sth to energize

What scents do u recommend for energizing- that would make me feel more awake. pls, don't say citrus scents... i think i over-used them, it is not that they wouldn't work, it is just i am sick of citrus scent.

Well citrus scents are at the top of the list!

I suggest peppermint also,,I have used it on many occasions....try chewing peppermint flavored gum- seriously. It has pepped me up when I'm getting tired or groggy.

Also, just a side note, I had a really stuffed up nose due to sinus problems and was out of the usual Sudafed,,,so I just dabbed some peppermint oil under my nose.

And I swear it worked almost better than the usual drugs.
I don't think I will ever buy Sudafed again. It worked great.

Peppermint is awesome but some other options include:

PS.  If you are going to go with aromatherpy as an stimulant, remember to always use the real oils and not synthetic, never apply directly to the skin without diffusing and read all instructions before proceeding.  With aromatherapy there can be too much of a good thing so proceed with care.  :-)

I totally agree Carrie !!   I made the mistake a few times of not diluting Lemongrass and Peppermint oil before putting it in my bathtub and my skin got really, really irritated. Live and learn :-)
