Energizing Aromatherapy

Sometimes we just have days where we are low on energy and every single task seems to take everything we've got. It's during moments like this that it's important to have solutions at your fingertips that will perk you up and get a smile on your face.

Aromatherapy is renowned for many things, and being used as an energy booster is just one of the many great things it offers. There are 6 scents noted for their energizing effects:

• Lemon/Orange - uplifting and mood-elevating
• Peppermint - mental stimulant
• Balsam Pine - vitality promoting
• Rosemary - invigorating
• Thyme - refreshing

A good way to make use of these scents is to place some drops of oil on a light bulb, and as the bulb burns the oil will release its scent. You can also boil a pot of water filled with thyme and rosemary, and your house will be filled with an upbeat energy. Also, purchase peppermint scented candles and burn when you are feeling sluggish.

It's much better for your body if you reach for an herb or essential oil than a cup of coffee to wake up your senses! Live well and be well my friends.
