If you have sensitive skin, you know how hard it can be to manage as well as find safe, non-irritating products to use. Redness, soreness, itching, and even flaking can be the dreaded side effects that arise from having sensitive skin. So, this may leave you wondering what Essential Oils are good for your particular type of skin and what carrier oils or topical items are best. Let’s dive in on this subject and find out some ideas on how to care for sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin is defined (by the Delphi method) as the occurrence of unpleasant sensations in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. This may include stinging, burning, pain, pruritus and tingling. Essentially, it is referring to skin that is more prone to inflammation. Often, the key to tackling this issue is knowing what triggers your sensitivity. Oftentimes, dyes, artificial fragrance, and chemical-laden products are the culprit.  By paying attention over time to what affects your skin, you can easily understand what products you can and can’t use topically.

Can You Use Essential Oils on Sensitive Skin?

As you know, Essential Oils are volatile compounds that are extracted from plants. This makes them incredibly potent as well. With that, it is important for you to know the correct and safe way to use them… on sensitive skin especially. Essential Oils are incredible for “normal” skin, as explained in this article, but what about more delicate skin?

The key to using these therapeutic oils with your special skin type is making sure you are using gentle and beneficial Essential Oils. Not only that, you also need to ensure that you are applying them topically with a nourishing carrier oil. These should be mild, moisturizing, and help to calm inflammation. More information on using Essential Oils topically here.

It is also pertinent to note that you should use a very low ratio of Essential Oils to carrier oil. We recommend starting with only 1% and seeing how your skin responds. If it handles it well, 2-3% should be the maximum while continuing with only 1% on the face. That is another reason why the quality of the carrier really matters. To learn more about diluting your oils, check out this blog.

Best Carrier Oils for Sensitive Skin:

• Grapeseed Oil– very lightweight and hypoallergenic, high in fatty acids and Vitamin E
• Hemp Seed Oil– powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, full of vitamins as well as omegas 3 and 6
• Sweet Almond Oil– a rich emollient that is ideal for very dry skin
• Argan Oil– well tolerated for sensitive skin, contains Vitamin E (a great antioxidant) and helps fight inflammation. 
• Aloe Vera Gel– calming, hydrating, cooling, and soothing to irritated skin.

The Benefits of Essential Oils for Sensitive Skin

Just as the carrier oils above add helpful benefits to the dermis while getting the Essential Oil safely through the skin barrier, many of the Essential Oils themselves will offer the same therapies. Whether they are fighting inflammation, soothing dry, red skin, or balancing sebum, choosing the right oils for your skin is very important.

The chemical make-up of the Essential Oil determines what it is good for treating. For example, geraniol is an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antioxidant. This means it can be useful for skin because it cleans away bacteria, fights free radicals, and soothes skin. So, when suggestions are made for what Essential Oils to use on your sensitive skin, know that they are chosen specifically for the healing that they provide.

What are the Best Essential Oils for Sensitive Skin?

Geranium Essential Oil

A main component of Geranium is geraniol mentioned above. As a result, this floral oil is ideal for sensitive skin. Adding just a touch of Geranium oil to your skin care routine can help to balance sebum, calm irritation, and boost skin health all while keeping your skin bacteria free. This could help you fight acne as well just like the other Essential Oils listed here.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender oil is one of the safest Essential Oils available. The soothing that it provides to the mind is also provided to the skin. With its strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it helps to heal irritations, fight infection, and promote cell turnover.

Roman Chamomile Essential Oil

This gentle oil is very beneficial for sensitive skin because it is also incredible for easing inflammation and fighting bacteria. Known to remedy eczema, damaged skin, and even rosacea, Chamomile is an excellent choice to aid in moisturizing and softening the skin. For other oils that help with eczema, check out this blog.

Helichrysum Essential Oil

The flavonoid and terpene compounds found in this precious oil have shown to combat bacteria that can lead to skin rashes or infection. Additionally, the strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make it a top choice for sensitive skin applications because it can prevent scarring and heal skin quickly. Plus, Helichrysum contains Vitamin A which hastens the production of new skin cells and reduces collagen breakdown.

