The best energising essential oils to diffuse are peppermint, rosemary, lemon, sweet orange, grapefruit and eucalyptus. Fresh mint and bright citrus wake up your senses, lift your mood and help you focus, with no caffeine or sugar needed. Below are 5 easy energising diffuser blends for positive energy, from a morning starter to an afternoon pick-me-up.

Why reach for oils instead of coffee?

It is 3pm. You have been up since just before sunrise, and it has been go, go, go ever since. First the kids, then the traffic, then the emails and one deadline after another. Now your body is starting to say no.

Before you reach for that fifth cup of coffee, a sugary energy drink or a doughnut, there may be a better way. Aromatherapy can help boost your energy, increase productivity and really improve your mood, simply by using the power of nature. These 5 energising diffuser blends will gently lift you out of your afternoon slump and give you a calm, steady daily boost.

How does aromatherapy boost energy?

Smell is the most powerful of our five senses. Our sense of smell is linked to the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls emotions, memory and learning. This means a scent can directly change how you feel.

Have you ever smelled something that took you straight back to your childhood? That is the limbic system at work, and it is a big part of why aromatherapy is so powerful.

Studies suggest that certain essential oils can boost energy, reduce fatigue and improve focus. The effect doubles over time, because your brain quickly learns to link certain smells with certain activities. Use the same blend every time you work or study, and the scent alone will start to tell your brain it is time to focus.

What are the best essential oils for energy?

Energising oils fall into two groups: bright citrus oils that lift your mood, and fresh herbal oils that sharpen your mind. Here is what each one brings to a blend.

Oil	Scent	Best for
Peppermint	Cool, sharp mint	A quick pick-me-up and alertness
Rosemary	Fresh, woody herb	Focus, study and clear thinking
Lemon	Clean, zesty citrus	Morning freshness and a brighter mood
Sweet orange	Sweet, juicy citrus	Positive energy and motivation
Grapefruit	Tangy, uplifting citrus	Beating the afternoon slump
Eucalyptus	Fresh, clearing air	Feeling awake and refreshed
Bergamot	Bright, floral citrus	An uplifting, positive mood
Ylang ylang	Rich, sweet floral	Balancing a blend so it never feels harsh
Frankincense	Warm, woody resin	Calm energy and mindful focus

You can find every one of these in our essential oils collection.

5 energising diffuser blends to try

Each blend has been made for a different time of day or task. Add the drops to the water in your diffuser and switch it on. Feel free to experiment and find what works for you.

How to use essential oils for energy

A diffuser is the easiest way to use energising oils. Fill it with water to the line, add your drops and switch it on.

• Use 5 to 8 drops in total for a standard diffuser and an average room.
• Run it for 30 to 60 minutes, then give the room a break.
• Breathe in deeply for a few moments to refresh your mind and body.
• Diffuse while you work, study or exercise, or first thing in the morning.

Want to make your own energy blend? Start with 2 to 4 drops of a stimulating oil like peppermint, lemon or rosemary, then add a citrus or a soft floral. Adjust the ratios for the scent strength and mood you want.

Are energising oils safe to diffuse?

• Keep oils out of reach of children. Avoid diffusing peppermint, rosemary and eucalyptus near babies and young children.
• Cats are very sensitive to diffused oils. Diffuse away from pets and always leave them a way out of the room.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your GP or midwife first.
• Speak to a doctor first if you have asthma, epilepsy or high blood pressure, as rosemary and peppermint can be stimulating.
• Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight. This only matters on skin, not in a diffuser.
