Essential Oil Recipes for Concentration



Whether at work or burning the midnight oil, there’ll be moments when you would be in need of a boost for mental concentration, clarity and alertness and memory strength. If the idea of subjecting yourself to large quantities of caffeine or Red-Bull is a turn-off to you, then, you might want to turn to aromatherapy for a healthier and way more pleasant alternative.

Sparing you the scientific details of how the brain responds to the aromas of essential oils, suffice to say that they actually work – provided that you keep an open mind and maintain a receptive attitude towards aromatherapy and, of course, put yourself in a conducive environment to perform your task as well. Other obvious contributing factors such as proper rest and diet should also be observed in order to help you stay focused and mentally productive.
