What Essential Oils Are Good For Concentration and Exam Revision

Six Essential Oils Used To Improve Concentration

I am guessing aromatherapy isnt the first thing you think of when you are trying to cram for exams or want to improve your productivity and creativeness in work.  Maybe you should consider using essential oils though as smell is one of our strongest senses and very capable on influencing positive brain activity.  THE SCIENCE BIT: Olfactory bulbs link to the limbic system and directly connect to the areas of the brain that process emotion and learning. What this means for us is that smelling something can trigger deep seated memories and remind us of someone or something. Here are six scents that Aromatherapists recommend (DR AXE-  Scentsy and the Wickfrees make no claims to the beneficial properties of oils we simply sell oils for fragrance) for boosting your productivity, mood and more at work/school or during exam revision time: Lemon Great for promoting concentration, Lemon also has calming and clarifying properties that are helpful when you’re feeling angry, anxious or run down. Lemon also has antiviral and antibacterial properties and can help fight sore throats and colds by boosting the body’s immune system and improving circulation.