Rose Essential Oil

Often referred to as “liquid gold,” Rose oil is renowned for its rejuvenating abilities. When it comes to sensitive skin, we love Rose because it slows down the aging process (just like these oils) and provides vital moisture to the epidermis. Rose can soothe redness and irritation while also preventing blemishes as well. Alternatively, you can also utilize the by-product of Rose oil, Rose Hydrosol to refresh your skin and calm inflammation. 

Neroli Essential Oil

This citrusy, green floral has wonderful regenerative properties that help to resuscitate your skin at the cellular level. Neroli is antifungal, antibacterial, and an antioxidant so it will keep skin clear of pathogens and fight acne in conjunction with regulating skin’s sebum. If you want to try something a little less expensive, REVIVE Neroli & Rose Hydrosol is a great option to take the sting out of inflamed skin and leave it feeling soft and hydrated.

Frankincense Essential Oil

This resin oil is ideal for damaged and inflamed skin. Frankincense has proven to reduce redness and skin irritation as well as provide a soothing effect similar to steroids (due to its pentacyclic triterpene content). In addition, Frankincense may improve skin tone and reduce scarring because it is an astringent that heals imperfections and facilitates faster cell turnover.
We should note that if using organic Essential Oils is important for your family, REVIVE has many of those too.

Are There Any Essential Oils Those with Sensitive Skin Should Avoid?

Just as there are gentle Essential Oils that nourish the skin, there are others that may be a bit harsher on skin as well. Hot oils, which are warm or tingling when applied to the skin, are not recommended for sensitive skin, In fact, these particular oils must be diluted greatly even for those with “normal skin.” 

Hot Oils Include:

• Clove
• Cinnamon
• Oregano
• Ginger
• Thyme
• Lemongrass
• REVIVE Protect
• REVIVE Immunity Boost

Additionally, there are some other Essential Oils that you may want to avoid due to its stronger nature. Peppermint, Birch and Wintergreen contain methyl salicylate and have a powerful cooling effect. In large amounts, this could cause discomfort to sensitive skin. Tea Tree oil is a potent antifungal that is great for killing germs and bacteria, but it may be too strong for irritated skin. Lastly, it is important to remember that most citrus oils are phototoxic. Their reaction to UV rays can make sensitive skin even worse by causing redness, burning, or peeling.

If Your Skin is too Sensitive for Topical Use, Consider Aromatherapy

In knowing and trying the safe oils for delicate skin, you might notice that you still cannot tolerate the use of Essential Oils applied topically…. and that is okay! In this case, you could simply use the carrier oils that we suggested all by themselves or the products recommended by your doctor. You always have the option of inhaling Essential Oils when you want the benefits of Aromatherapy. REVIVE has diffusers of all kinds to choose from and there are so many ways to use this natural therapy.

Recipes

If dry or damaged skin on your body tends to be your issue, try this DIY Soothing Moisturizer.

If your face is the sensitive type, give the following DIY a try.

Sensitive Skin Face Oil

Add the Essential Oils to the glass bottle, then carefully pour in the carrier oils. Close the top and roll in your hands to mix the oils up. Apply once or twice daily to clean, dry skin.

Final Thoughts on Essential Oils for Sensitive Skin

Itch, itch, scratch, scratch… oh no, you’ve got a dry scalp! This uncomfortable condition can strike any time of year, and to anyone. The health of your head and hair relies on many factors and it is important to understand the cause of your dry scalp to help treat it. First, let’s look at what is contributing to the problem before we discuss what Essential Oils are best for dry scalp.

What Causes a Dry, Itchy Scalp?

Your skin, whether it is on your head or not, can be a constant balancing act. Healthy skin reflects a healthy you. You must consider a few things that can affect the quality of your skin that could lead to a dry or itchy scalp:

• The climate you live in
• Your diet
• The chemicals in your body/hair products
• How often you do or don’t wash your hair

*One major cause of dry scalp is actually an ingredient in your shampoo! 

