Essential Oils to Stay Cool During Summer Heatwaves
Peaks and spikes in temperatures can ruin a gorgeous summer day like no other. Luckily, we are here to offer some natural relief from summer heatwaves, so you can get back to enjoying the warm weather - no pool necessary!
- Beach House: Chill out and embrace the beachy vibes of this synergy blend. Let the seaside notes of Coconut and Hawaiian Sandalwood fill your home and bring to mind tropical vacations and sunkissed summers - without the spiking temperatures.
- Spearmint: Cut through the oppressive heat and stagnant stuffiness with a few drops of Spearmint in your diffuser. This EO is minty, fresh, bright and slightly camphorous, bringing your home back into focus when temperatures have you feeling like you live inside a Salvador Dali painting.
- Peppermint: Another “-mint” that puts the heat on notice, this essential oil adds a little sweetness with its refreshing aroma. You can liken its aroma to the peppermint mints that accompany the check when you’re enjoying a meal out. And just as a peppermint mint clears away the hot, less-than-attractive after-meal breath, this EO helps to clear away the hot, less-than-amazing air a heatwave brings.
- Bergamot Mint: In keeping with the minty tradition, we next reach for Bergamot Mint. Like all EOs on this list, Bergamot Mint is refreshing, but its unique trait is in its seamless blending of menthol and fruity notes for an aroma that puts you at ease during the dog days of summer.
- Lemon: When the mercury in your thermometer jumps, the world around you can begin to feel a little fuzzy. Bring it back into focus with help from Lemon. Crisp, citrusy, clean, and, most importantly, bright, this EO can bring the zest back to your summer afternoons.
- Camphor: A leafy, fresh oasis isn’t necessarily the first image that comes to mind when we think “summer,” but Camphor’s aroma sure can bring that to mind. Diffuse this EO in your living room and you might just feel like you’re on a beautiful, forest island while the sun rages outside.
- Key Lime: This EO is sweet, tart, and likened to a lime popsicle. What’s not to love?! Sounds like the perfect summertime escape that doesn’t involve plane tickets to a tropical island.
- Grapefruit: What’s the perfect savior from summertime heat? Something citrusy, bright, sweet and tart, right? Luckily, Grapefruit exists, and it’s waiting to find a home in your diffuser.
- Citrus Cream: A synergy blend that is rejuvenating, fresh and fruity with a hint of vanilla, Citrus Cream is like the aromatic equivalent of a 50/50 bar. Find your chill amidst summer burnout with this synergy blend.
- Mountain Savory: Escape the heat and scale a snow-dusted mountain with one breath of this clean and refreshing essential oil. Crisp mornings and cozy sweaters may still be a few months away, but Mountain Savory can take you there — mentally, of course.
While these EOs are fantastic for rejuvenating your indoor air during heatwaves, it’s important to remember that your olfactory system is not the only part of your body that needs some love during rising temperatures. Be sure to hydrate often and try your best to keep your sun intake to a minimum. We recommend carrying a full water bottle with you at all times and listening to your body’s cues. If you’re feeling tired and run down, drink a few glasses of water and rest your body and mind.
