Our oils and sprays are carefully formulated in small batches in Heiloo. Choose a single oil if you want to create your own blend, or opt for a ready-made blend if you’d like a complete fragrance that brings a sense of freshness and lightness to your home, such as the Soul Recharge fragrance range.
Which scents are often chosen to boost energy levels?
In aromatherapy, essential oils used to boost energy usually feature fresh, bright and invigorating scent profiles. Citrus scents often create a light and cheerful atmosphere (see also the Citrus fragrance profiles), mint feels cool and invigorating, and spicy notes such as Ginger essential oil Or woody notes are chosen specifically to promote focus and create a tidy space. Which scent is best depends mainly on the moment: do you want to wake up, work with concentration, or break through a heavy atmosphere?

Essential oil to combat negative energy in the home
People searching for essential oils to combat negative energy are often referring to a space that feels heavy, oppressive or unsettling. Think of after a long day, lots of visitors, a house move or an intense conversation. At times like these, many people opt for fresh and cleansing scents such as sage, rosemary, juniper or fir. Not as a miracle cure, but as a conscious scent anchor. A few drops in a diffuser, combined with airing the room and taking a quiet moment for yourself, can help to make the atmosphere at home feel lighter and more pleasant again.
How do you use essential oils to boost your energy levels?
You don’t need a complicated ritual. In fact, it’s often the simplest approach that works best in everyday life.
In a diffuser
This is the most popular method. Add a few drops to water, following the instructions for your diffuser, and let the scent diffuse for 15 to 30 minutes. Citrus and peppermint are popular choices for the morning, such as Lemon essential oil. When working or studying, rosemary is often chosen for its refreshing scent. Looking for an instant boost? Choose Get up and move.
As a room spray or on a fragrance stone
If you want to achieve a quick effect in a smaller space, a natural spray or fragrance stone is a handy option. You can use a spray, for example, in the hall, a treatment room or the living room. A fragrance stone is lovely on your desk, in the loo or next to your yoga mat. This way, the scent remains subtly present without you having to diffuse it constantly.
For use on the skin only, when diluted
Some essential oils are used in a carrier oil for massage or on pulse points, but only when diluted and only if the product is suitable for this purpose. Always check the label. Caution is advised when applying essential oils directly to the skin, particularly in the case of sensitive skin, children, pregnancy or breastfeeding.
In the morning, for a refreshing start
Whilst working or studying from home
After a busy day spent freshening up the room
For meditation, yoga or a moment of mindful transition
Safe and responsible use
Essential oil is highly concentrated. It is therefore better to use a little rather than too much. This ensures the scent remains pleasant and allows you to work with pure nature in a mindful way.
Always follow the instructions on the product label
Do not apply essential oil undiluted to the skin, unless explicitly stated
Take extra care during pregnancy, whilst breastfeeding, and around children and pets
Do not leave a diffuser switched on for longer than necessary and ensure there is adequate ventilation
If in doubt, it’s best to seek personal advice
