Energising Essential Oil Blends

Energising essential oil blends, such as citrus relief, offer invigorating aromas that can elevate mood and awaken the senses.

Typically, when diffused or inhaled, their effects can last anywhere from a couple of hours to half a day, depending on individual sensitivities, the environment, and the potency of the blend.

However, personal factors like metabolism, activity level, and even ambient conditions can influence the duration. If used topically, the sensation may linger for a few hours, though its aromatic intensity may wane sooner.

Remember, everyone's experience might vary, so it's always beneficial to adjust usage according to personal preferences and needs.

Storing your energising essential oil blends properly is crucial for preserving their potency and longevity. Always keep them in dark, amber or blue glass bottles which protect against UV light degradation.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and oxidation. Avoid leaving bottles open for extended periods.

Some enthusiasts also prefer storing certain blends in the refrigerator, although it's essential to ensure the oils return to room temperature before use.

By following these guidelines, you can maximise the shelf life and efficacy of your energising blends.

Generally, using energising essential oil blends, which often contain stimulating ingredients like citrus or peppermint, right before bedtime might not be the best idea. These blends are crafted to invigorate and uplift, potentially making it harder for some individuals to wind down and fall asleep.

Instead, for nighttime relaxation, consider blends with calming properties like lavender or chamomile.

However, everyone's body responds differently, so while most might find energising blends too stimulating before sleep, a few might not be affected as much.

It's always good to listen to your body's response and adjust your aromatherapy practices accordingly.