If you determine a specific thing that is causing the issue, obviously you can work to change that and see if it resolves the problem. Using a shampoo free of sulfates may well help right away as they tend to remove the natural oils in your skin. But, if you are unsure of what is causing your itch, you can rest assured that you have natural options with Essential Oils.

Can You Use Essential Oils for a Dry, Itchy Scalp?

Just as Essential Oils benefit and improve the skin on your body, they are also an ideal choice for treating the skin on your head. The therapeutic properties of certain oils can really help soothe and heal an irritated scalp. 

Did you know that dry scalp does not necessarily mean you have dandruff? While they both may present themselves with itchy symptoms, dandruff is actually an overgrowth of yeast. This tends to build up and come off in larger pieces. Dry scalp is generally itchy but causes smaller flakes and is more manageable.

How Essential Oils Can Help Calm an Irritated Scalp

One of the greatest things about Essential Oils is that they are natural and safe. Most people can use them to aid in everyday healing without worrying about a bad reaction. Another wonderful thing about them is that they are potent and a little goes a long way. This means that your own personal treatment can be easy and affordable.

There are several Essential Oils that contain components that can ease itch quickly. Some of these can cool skin on contact, while others may fight fungus or ease inflammation.  To learn more about what other Essential Oils are good for inflamed areas, check out this article.

So, What Are The Best Essential Oils for Dry Scalp?

Lavender Essential Oil

As you probably already know and is mentioned here, Lavender is very soothing and balancing. It acts as a gentle anti-inflammatory that can soothe irritated skin while simultaneously also warding off any bad bacteria that can lead to infection.

Rosemary Essential Oil

This herbal oil is a vasodilator which means it is great for stimulating the scalp. This is what makes it helpful for new hair growth, but it can also aid in itchiness because it improves circulation. Additionally, Rosemary can help to ease inflammation.

Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil

Cedarwood is a very helpful Essential Oil for hair, but did you know that it could benefit your scalp health as well? Atlas Cedar can be an even better choice because it is nourishing and balancing. We also love it for its astringent properties which can help to contract the skin. To learn more about the differences between the different types of Cedarwood, click here.

Peppermint Essential Oil

The menthol content in Peppermint oil can help to provide an instant soothing feeling to your itchy scalp as it cools the area. Additionally, this minty oil is incredible for calming inflammation, so over time it can even help to reduce any pain or irritation that comes with the dryness.

Tea Tree Essential Oil

This powerful antifungal oil is the best choice for dandruff as it fights fungus and bacteria, but it is also great for itchy scalp as it can unclog pores and clear away unwanted dead skin cells. In fact, a study done by the Academy of Dermatology showed that a 5% dilution of Tea Tree is a very effective treatment for flaky scalp.

Manuka Essential Oil

Manuka Oil is very hydrating and can help to restore moisture to dry skin while fighting bacteria. This nourishing oil balances the oils in your skin to keep it healthy and reduce itchiness.

Lemongrass Essential Oil

This fragrant oil is wonderful for detoxification. Lemongrass is cleansing and can help eliminate excess oils on the scalp helping to balance the skin. In addition, it can aid in strengthening the hair follicles while improving hair texture and shine.

How to Use Essential Oils for a Dry, Itchy Scalp

A very important step when using Essential Oils on your skin on any part of your body is to dilute it first. When utilizing these therapeutic tools for your scalp, you want to consider what type of carrier you want to use, so let’s discuss your options. To learn more about properly diluting Essential Oils check out this blog.

For everyday care: Simply add about 20 drops of your chosen Essential Oils to your 8 oz bottle of natural shampoo.

As a weekly treatment: Mix about 10 drops of your Essential Oil blend with 2 oz of Sweet Almond Oil and massage deep into the skin of your scalp all over your head. Let the oils set for 10 minutes then wash out with shampoo.
For intensive care: Combine 1 oz Apple Cider Vinegar with 3 oz water and 15 drops of your chosen Essential Oils. Wet hair and then apply to the scalp thoroughly. Let it set on the roots for about 5 minutes then rinse away. No need to wash or condition afterwards as the ACV will do that for your hair as well.

