In this blog, look into the five best essential oils for focus and productivity you can use throughout your day. While they keep you going, they’ll also help you stay calm and free of stress. 

Peppermint essential oil

Peppermint essential oil is fresh and awakening. As one of the best essential oils for focus and productivity, it improves performance by helping decrease fatigue and tiredness. If you’re feeling like you need a quick boost of energy, place a couple of drops inside your diffuser and take a couple of deep breaths to fill your body with vibrancy and vitality - the natural fuel for productivity. 

Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Known to be sweet and cheerful, Sweet Orange essential oil also makes it among the top five best essential oils for focus and productivity because of its refreshing and uplifting effect on the body. Sweet Orange acts as a great natural mood-enhancing essential oil, which is sometimes exactly what we need to get going with our work. Good energy, good vibes, and a good mood to cancel out any worrying or stressful thoughts. Instead, let’s replace them with positivity and hard work!

Frankincense 

Besides being one of the oldest and most versatile essential oils. Frankincense is a must-have when it comes to essential oils for focus and productivity. A lot of the time, one of the main reasons why we tend to tire or become distracted at work is because of stress and feeling overwhelmed. Frankincense essential oil is great for becoming grounded, calm and reducing our stress. A few drops in a diffuser can take your work day from being high-paced, to one wrapped by a relaxed and forgiving state of mind. 

At work, you can indulge in the benefits of Frankincense with the Focus Driver Natural Perfume and with the Deep in the Forest Natural Perfume.
