  • I have such a heightened sense of smell I can’t really diffuse oils. A lot of scents give me a migraine and don’t smell so great to me as they are extremely strong to my nose.

  • I do use grapefruit essential oil to help put a “zing” in my day. It is super energizing. It also helps fight off sugar cravings, which I tend to get when I am stressed out. I will need to try Bergamot and Geranium too.

  • I haven’t tried essential oils because I’m allergic to perfumes and flowers. They cause inflammation of my sinuses. I would try the grapefruit one as I love citrus scents. To relieve stress I listen to music or do yoga.

  • I first heard about changing your moods with oils from my daughter. I used scented candles before, because the smell used to make me more relaxed. And when the room was dark, I would watch the flames flicker on the ceiling and walls. The oils’ scents seem to be stronger. Plus they are definitely safer to use than having a candle burn all night. Thank you for sharing what certain oils do for different moods. Pin worthy!
