5 Ways Essential Oils Can Help You Wake Up In A Better Mood
Danielle De Guzman
Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Of course you do! It’s a rite of passage as a human being to not be in the finest of morning moods. But there’s a way to elevate your mood by natural means, and the answer is essential oils. But you’re probably wondering just how. Well, we’re here to break it down so there’s no mystery.
A Better Night’s Rest
It’s no secret that poor sleep can have you waking up in a bad mood. However, it might not be obvious that essential oils can put you on the right track to a good night’s rest. While there are a bevy of beneficial options, Damiana, Lavandin, Lavender, Chamomile and Sleep Ease are can’t-miss ways to put you in the mindset for great rest.
A Brighter Morning
The perfect aroma can set you off on the path to a great day. Just think about waking up to the smell of breakfast cooking or a hot cup of coffee under your nose. Well, essential oil can work the same way. For an enlivened disposition, get some Bergamot Key Lime, Blood Orange, Awake & Aware or Cilantro diffusing in the A.M. You won’t regret it.
Better Digestion
Ever go to bed with a stomach in knots? That seven-layer dip and hot wings were too good to pass up, we know. Unfortunately, that rumbling tummy might keep you up all night, limiting your sleep. In that case, say hello to Tummy Aid, Digest Ease, Tumeric and Anxiety Ease. Dilute and apply these EOs topically to your stomach for a little relief. Also, remember that stomach issues can occasionally be exacerbated by mental stress, so don’t overlook relaxing EOs like Head Ease and Lavender.
No Sore Muscles
You did your body some good today by hitting the trails for a run. You should be proud of yourself. But when it’s time to turn out the lights, no one enjoys excessively sore muscles and joints. Soothe aches and pains with help from Muscle Relief, Turmeric, Aches & Pains, Yuzu Cannabliss, Buddha Wood and Massage Therapy. These EO options, when properly diluted and applied topically, can ease discomfort and help you get the Zs you’ve earned.
No Congestion
Congestion. It happens to the best of us. Even when you’re ultra-cautious about germs, a vicious cold can sneak up on you. Luckily, there’s aromatherapy options like Deep Breath, Eucalyptus Cardamom, Breathe In, Breathe Out, Douglas Fir and Elemi to help clear nasal pathways so you can breathe easier and sleep better. These EOs won’t cure a cold, but they’ll help ease the nagging symptoms until your body catches up, and that starts with a solid night of sleep.
