Your Answers:

Rosemary - 43%
That's a pretty wide spread between the
answers but, the majority got it right! Well done!
On the 4/17/12
episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz recommended rosemary essential
oil to be used for an energy spritz bottle. There are many scents to
support energy in the aromatherapy world. Knowing that, if a
recommended scent doesn't appeal then look for another that's
suggested for the same concern.
The Answer:
Rosemary Oil
Place a sprig of fresh rosemary with
some water into a little spritz bottle and let it sit overnight. Use
the rosemary infused water as an energizing toner spray to gently
spritz the face for a pick-me-up anytime. As the infused water dries
on the face you'll be able to smell more of the rosemary scent.
By inhaling the scent of the rosemary,
the energizing effects will bypass the cortex and go right to the
brain for an energy boost. We found out his week on The Dr. Oz Show
that rosemary is Dr. Oz's favorite spice and that he loves the scent.
If fresh rosemary isn't available then
try essential oils. Start with one drop in a spritz bottle and see
how that scent suits and if needed add another drop or two.
Ginger and
Eucalyptus
The website Aromatherapy-At-Home.com
recommends both ginger and eucalyptus for energizing essential oil
scents. If rosemary isn't your favorite scent then perhaps try ginger
or eucalyptus in a spritz bottle. I like the idea of eucalyptus
because it also supports the respiratory system. Eucalyptus is a
commonly recommended scent to help when the nasal passages are a bit
stuffy.
Aromatherapy-At-Home.com
suggests a blend of 10 drops Lemon, 5 drops Frankincense, and 15
drops Pine when needed energy in cases of exhaustion. So there's
another set of oils and scents entirely.
Take a look at the Essential Oils for
Energy on Aromatherapy-At-Home.com.
There several blends and single scents recommended not only for
energy but, also for mental fatigue and mental tiredness.
Lavender
Lavender
is commonly used as a soothing scent, to calm and reduce feelings of
stress, and is often recommended to help ease the pain of a headache.
Lavender is one of my favorite scents, in fact I have flourishing set
of lavender plants that multiples each year. In summer, my yard is
the place for bees to mingle
among the lavender.