The good news is that you can not only perform this treatment at home, but also get maximum results with the use of Essential Oils.

What Exactly is Face Steaming

Just as the name implies, face steaming is covering your whole face with warm, moist steam for a period of time. Often done with a special device in a spa setting, this can also be replicated at home with a few simple items. This easy facial is not just a great way to pamper yourself, but it can also help to cleanse, moisturize, promote circulation, and improve the quality of your delicate skin.

Why Use Essential Oils for Steaming the Face

As you know, Essential Oils all have their own unique therapeutic qualities, so of course, it only makes sense to add them to your facial for boosted effects. Here are some of the advantages of performing this luxurious treatment with Essential Oils:

• Boost Collagen and Elastin: By utilizing certain oils, you can improve circulation and fight free radicals which can aid in cell turnover and minimize fine lines. For more information on aging skin, click here.

How to Use Essential Oils for Face Steaming

So now that you know what Essential Oils to use for steaming your face based on the desired outcome, let’s discuss how to use them. Just follow these simple steps to turn your home into a mini day spa.

1. Clean your face as usual then exfoliate to help open pores and prepare your skin to accept the treatment.
2. Choose a large bowl and boil enough water to fill it about halfway. The circumference of the bowl should be as large as your face so that the steam will reach everywhere.
3. Carefully pour the water into your bowl and place it in the area you will be steaming. Choose a comfortable and quiet location.
4. Add your Essential Oils to the water. Start with a drop or two and add more as you like but no more than 5 drops. For other blend options other than those listed above, check out this page.
5. Sit in front of the bowl and lower your head down over it. Then use a towel to cover your head and lock in the steam.
6. Let the steam envelop your face and take deep breaths while you sit for about 10 minutes.
7. Afterwards moisturize your skin with a natural lotion.
8. Avoid harsh chemicals and skin treatments after steaming your face with Essential Oils.

How Often Should You Face Steam with Essential Oils?

With how amazing facial steaming feels, you may be tempted to do it everyday, but don’t go that far because it may dry out your skin. It is recommended to steam your face only once a week. If you have acne prone skin and a breakout is coming on, you can steam a couple days in a row. After that, give yourself a 10 day break to allow your skin time to recover.

Pairing Steaming with Essential Oil Roll-ons

After indulging in facial steaming, you will want to keep the progress going. One great option for this is to use REVIVE Essential Oil Roll-ons in between steamings. If you have mature skin and you are wanting to fight impending wrinkles, REVIVE Anti-aging Roll-on is the perfect choice. If you have a tendency to get pimples, REVIVE Tea Tree Roll-on will help you fight acne. Or if you are looking to rejuvenate tired skin, REVIVE Frankincense Roll-on is ideal for you.

Oftentimes we completely forget about our feet unless they are bothering us in some sort of way. The two stabilizing appendages below your legs do so much for you on a daily basis, but when it comes to self care, they are often overlooked. Well today, we are going to give our feet the spotlight they deserve and discuss what Essential Oils are good for feet, how to use them, and even address using Essential Oils for foot ailments.

Fact or Fiction

Have you ever heard that applying Essential Oils to the feet is the best spot because the pores there are the largest or because of the lack of sebum? This, in fact, is one of the biggest myths in Aromatherapy! There are a couple reasons why foot application is not better for absorption. 

The skin on the feet is very thick; about 100 times thicker than other parts of the body. This means that it is harder for Essential Oils to absorb into the skin. Additionally, the fact that feet do not produce sebum is not conducive to absorption either. Sebaceous glands, in effect, aid in the saturation of Essential Oils. Just like using a carrier oil, the sebum helps the oils to transport into the skin. So, that being said, it is evident that the feet are not the ideal place for quick or deep penetration, but that does not mean that it is not effective for other purposes.

Benefits of Using Essential Oils for Feet

As you know using Essential Oils topically (more info here) can directly affect the area where applied. This can be beneficial for any issues or pain. After a long, hard day standing on your feet, Essential Oils can be the perfect remedy for your “barking dogs.” Furthermore, they make the perfect addition to a foot soak. And lastly, we absolutely love taking advantage of the deodorizing properties of certain Essential Oils for stinky feet. Now, let’s go a little more in depth on each of these topics.

