We\u2019re getting more and more enquiries from people asking how they can use essential oils at work. And, of course, they also ask whether it\u2019s a good idea to use aromatherapy in the workplace.<\/p>

I\u2019m currently typing this blog post in our lovely office in Heiloo. The scent of all the essential oils is wafting in from every direction, so I can only give one answer to that last question, and that\u2019s YES \ud83d\ude0a! It\u2019s really lovely to use certain scents in the office or any other workplace. Of course, it\u2019s good to be considerate of your colleagues, as not everyone is immediately on board. Fortunately, that\u2019s not an issue for me \ud83d\ude09. <\/p>

Things to bear in mind<\/em><\/h2>

When choosing a particular oil, it\u2019s a good idea to bear your colleagues in mind. Avoid choosing a scent with a strong effect. This could, for example, trigger an emotional reaction in your colleagues, and you don\u2019t want that. Take \u2018Inner Child\u2019, for instance. You don\u2019t want colleagues to be \u2018overwhelmed\u2019 by the oil\u2019s energetic effects when they haven\u2019t asked for it. <\/p>

Choose a theme that suits your workplace. If you work somewhere where the energy feels intense, then, for example, the Clean Energy<\/a> a good frequency to use. If his colleagues get stressed easily, it\u2019s a good idea to look for a calming frequency such as the Calming<\/a>. <\/p>

Always discuss with your colleagues that you\u2019d like to use an essential oil. Perhaps everyone will be enthusiastic straight away, in which case you might even be able to set up a diffuser. And perhaps your colleagues will have questions about it, giving you the chance to explain things more clearly and spark their interest after all. <\/p>

Be aware of any contraindications if colleagues have certain medical conditions. That is why it is a good idea to discuss the use of essential oils in the workplace. For people with, for example, epilepsy or high blood pressure, it is advisable to seek advice from an aromatherapist or to read up on the subject on our website. Any contraindications are listed for all our single-note oils. This ensures you can use the oil safely at work. However, pregnant women should not use just any oil either. This is also clearly stated. on the website<\/a>. <\/p>

Ways to use essential oils at work<\/em><\/h2>

However much you might enjoy using essential oils, not everyone is keen on them. People who\u2019ve never even heard of essential oils, in particular, can come up with all sorts of reasons why you definitely shouldn\u2019t use them. \u2018Scents always give me a headache\u2019 is something you\u2019ll hear from many colleagues\u2026 But the great thing about natural oils is that they actually cause headaches in almost no one. Perfume scents, especially from those large diffusers that blast out a scent every 20 minutes, give many people headaches. This is due to the chemicals they contain, which also cling to fabrics and the like, meaning you keep smelling the scent constantly. <\/p>

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to wear your favourite fragrance without it \u2018bothering\u2019 your colleagues.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

\u27ba Use a small evaporator<\/a> made of, for example, wood, plaster or felt, on your desk or at your workspace, onto which you can apply a few drops of oil so that the scent evaporates but doesn\u2019t fill the whole room. <\/p>

\u27ba If you want to rid the room of an unpleasant smell or energy, place a diffuser<\/a> Switch it on about 30\u201360 minutes before your colleagues arrive. Yes, you might have to get out of bed a bit earlier\u2026 But perhaps your colleagues will notice the difference after all and be won over \ud83d\ude09. You can always switch the diffuser on after work, once all your colleagues have left. Many diffusers can be set to switch off automatically after a certain period of time. <\/p>

\u27ba Spray the product around your aura. This way, you\u2019ll still benefit from the scent\u2019s frequency, but your colleagues won\u2019t be bothered by it. Make sure you use the spray in a place where there\u2019s no one around, or where there\u2019s enough space for the scent to dissipate quickly. <\/p>

\u27ba You can also use a spray with a specific frequency to \u2018treat\u2019 a room, for example Clean Energy. Spray in every corner of the room when everyone has left to have lunch. That way, the frequency can do its job and nobody is bothered by it. By the time your colleagues return to the workplace, the smell will have dissipated but the frequency will still be present.<\/p>

\u27ba Apply a roller of your favourite fragrance to your wrists and neck. This way, none of your colleagues will be bothered by the scent. Don\u2019t have your favourite fragrance in roller form? No worries! You can make a roller out of any oil using the special DIY kit<\/a>. <\/p>

\u27ba And perhaps the best tip of all\u2026 Let your colleagues smell different scents that you think would be suitable for the workplace. Ask them to choose a scent and explain how the frequency of that scent makes you feel. By letting people experience it for themselves and explaining it, you\u2019ll really win them over to your diffuser \ud83d\ude09. <\/p>
