Essential Oils are an invaluable study aid during exam time. In fact, essential oils can help whenever you need to focus, concentrate or eliminate mental fogginess. Breathed in, their tiny volatile molecules stimulate the olfactory nerve, are absorbed in the bloodstream and travel to the brain. Clarity Essential Oil is a blend which promotes a clear mind, mental sharpness and alertness. It also helps with memory retention.

Here are some tips to help with studying. Take periodic breaks to get up, stretch and move your body. Step outside to breath in fresh air. Drink water. Drink Ningxia Nitro. Diffuse Clarity or one of the other essential oils which help with concentration.  Apply Clarity to the back of your neck and bottom of your feet, especially your big toe which is a Vitaflex point connected to your brain. Another idea is to take a bath or shower to revive you. A few drops of Clarity can be put on a wet washcloth and rubbed on your arms, legs, neck, chest etc. You can put a few drops in your bath water mixed with Epsom Salt or make a body sugar scrub using Clarity  Essential Oil.  Here is the recipe: Mix together 1/4 cup organic coconut oil and 1/2 cup organic raw sugar with 10-20 drops of Clarity Essential Oil.

Meditation and breathing practices will also greatly help with focus and concentration.

Creating a study atmosphere in which you use essential oils will help you associate the smells of the oils with focus, concentration and a studious environment.

Rosemary Essential Oil has been shown to improve memory.

Single Essential Oils that help with concentration include: Cedarwood, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Juniper, Lavender, Orange as well as the oils in the Clarity Blend which are Basil, Roman Chamomile, Cardamon, Geranium, Bergamot, Rosemary, Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Peppermint, Jasmine, Palmarosa, and Coriander.

 

Since Lavender Essential Oil is also great for focusing, it can be substituted for all the bath/shower and other ideas.  A wonderful “wake me up/pep me up” is to mist your face and body with LavaDerm Cooling Mist while studying.
