I have been thinking about writing a post like this for some time to demonstrate how important Essential Oils can become to your daily health and how to make them part of your daily routine. My usage of Oils has increased over the past few months as I read more about their benefits and listen to the advice of other ‘Oily’ people around me.

If you are like me and you have an oil for every occasion or problem then you will understand what I am talking about. But if you are skeptic, you may need a few tangible examples of the benefits of having these Oils on hand. So I would like to share my experience and help you with your Oily journey too, hence this post about waking up with Essential Oils!

How do you feel in the morning when you first wake up?

Are you bright and chirpy or do you take a while to surface? Or perhaps you are anxious about the day ahead and worried that you won’t have the energy to get through? We are all different so if you are wanting to use Essential Oils in the morning to help prepare you to face the day then you need to firstly reflect on your thoughts, energy levels etc. If you have done your research about different Oils and their properties you can then reach for the Oils that will be most helpful for you.

I am actually a ‘hit the ground running’ kind of person in that my brain is awake and ready to get to work. But sadly as I get older, my body is not quite as ready to get going and so it needs a bit of a boost.

I have a pouch full of roller ball bottles in my handbag, some containing one oil diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil, others a blend of oils that are also diluted.

What oils to use in the morning?

Firstly, I reach for my Oils Pouch and find the following Oils to start my day:

(As you read below you can click on each of the oils and find out about their amazing benefits and uses.)

Peaceful Essential Oil Blend

This is my favourite oil and as I swipe it onto my wrist and breathe it in my body relaxes and I am filled with an overwhelming sensation of well being. I use it during the day sometimes too if I have stressful issues to deal with. It smells divine and is just so helpful to have around.

Balanced and Calming Essential Oil Blend

This is another life saver when you are busy and having to juggle lots of things in your life. Try a swipe of this oil on the bottom of your feet. The oil mix in Balance is from beautiful trees and the blend helps you to feel grounded and balanced!!

Peppermint

What do you wake up with? Do you need that caffeine hit to get you moving? Whilst I like a cup of tea first thing to warm me up in the winter, I now rely on peppermint oil to wake me up. A swipe on the temples and under your eyes will definitely get you going! So much more healthy than an extra strong shot of caffeine.

Digestive Calming Essential Oil Blend

I have a problem with ulcers in my stomach, not all the time but they do flare up in times of stress. A swipe of this oil over my stomach each morning helps soothe my digestive system.

Immune Bomb

(Mixture of Immunity Building Essential Oil Blend, Oregano, Lemon and Tea Tree Oils)

Using this mix is a preventative approach to health management. This blend will help you keep away the colds and flu by building your resistance. I swipe this on my feet first thing every day. If I do get sick I make up capsules of this mix and take them twice a day so I can avoid any drugs such as antibiotics.

An anti-imflammatory and soothing mix of Essential Oils

(Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Eucalyptus )

This is not an every day thing but at the moment I am having some shoulder problems and so I swipe this over my shoulder and massage it in before I head off to the pool.

And finally…

My last tip for a great start to your morning is to take a drop each of Frankincense, Copaiba and Yarrow Pom under the tongue each morning. Check out the benefits of each of these oils – you will be amazed at the benefits they provide. I mix these oils together and use a dropper bottle, making it easy to take under the tongue.

So that is my Oily morning. I wonder what yours might look like? I would love to hear from you about how oils have helped you.
