If you’ve ever walked into a home and smelled a soothing fragrance, then you might have been smelling essential oils. There are several uplifting essential oils that can soothe the mind and raise the spirits simply by smelling them. Some oils work better than others, so it’s good to know what to look for when selecting a scent.

 

Peppermint is often one of the stronger scents, but it’s also one of the most calming. You can use the oil in the bathroom while taking a bath to relax the mind after a long day, or you can let the oil waft through the home in the winter as a way to offer a scent for the holiday season.

Lemon is a fragrance that can be combined with other scents to give a refreshing smell while still uplifting the mood. If you’re looking for the ideal combination, then consider blending lavender with lemon. You only need a small amount in an oil burner or a spray bottle to give the desired effects.

Lavender alone can often help in relaxing the mind so that you get a good night’s sleep. You might see lotions and bath products for babies that have lavender in them. They help to calm the baby at night before bed to promote better sleep. If you’re frustrated, then try orange oil. It helps to ease stress while putting the mind at ease, which is something that you might want to try if you work in a stressful job environment or if there are issues that you are dealing with at home.

One of the oils that has a strong scent is spearmint. However, it’s one of the best oils to use if you want to be quickly uplifted during the day. It helps to put the emotions into a better state while giving a boost of energy. This is an oil that can be used by those who play sports or who are active as the scent can give a boost of energy. Rose is a sweet fragrance that is very calming. This is a scent that is sometimes used by women who suffer from PMS on a regular basis as it can help to calm the nerves and balance the hormones.
