By surrounding yourself with natural aromas from flowers and using essential oils in a diffuser, you can induce the feeling you want to create. For example, essential oils that contain a high quantity of the chemical compound ester have relaxing benefits. I would recommend these if you are having a difficult time sleeping or are experiencing anxiety. On the other hand, if you are having a hard time staying awake you can use essential oils that contains phenols, which are stimulating.
Stimulating essential oils that contain a high % of phenols:
- Basil
- Bay Leaf
- Cinnamon
- Clove
- Creeping Hyssop
- Eucalyptus
- Parsley
- Peppermint
- Niaouli
- Oregano
- Spike Lavender
- Tea Tree
- Thyme
