Do you need help with a task or project? Are you close to a deadline and need a little push? Here are the fifteen best essential oils for concentration and focus you can use!
I understand! You’re not the only one who has to make an extra effort to finish a job. We all go through a 2 pm slump where work is the last thing we want to do. You can feel your focus fading away when that happens!
Even if you take lots of breaks and try to pump yourself back into making progress, it feels like an impossible task. Fortunately, there are essential oils that can be effective when that happens!
There are a few ways you can use essential oils. Most people prefer to go down the aromatic route. Put the oils in a diffuser and allow them to uplift you that way. Put ten drops in there to make a change in your focus and concentration. You’ll feel calm, focused – and ready for any task!
Not everyone owns a diffuser, though. If that sounds like you, you can put ten drops in a spray bottle along with water and one tablespoon of hazel. Spray it around and see how your mood changes.
There’s no need to breathe essential oils for them to work. You can also dilute them and apply them to your skin. To do so, you need almond oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil. Use a one part essential oil and five parts almond oil (or any other choice) in this scenario.
Vetiver will help you ground yourself as well as calm and stabilize you. It works best when you wake up and go to sleep. Apply two drops to the bottom of your feet or inhale them for a few seconds. For a stronger effect, combine it with lavender or cedarwood.
You probably know about lavender. It’s great for winding down and relaxing before going to sleep. It also has balancing properties. Apply one or two drops to your neck and feet before bed. You can also drop a little bit on a diffuser.
Cedarwood smells amazing. It feels like a walk in the forest. That may be the reason why it’s so calming. Put a little bit in a diffuser or apply it to your feet right after you wake up and before you go to sleep.
As you know, you can add vetiver and lavender to create the perfect essential oil combination.
Rosemary smells as good as cedarwood does – but in a different way. It has a more herbal scent. It’s like taking a walk in your garden. This soothing scent will uplift you as well as reduce mental fatigue. That’s why it’s perfect for an afternoon pick me up. Put it in a diffuser or apply a couple of drops on your neck and hairline.
Peppermint is a well known oil you can use for focus. It’s a minty aroma you will surely recognize. Blend six drops of peppermint and lemon and put them in a diffuser. Be ready for a great energy boost when you do!
Basil is similar to rosemary – and it’s just as soothing. It’ll help you overcome nervousness, so it’s the perfect essential oil when you’re close to a deadline or facing an overwhelming task. If that sounds like you, add six drops of basil and lemongrass into a diffuser to help you work better.
Lemongrass is a clean and refreshing scent that will motivate anyone lucky enough to smell it. As you know, you can mix it with basil for even better results. You can also combine it with rosemary. All it takes is putting six drops of each essential oil in your diffuser.
Are you losing your sense of focus? Do you feel like you need to ground yourself? Frankincense can help you with that. Apply two drops behind your neck and on your temples for an extra push. This essential oil is very gentle, so there’s no need to dilute it.
Don’t confuse lemon with lemongrass – they are two different things. Lemon goes well with peppermint. Combining six drops of each will help your diffuser release an invigorating smell that will allow you to focus and concentrate like never before.
Similar to lemon, Bergamot is a citrus oil that will uplift you. You can use it alone as well as pair it with patchouli in a diffuser. Whether you go with bergamot alone or mix it up, add six drops of each oil to a diffuser.
If you’re facing too many projects – and, perhaps, one too many to handle on your own, patchouli will help you calm yourself and be more relaxed. It will also motivate you to get stuff done.
Clarity isn’t an essential oil but an oil blend. It’s Basil, Bergamot, Coriander, Geranium, Lemon, and a few other essential oils put into one. It’s a mixture of citrus oils and herbaceous oils. Add ten drops to a diffuser or apply two drops with coconut oil or almond oil in your temples.
Another popular oil blend is Peace and Calming. It has Blue Tansy, Orange, Patchouli, Tangerine, and Ylang Ylang. This oil blend will help you promote a sense of relaxation and peace within. Apply two drops of this oil mixed with almond oil or coconut oil on your feet after you wake up and before you go to sleep. You can also add ten drops to a diffuser.
The final oil blend on this list is called Brain Power. It’s a mixture of Blue Cypress, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Helichrysum, Levander, Melissa, and Sandalwood. This oil blend will help you clear your mind and focus on your task. Put two drops in your carrier oil of choice and apply it to the back of your neck early in the morning and late at night.