Using Essential Oils for Neuropathy

Did you know that each foot contains thousands of nerve endings that begin in your spine? These nerves travel down your leg and branch out into your feet and toes. When they become damaged and you experience pain, tingling, numbness, or burning, this is called Neuropathy. 

Fortunately, Neuropathy is an issue that can benefit from the use of Essential Oils. There have been several studies that have proven pain relief and better quality of life from certain oils. Lavender is the top researched oil while many other anti-inflammatory and analgesic Essential Oils are on the list as well.

What Essential Oils are Good for Neuropathy in the Feet:

• Lavender
• Eucalyptus
• Chamomile
• Geranium
• Peppermint
• Rosemary
• Basil

The most efficient way to use the Essential Oils for Neuropathy is to choose which oils you want from the list then add them to a carrier oil at about a 3-5% dilution. This would be 9-15 drops of your blend in one Tablespoon of nut or seed oil. Simply massage onto the painful area to get relief. 
For general painful or sore feet, check out this article of Essential Oils for Inflammation.

Using Essential Oils for Stinky Feet

Maybe not the most commonly discussed subject, but an important subject at that, is how to tackle the smell of stinky feet naturally. No one likes when their shoes or tootsies are smelling foul, so how do you use Essential Oils for foot odor? 

The key to this conundrum is antibacterial and antimicrobial Essential Oils. Utilizing scents that kill bacteria and fungus is important because these are what grow from sweating in shoes and socks that ultimately leads to Bromodosis (stinky feet). Creating a deodorizing foot powder that minimizes moisture can be super helpful. Simply add a few drops of any of the Essential Oils from the following list to baking soda and sprinkling in your footwear can fight the odor fast.

What Essential Oils are Best for Stinky Feet?

• Lavender
• Lemon
• Tea Tree
• Orange
• REVIVE Purify
• Lemongrass

Essential Oils Foot Soak

A wonderfully indulgent but therapeutic way to use Essential Oils is to create a soak for when your feet are feeling tired, sore, or swollen. Soaking your feet in a bath or a tub of warm water with salts and Essential Oils can relax and rejuvenate those achy toes and arches. To make this soak, add a few drops of any of the following oils to an ounce of natural soap or carrier oil and mix it with ½ cup of Epsom or Mineral Salts. Then place the mixture into the water and soak for 20 minutes.

What are the Top Essential Oils for a Foot Soak?

• Peppermint
• Juniper Berry
• Cedarwood
• Lavender
• Lime
• Eucalyptus

Using Essential Oils for Feet – Tips & Tricks

Now that you know what Essential Oils are ideal for each common foot issue, let’s chat about the best ways to use them. 

1. Just because your skin is thicker doesn’t mean you don’t need a carrier oil. As always, we recommend using a carrier oil with your Essential Oils to help transport the EO into the skin, have a gentler effect, and save money.
2. Using a roll-on is a really easy and quick way to apply oils to the feet. Some of our favorites are Ache Away Roll-on, Lavender Roll-on, and Tea Tree Roll-on.
3. During the winter months when skin is dry, try using any of the listed Essential Oils with REVIVE Body Butter on the feet. Here is a great article with more info on the subject.

After you take off your shoes, spritz them with REVIVE Lavender Hydrosol to freshen them up for the next use.

Drip, drip, drip… that tickle of phlegm down the back of your throat can be so bothersome. You probably know that it is absolutely normal and healthy for your body to produce mucus on a daily basis; it helps to keep things moist and rid bacteria. But when an illness or allergies arise, the extra mucus can be very uncomfortable.

The good news is that there are several natural remedies that may be able to help get rid of post nasal drip. And, as with so many other ailments, certain Essential Oils are ideal for tackling this issue as well. Read on to learn more about what Essential Oils are best for post nasal drip and how to use them.

What Exactly is Post Nasal Drip?

