Now that Daylight Savings has ended, the sun is going down before 4:30 where I live, which seems positively criminal. Do you have difficulty keeping your spirits up when the days get dark? Here are 6 essential oils (although there are dozens of others!) that help banish the doom and gloom.
Bergamot is known for its ability to lift spirits and reduce feelings of stress. This is a wonderful oil to add to a diffuser on its own or in combination with other mood-enhancing oils.
Jasmine is my go-to essential oil for low mood. This oil comes in a roller bottle and is perfect to use as a "pure-fume" or personal scent... not to mention that it's doing some heavy lifting for you.
Melissa is famous for its anti-viral properties, and when you diffuse it, it's fantastic for easing anxious feelings and promoting a sense of calm.
Grapefruit increases energy, brightens mood and promotes feelings of self acceptance & joy. I love to use this oil in a diffuser blend with Douglas Fir and Frankincense.
Lemon boosts positive thinking and refreshes the mind. Use it in all the ways: cleaning sprays, room sprays, dishwater (it's great for cutting grease!) and even in your drinking water. Every time you smell it, you're getting a mood boost.
Wild Orange inspires creativity and a positive mood. This is my absolute favourite citrus oil. I love the taste, and I love to combine it with just about any other oil to diffuse and lift my spirits. It's like a smile in a bottle!
