As promised yesterday, today we are starting a mini-series of lessons on aromatherapy. For convenience, they are divided into scent profiles, but each scent naturally has many more properties and combinations. More information on this will follow in my book on aromatherapy.
Please let me know what you think of this first concise info email :-) so I know where I can make adjustments.
Here we go!
Need to concentrate in your home office? These essential oils will help you!
Essential oils can make your home, and certainly your home office, smell wonderful. A well-chosen scent can immediately give you a welcome, warm, and secure feeling. But did you also know that aromatherapy does more for you than just provide a pleasant fragrance?
A carefully selected essential oil (or a mix of different oils) can positively influence your mood, both in your diffuser and in your Skin Washes.
In our 5-part series, we would like to highlight a few essential oils, divided into 5 important categories.
Today we would like to highlight the scents that help you focus and provide energy!
Lemongrass is an absolute top essential oil with its fresh scent.
Lemongrass can remove negativity from the air, which we sometimes need now that we all have to work from home in combination with our private lives.
Lemongrass also has a calming effect and helps with feelings of irritation and even anxiety.
Lemongrass can help with emotional exhaustion and excessive stress.
It is a scent that stimulates and gives you more energy.
Rosemary
Rosemary really can't be missing from the list of scents that help you focus, because rosemary is a true memory booster!
Do you have a lot of information to process or do you have an important, challenging meeting on the agenda? A few drops of rosemary can give you just the extra boost you need.
Moreover, this scent helps to clear your head, allowing you to dive in with a fresh mind!
Rosemary can also give your self-confidence a push and boost your trust in the future.
It gives you extra energy and also stimulates your central nervous system so you are ready to go!
Peppermint
Who isn't refreshed and invigorated by the scent of mint?
Peppermint can ensure that you don't suffer from a mental slump in the afternoon and can help you stay awake throughout the day - even in a digital meeting, you want to be fresh and alert, right?!
This invigorating scent stimulates your concentration, puts you in a good mood, and counteracts fatigue. In short, mint gives you more emotional balance.
Did you know that mint can also help you recognize the feeling of being full and satisfied after a meal more quickly? This way, mint helps against overeating. A nice bonus now that those corona pounds are lurking around the corner again.
Mint can therefore be a great support in a weight loss program.
Basil
Basil can also support your concentration.
It gives you an open and fresh perspective on the challenges you face and helps you tackle them instead of avoiding them.
Basil can help sharpen your senses and thus give your concentration a serious boost.
Basil can also provide relief from stress as it can rebalance your nerves.
Lemon
Lemon certainly cannot be missing from this list!
Lemon has a strong stimulating effect.
This fresh scent refreshes and invigorates your mind, allowing you to concentrate with a clear head.
It can restore your emotional balance and, in addition to its stimulating effect, also has a calming effect!
If you choose 1 or more essential oils from the scents above (you can also combine them wonderfully), you won't know what to do with all that energy, concentration, and wild ideas!
You can also score all these essential oils from the comfort of your couch in our webshop! These also count towards the gift promotion with the Magical Blue Blanket worth €69.
Do you have any questions or want to know more about how to combine these scents well?
Call me at 0498/93.32.35 because I'd be happy to explain it to you in great detail (pun intended!) :-)
Concentrated regards
Maarten
