Creating Uplifting Scents
Using essential oil to make an uplifting scents
Uplifting scents contain some of the most useful essential oils
because they help alleviate common psychological symptoms including
depression, anxiety, melancholy and apathy. Some of these moods are not
entirely psychological and may have physical causes, which you should
not attempt to treat. For clinical depression, always seek professional
medical advice. Nonetheless, these uplifting mood scents may be of
benefit to anyone who is feeling generally low.
Because there are many uplifting essential oils, check carefully how
you are feeling before making up a blend. Once you have found a few key
words that describe how you feel, read carefully in the directory of
essential oils the description of the various essential oils suggested
as uplifting, and choose accordingly.
Bergamot, melissa, geranium, rose absolute and rose otto are classic
essential oils for creating uplifting mood scents. Basil, holy basil and
sandalwood are also good choices. If there is anxiety involved, include
neroli, roman chamomile or frankincense; if apathy is a concern, then
jasmine, rosemary and patchouli are useful. Orange and mandarin are
cheery, smiley oils that enhance uplifting blends.
