Refreshes and invigorates on hot and slow days

Do you feel exhausted, your head hot, and all your energy drained? Sometimes a refreshing boost is enough to revive your mind and make you feel clear and energized again. 

Essential oils can provide just that lightness – they awaken the senses, bring a new sense of freshness, and help you stay alert and present. A deep breath and an invigorating scent refresh and revive the mind, creating a feeling of lightness, even on hot summer days.

Invigorating fragrances for summer

Especially on warm, humid days, citrus scents and lemony herbs like lemongrass or citronella provide a pleasant freshness. They are ideal for room fragrance or as an ingredient in organic room or travel sprays. Various types of mint, especially peppermint, also have a refreshing effect. Spraying the organic peppermint plant water directly from the refrigerator onto the skin or the "Be Refreshed" organic room spray with lemon provide wonderful cooling.

Why are these scents refreshing?

Essential oils contain highly effective ingredients that have a direct effect on our well-being.

• Peppermint oil contains menthol, which docks onto the thermoreceptors and thereby triggers an immediate feeling of cooling.
• Citrus oils, consisting primarily of limonene, have an invigorating, concentration-enhancing, and mood-enhancing effect. Their refreshing effect unfolds particularly psychologically—the pleasant feeling of freshness is often a trained, positive refreshment experience.
• Citronella and lemongrass oils have a fresh, lemony scent that is not only invigorating and activating, but is also known as a natural mosquito repellent. They promote a clear, refreshed atmosphere and can enhance well-being, especially on hot days.

Important note: When mixing your own body oils or sprays with citrus oils, please note that these can increase the skin's photosensitivity. Therefore, before sunbathing, it is advisable to use only oils labeled "low in furocoumarin."

Summer drink with lemon oil

A refreshing summer drink with essential lemon oil brings lightness to hot days. Important: Essential oils are not water-soluble and require an emulsifier to ensure they are distributed safely and evenly in the drink.

Recipe for lemon-infused water:

• 1 drop of essential aroma oil lemon (kitchen aroma set)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (as an emulsifier)
• juice of half a lemon
• m00 ml chilled mineral water or sparkling water
• fresh mint sprigs and organic lemon slices for decoration

Preparation: Combine the honey or maple syrup with the lemon essential oil in a pitcher, then add the lemon juice and water. Stir well and garnish the pitcher with mint sprigs and lemon slices. Enjoy immediately!
