How to Use Essential Oils to Boost Creativity  

Diffusing and topical applications can both work for using essential oils to boost creativity. 

• You can set up your diffuser in your workspace and add any combination of creativity-boosting oils. 

• You can simply open a bottle of essential oil and inhale deeply. 

• Topical applications work great and allow the wellness properties of essential oils to be absorbed into your bloodstream. You can apply oils to your pressure points, your forehead, the back of your neck, and your wrists for best results. Or just dab a little essential oil under your nose. It’s best to dilute essential oils before applying topically. You can use a mild carrier oil like shea butter or jojoba oil, or one of our pre-diluted roll-on bottles. 

• You can also put a few drops of creativity-boosting essential oils on any piece of diffuser jewelry and take aromatherapy wherever your creativity leads you.
