More than just good smells, essential oils that are uplifting can change the mood game! We all have those days where we could use a little mood boost. Or maybe a lot! Certain essential oils have properties that specifically work to uplift the body and mind. 


Let’s take a look at a few of the best uplifting essential oils: 


Frankincense – Frankincense helps to balance the nervous system. Its grounding properties help you focus on positive emotions and help prevent your stress from keeping you down. 


Eucalyptus – Eucalyptus can help stimulate the brain and increase energy levels. There’s a reason eucalyptus is often used in spas – its aroma doesn’t just smell good, but helps you feel good too! 


Lemongrass – The citrusy, earthy aroma of lemongrass helps to invigorate the senses and boost mood. Lemongrass is a great essential oil to brighten up bad days! 


Peppermint – Time to freshen up your senses? Peppermint doesn’t just smell minty fresh, it actually can help refresh your mind. Naturally stimulating, peppermint can boost mood and promote energy. If you feel unmotivated, peppermint is a great oil to use. 


Rosemary – Rosemary has many superpowers, one of which is the ability to positively affect the autonomic nervous system. If your bad mood or low energy is keeping you from focusing, rosemary can also help promote focus and improve memory. 


Lemon – Breathing in the bright aroma of lemon can help enhance mood and stimulate the senses. Lemon essential oil is great for clearing the air and clearing your mind!
