Certain scents have not only been used historically, but also been proven scientifically to activate cognitive functions, memory recall, learning ability, and behavior regulation. Here are 4 key essential oils that can help you turn your mood around, instantly.
Lemon: “the light”
When you add lemon essential oil to a blend, it acts as a spark plug that ignites light, electricity, and energy. It can help you when you feel lost, in the darkness, confused and defeated. 1-3 drops in a blend will light the way to help you find yourself and discover what lights you up.
Rosemary: “the circulation mover”
When you add rosemary essential oil to a blend it gives it a boost of oxygen to stimulate circulation and get things moving keeping them from being stuck and sluggish. It promotes memory recall, to help you remember why you are so special and unique. In a world where people are trying to mimic other people, this remind you to be yourself and that you ARE enough.
Orange: “the creative instigator”
When you add orange essential oil to a blend it inspires your fun, creative and spontaneous side. It helps to lighten the mood from being too serious, over-worrying, and bogged down in duty and responsibility. It is also an adrenal support giving energy to do fun things that make you happy and productive.
Cedar: “the strength builder”