As previously mentioned, mucus production is part of every healthy body. Lubricating your throat, airways, nose, and digestive tract, it is important to help move out invaders like bacteria and viruses. When the production ramps up and gets thicker, it becomes more noticeable and often makes you feel like you constantly need to clear your throat. This also causes problems like sore or scratchy throat, cough, or even sinus infections. The cause of this is usually a cold or flu, allergies, food triggers, pregnancy, sinusitis, or even a deviated septum.

Can you use Essential Oils for Post Nasal Drip?

You sure can! In addition to other simple remedies that may help like drinking hot tea, using over the counter decongestants, and doing a nasal rinse, Essential Oils can be very helpful in reducing the symptoms of post nasal drip. Many oils are natural decongestants, anti-inflammatory, and/or soothing which aids in providing relief. 
Studies show that Essential Oils containing 1,8-cineole can effectively reduce mucus production. This 2015 abstract shows how it helps with rhinosinusitis, while this review showcases how it can control mucus in the airways.

So, What are the Best Essential Oils for Post Nasal Drip?

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

This oil is our #1 pick because of the amount of 1,8-cineole (about 80%) it contains. Eucalyptus is ideal for clearing airways, decreasing mucus, and calming inflammation. Additionally, this medicinal oil is a powerful antiviral that can help to fight any impending infection. 

Eucalyptus Blue and Eucalyptus Radiata are great choices as well.

Rosemary Essential Oil

Another Essential Oil with high 1,8-cineole content, Rosemary helps to break up mucus and ease inflammation in the areas tight with congestion. This herbal oil can also fight against viral infections and has even shown in preliminary studies to be effective protection when facing off with cytokine viruses.

If your post nasal drip has caused a sore throat as well, check out this blog on what Essential Oils to use. 

Peppermint Essential Oil

The cooling feeling that Peppermint provides comes from its menthol content.This fresh, minty sensation can be helpful for soothing nasal passages when battling excess mucus. Peppermint really promotes relief from congestion which often comes with post nasal drip. For more information, check out this article on Essential Oils for congestion.

Tea Tree Essential Oil

This multifaceted Essential Oil combats viruses, infections, and bacteria. This is important when dealing with post nasal drip to ensure that it doesn’t turn into something more. We also love that Tea Tree helps to reduce swelling in nasal passages and throat caused by post nasal drip, making it an ideal choice for tackling a cold or flu. 

Lavender Essential Oil

The inflammation in the respiratory areas, and especially the nose is what causes most of the discomfort of post nasal drip. Addressing the swelling can provide a lot of relief, so this is where Lavender comes in. Not only can this soft floral oil aid in bringing you rest when you are not feeling well, but it can also lessen your body’s inflammatory response. Try using Lavender Essential Oil in an evening bath to encourage relaxation.

Additionally, if your post nasal drip is part of illness that is also causing headaches, it could be helpful to check out the best Essential Oils for that as well.

Oregano Essential Oil

This spicy, herbal oil boasts strong antiviral and antioxidant properties making it a good choice for fending off unwanted infections that often come from post nasal drip. Carvacrol, the main component in Oregano Essential Oil, inhibits the growth of bacteria which can reduce the severity of your illness and boost the immune system.

REVIVE Breathe Air

This synergistic blend is a perfect choice for post nasal drip because it contains many of the beneficial Essential Oils on this list. Breathe Air helps to clear airways and provide smoother, easier breathing. The addition of Lemon and Laurel Essential Oils also brings an uplifting effect to those who smell it.

How to use Essential Oils for Post Nasal Drip

Now that you know the best Essential Oils to use for post nasal drip, let’s discuss the best way to use them. Inhalation has shown to be the most effective way to utilize the oils to your benefit, but there are many ways to do this. Here are a few ways to take advantage of aromatherapy for post nasal drip:

• Fill your space with your chosen Essential Oils using a diffuser like the REVIVE Champagne Ultrasonic Diffuser.
• Take a few deep breaths from an Essential Oil inhaler like REVIVE’s Aromatherapy Personal Inhalers.
• Inhale directly from the bottle of the Essential Oil or blend you want to use.
• Take a warm bath or shower with the Essential Oils that you have picked from this list.
• Add a few drops of the Essential Oil to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam.
• Put a drop or two onto a cotton ball and inhale as needed.

