must for anyone who has a long day ahead. It's one of the most popular essential oils for good reason. Not only does it smell amazing, but it's also incredibly versatile. When it comes to promoting alertness and energy, lemon oil is second to none.
Simply add a few drops of lemon oil to your diffuser in the morning and inhale deeply for an instant boost. You can also dilute lemon oil with water in a spray bottle and spritz it around your home or office for an invigorating pick-me-up.
2. Peppermint Essential Oil
If you're looking for an essential oil that will really give you a wake-up call, look no further than peppermint oil. This potent oil has a refreshing, cooling effect that is perfect for those mornings when you just can't seem to get going.
Add a few drops of peppermint to your diffuser or create a refreshing body spray by adding it to water in a spray bottle. You can even apply diluted peppermint oil directly to your skin for an energizing aromatherapy massage.
3. Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary oil is another great option for promoting alertness and energy. This herbaceous oil has a fresh, earthy scent that is both invigorating and uplifting. Diffuse rosemary oil in the morning or add it to lotion and apply it directly to your skin.
You can also create a Rosemary-infused salt scrub by adding a few drops of rosemary oil to coconut oil and sea salt. Rub the scrub onto your skin in the shower for an invigorating start to your day.
4. Grapefruit Essential Oil
Finally, grapefruit oil is always a good choice when you need a little boost of energy. You can add grapefruit oil to water in a spray bottle and spritz them around your home or office whenever you need a pick-me-up throughout the day.
