Aromatherapy To Start Your Morning

Start Your Morning Off Right With Essential Oils And Aromatherapy

Do you often feel exhausted in the morning? Do you reach for a cup of coffee as soon as you wake up? If so, you’re not alone. Many people rely on caffeine to help them start their day. However, did you know that there are other ways to wake up that are both energizing and uplifting? Essential oils can be a great way to start your morning off right. This blog post will discuss how aromatherapy can help you wake up and feel more energized.

Reaching For Caffeine?

If you reach for a caffeinated drink like coffee first thing in the morning, you may not be giving your body the best chance to wake up. Caffeine can have adverse effects on your health, especially if you drink it every day. It can lead to problems such as anxiety, insomnia, and heartburn. Additionally, too much caffeine can also dehydrate you, which is not ideal when you’re trying to wake up.

Aromatherapy To The Rescue

There are other ways to get energized and uplifted in the morning. Essential oils are a great way to do this. Certain essential oils are energizing and uplifting, while others are more calming and relaxing. Citrus oils, such as lemon or lime oil, are particularly energizing and uplifting. Minty oils, such as peppermint or spearmint oil, can help to energize your mind with both clarity and focus. Let’s take a bit more detailed look below.

Energizing And Uplifting Essential oils

Citrus Essential Oils

Citrus oils are wonderful at energizing you and providing you with an uplifting feeling. This variety of oils is typically loaded with limonene (d). This compound stimulates the activation of white blood cells and acts as an immunostimulant. 

Some excellent citrus oils for your morning are:

Sweet Orange oil (Citrus sinensis)

Lime oil (Citrus aurantifolia)

Lemon oil (Citrus limon)

Wild Orange oil (Citrus sinensis)
