Close your laptop, turn on your out of office message, and step away from that spreadsheet—summer is officially here! 

This time of year invites you to embrace the beauty of nature, soak up the sun, and rejuvenate your mind and body by taking a break from your routine and prioritizing your overall well-being.

One way to enhance your summer wellness is through aromatherapy, or the use of essential oils to enhance your experience, elevate your mood, and reinvigorate your wellness routine. Known for their therapeutic properties, essential oils have been used for centuries to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Today, essential oils can be used to energize and invigorate, promote rest and relaxation, and enhance your mood, especially when you’re feeling stressed or burned out from the demands of daily life. Here are some aromatherapy ideas with fresh essential oil blends to uplift your summer days.

 

 

10 fresh summer essential oil blends

 

Citrus Splash

Lemon (Citrus limon) and Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) essential oils are known for awakening the senses with their bright, citrusy, and refreshing smell.

This blend combines the floral, calming scents of Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) and Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) essential oils to capture the essence of a gentle summer wind.

With the cool, invigorating properties of Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and Spearmint (Mentha Spicata Viridis), this blend awakens the senses, boosts focus, and creates an atmosphere of clarity. We recommend using it while journaling or doing some summer reading to create a sense of relaxed alertness.