Another way to use Essential Oils for post nasal drip is topical application. As with any instance where you use your oils on your skin, we recommend diluting them first with a carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil or Golden Jojoba Oil. Create your own ready to use roller for post nasal drip with REVIVE’s Roll-on Bottles. 

*Just remember when applying Essential Oils to the face, be very careful to not get it in or near your eyes. We advise only a 1% dilution in this situation.

• Apply to the outside of your throat and on your chest
• Put a small amount on the bridge of your nose
• Roll onto temples for tension or headache

It’s late in the afternoon, your mind is wandering again, and you just need to finish up the task at hand. You may be asking yourself, “Why is it so hard to concentrate?” Don’t be so hard on yourself, it happens to the best of us. Factors like lack of sleep, stress, or environmental distractions may be causing you to get off track, but it’s helpful to know that many Essential Oils can counteract this. 

Specific compounds in certain therapeutic oils (like 1,8 cineole and A-pinene) can aid in memory, concentration, and focus. Utilizing these natural plant extractions may help neurotransmitters in the brain. So what Essential Oils are best for alertness and mental stimulation, and what is the best way to use them? Here is a list of the top Essential Oils and blends for Focus.

Rosemary Essential Oil

This pungent herbal oil is traditionally known as the “oil of remembrance.” It is said that Greek scholars used to inhale its aroma while studying. Multiple studies have shown that Rosemary oil can enhance memory as well as mental alertness, and possibly help to prevent Alzheimer’s Disease.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Grapefruit is a wonderful partner for the herbal oils on this list. For an even bigger and brighter smell, try White Grapefruit Essential Oil.

How to use Essential Oils for Focus

When looking to achieve focus, we want to use the olfactory receptors to stimulate the part of the limbic system that can reduce stress and increase alertness. Essentially, you can just inhale one or a blend of the Essential Oils on this list to help with that. A couple deep breaths straight from the bottle is enough to make a difference. 

For longer lasting effects, we really love to diffuse our oils! Just 3-5 drops in your REVIVE diffuser is all it takes to get you on your way to Focus Land. Diffusing in your office or at the homework desk can be super helpful for getting you in the zone. 
Another great option is to apply your Essential Oils topically with a carrier oil. This is a wonderful idea for personal use and very handy when on-the-go. Simply add a drop or two of your desired Essential Oils or blend to Fractionated Coconut Oil or Golden Jojoba Oil and rub onto pulse points as needed. 

There are so many ways that may instantly pop into your head of how to use your Essential Oils… diffusing for sleep, adding to your cleaning products, and natural skin care. But did you know that there are other very interesting ways that you may have never thought of to put them to good use? Here is just a sampling of ideas to get you started.

Freshen up Stinky Shoes:

Peew, those shoes reek! Place a few drops of REVIVE Tumble & Tidy on a cotton ball and put inside smelly shoes. Let sit in there when not wearing them and remove before use. The oil blend will eliminate odors and improve scent.

Get Gum out of Hair:

Yikes, gum in the hair is not fun, good thing your Lemon Essential Oil is here to help. Put a few drops surrounding the gum and rub it around the area. The gum will dissolve into little balls that will come out on their own, then comb the rest out!

Refresh your Sponge:

Gross, that kitchen sponge is getting nasty. Drip a few drops of Orange or Lemon Essential Oil onto the sponge and place in the top rack of the dishwasher. This will shine up those dishes in the wash and revive your sponge as well.

Kill Paint Odor:

A freshly painted wall can smell like toxic fumes. Add a small bottle of Peppermint Essential Oil to the paint tub and stir in well before painting. This will help neutralize odors and keep you from getting a paint headache.

Soothe a Fresh Piercing:

Oftentimes a new piercing will feel itchy and become inflamed. Mix one drop of Tea Tree Essential Oil with a carrier oil and apply to the front and back of the piercing to soothe pain and inflammation quickly.
