Arise & Shine: Wake Up with Citrus

There is a reason people reach for a glass of orange juice in the mornings.

Peppermint is known to improve concentration, making it the best option for when you need to buckle down and focus. The invigorating scent triggers the part of the brain that controls mental clarity, providing the alertness you need to be at your best. It can also aid in lowering your stress level and improving your memory. Diffusing our Menthol Crystals releases the amazing potential of Peppermint right into your office or classroom. You’ll have a clear mind ready for the task at hand!

Beat the Mid-Day Slump With…Pick Your Favorite!

There are actually a few different essential oil options that can provide the support you need to beat the mid-day slump. Play around with different options to find what works best for you. The refreshing scent of Citrus will provide a zesty jolt. Or, the powerful, exhilarating scent of Peppermint will sharpen your clarity. Another terrific option is Eucalyptus. The strong, sharp aroma of greens is revitalizing and will help you get back on your feet quickly. 

If you often find yourself feeling sluggish midday, here are 5 More Ways to Beat Midday Fatigue fast and naturally.

Brain Fog? Start at Night With Lavender

Mental fatigue or “brain fog” generally stems from physical fatigue or inadequate sleep. So the remedy begins with at night. Using Lavender before bed (along with helpful sleep habits) can improve sleep quality and duration, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed. Lavender is a soothing scent, known for its calming properties. The sweet, floral aroma will reduce stress and help quiet a racing mind. 

The calming effects of a Yoga ritual before bed can be life-changing, especially when combined with our Lavender-Infused Pure Eucalyptus Oil Yoga Mat Cleaner. Simply spray on your mat (and wipe clean) before and after practice to enjoy the aromatic benefits during your practice.

Need a Serious Pick Me Up But Not Into Energy Drinks? Try This!

We are in a society where we have to be up early and late and go, go, go in between. Sure you need sleep, we both know that that’s the biggest solution.

Here’s what you do with it. All you need to do is rub your hands together. The key is making sure to first spray a couple of shots of the eucalyptus shower spray onto your hands, and then rub them together for a few seconds very rapidly to create heat, energizing the oil. Now just bring the hands to your nose, and breath in.

The first time you do it, don’t breathe in too deeply. While the first breath can’t hurt you, it might be a bit overwhelming. The essential oil will continue to provide natural stimulation while opening your sinuses, and flow through your respiratory system for a minute or so. Indulge as long as you like. Because this is an oil, not a fragrance, there is no residue, and in a few moments the delicious aroma will dissipate.  Feel free to take another hit as often as you like.

3 Amazing Mint Benefits You Have to Try

3 Amazing Mint Benefits You Have to Try

If you haven’t experienced the incredible healing mint oil benefits, you’re missing out. There are some very common ailments that most of us are familiar with that can be solved or relieved via treatment with mint. Some of these common complaints include body pain, fatigue, and low spirits. We’ve all had those from time to time.

And they always show up at the worst possible moments, when you really can’t afford to miss out on life. So why not learn about the incredible benefits of mint and the relief it offers, and get back to your life.

3 Rejuvenating Mint Benefits

The power of mint is helpful for:

1. Restores respiratory health

The strong aroma of mint is very effective in clearing up congestion of the nose, throat, bronchi, and lungs, that often results from asthma and the common cold. As mint cools and soothes the throat, nose, and other respiratory channels, it relieves the irritation which causes chronic coughing. This is the reason why several balms are mint-based. Unlike the inhalers that are based on aerosols, mint-based solutions tend to be more effective and eco-friendly as well.

2. Relieves nausea and headache

Again, the strong and refreshing aroma of mint is a quick and effective remedy for nausea. Even just the smell of mint oil or freshly crushed mint leaves can alleviate your stomach issues. In fact, many people keep menthol oil or mint-flavored products with them at all times to avoid nausea. Balms with a mint base or basic mint oil, when rubbed on the forehead and nose, give quick relief in case of a headache. Mint is a naturally soothing substance so it can alleviate the inflammation and temperature rise that is often associated with headaches and migraines.

3. Reduces depression and fatigue

Mint is a natural stimulant, and the smell alone can be enough to charge your batteries and get your brain functioning at peak capacity again. If you’re feeling sluggish, anxious, depressed, or simply exhausted, mint can help. It can be ingested, applied topically in a salve form, or inhaled as a vapor, giving you a much-needed boost! A popular way to get good results easily is to put a few drops of mint essential oil or menthol oil on your pillow at night and let it work on your body and mind while you sleep.

5 Tips to Feel More Awake in the Morning

Whether it’s late night studying, having fun, a restless baby, or a wound up mind, nobody likes waking up with tired eyes and a mind that matches.

So we want to share with you some simple and natural tips to wake up not only your eyes but your whole self so you can conquer your day with energy and eyes wide open.

5 Tips to Feel More Awake in the Morning

Cold water. Immediately cleanse your face upon waking. Let the cold begin. Splash your face with as cold of water you can handle, 10 – 20 times. If you’re feeling super brave, lay with an ice pack on your eyes for 5 minutes.

Take a shower. Not just any shower, take a Eucalyptus shower. Run some hot water and spray our Menthol-Infused Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist into the steam. Breathe deep and let the menthol and Eucalyptus penetrate your lungs and skin cells for total body rejuvenation.

Caffeine. Brew up some green or black tea using 2 bags total. Once it has steeped, set aside the bags on a dish, and drink the tea. But also, you can grab those tea bags, lay down, and place them on your eyes for about 10 minutes. You’ll see some great tightening and brightening.

Lemon water. Nothing is better than drinking hot, warm, or cold lemon water in the morning. Simply slice and squeeze the lemon, add water and enjoy. This will detox your endocrine and lymphatic system for an awakening from the inside out.

Eye drops. A perfect finishing touch includes lubricating and redness-reducing eye drops. You’ll feel more wide-eyed and less bloodshot within minutes.

Enjoy these tips and go about your day without feeling tired. Live life with no more bags under your eyes or droopy eyelids today!

These Tips Will Help You Stop Hitting Snooze and Give You More Energy for Your Day!

These Tips Will Help You Stop Hitting Snooze and Give You More Energy for Your Day!I could not wake up this morning. But I have some secrets that help boost my energy even on my ‘snooze button’ days, so I wasn’t too stressed. I also know I’m not alone and other people would love to know what I do for my boost.

These Tips Will Help You Stop Hitting Snooze and Give You More Energy for Your Day!

Warm Lemon Water
This one works to give you that ZING and also cleanses… even your skin will look great after doing this a few days in a row! 1/2 Lemon. One mug of water. Honey to taste with a dash (or tsp) of cayenne pepper.  GOOD MORNING!

Tea Bags
We both know that with very little sleep, you’re likely to reach for a caffeinated beverage. If you’re so wise to choose tea – steep your tea as usual but then apply the tea bag to your under eye area.  If you can listen to some energizing music and lay down for 5 minutes like this, you will feel more energized AND your eyes will look brighter!

Eucalyptus Oil Shower
This one is great and wonderfully refreshing!  Simply take the eucalyptus oil shower spray and spritz it into the steam of the shower! The naturally occurring menthol will open up your lungs and rejuvenate you from the inside out.

Peppermint Oil
I recommend keeping a small bottle of peppermint next to your bed. When you wake up (or during your daily lull), open the bottle and inhale deeply. You can even dab a few drops on your hairline, crown of the head and at the back of the neck. You’ll be boosted quickly and ready to take on the world!

We hope you find these tips useful and able to give you the energy boost you’re needing both inside and out!  Have a beautiful day, from all of us at Eurospa!j
