Essential oils are concentrated compounds extracted from parts of plants through steam or water distillation, mechanical pressing, or cold pressing. They’re most often used in the practice of aromatherapy, where they’re inhaled or diluted and applied to the skin. A growing body of research supports some of the health claims about essential oils, including the ability to increase energy and boost focus, concentration, and motivation.
Some specific oils, like peppermint, have clinical research supporting their ability to decrease fatigue and improve exercise performance. Other essential oils, like grapefruit and lemon, have been known to boost alertness and improve memory.
The best way to incorporate these oils into your daily routine is through direct inhalation, which can be done with a diffuser, an individual inhaler, or by applying the oil directly to the skin. When applying the oil topically, make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil (like coconut) to minimize any possible skin sensitivity. Also, remember that lemon (and any citrus oil) makes your skin sun sensitive so it’s important to wear sunscreen if you go outside after applying it.
