Aromatherapy using Essential Oils to Increase Energy
There are many ways to increase energy naturally; Exercise, sleep and diet to name a few. Aromatherapy can also play a role in increasing energy levels naturally. Essential oils are absorbed both through inhalation and absorption. Both of these methods target the limbic system in the brain which is the area responsible for regulating hormones in the body. Citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, lime, orange and lemon, and minty plants, like peppermint, rosemary and spearmint, are all known to trigger energy producing hormones in the body so its no wonder that these oils are commonly used in aromatherapy for the exact same purpose. Just smelling these invigorating oils can jump start our thyroid glands to produce more energy inducing hormones.
