Elevate Your Mood, Increase Your Energy and Feel Amazing with Elevation Essential Oil

Elevation essential oil is a phenomenal home remedy for stress, depression, fear, overwhelm, anxiety, low self-esteem, low motivation and more.

This is one of my FAVORITE essential oils and my favorite tool for a bad mood or overwhelming emotions. Sure, you still need to address what's bringing up these emotions for you. But it's so much easier to do that when you're starting to feel more elevated.

Elevated is really how you feel after using this oil too. I rub a small dab of this over my chest and throat and it lifts my bad moods. It doesn't matter if I'm having a bad day, dealing with hormones, or just woke up grumpy. It makes a real difference in the way I feel. (And when I feel good I can do anything!)

And when I use it on a good day? Wow! I actually need to be careful, because if I'm already in a good mood this blend of oils will get me so elevated I'm not very grounded! (I like to use it with another blend called Balance from the same company to..well, balance things out.)

The Oils in Elevation Essential Oil Blend

These uplifting oils stimulate your body's chemistry whether you're just feeling lethargic, depressed, cranky, unsettled or frustrated. The blend includes:

1. Lavandin: Derived from lavender, it helps with depression, stress and anxiety.
2. Tangerine: This oil is actually very calming and sedative to stress, but paradoxically also increases energy.
3. Elemi: A little know oil, elemi is an antidepressant and stress reliever and is said to be calming to the nervous system.
4. Lemon Myrtle: Most citruses, including this one, are very elevating and uplifting, as well as refreshing.
5. Melissa (Lemon Balm): It is thought to help with depression and anxiety. All citrusy, it is uplifting and energizing.
6. Ylang Ylang: Ylang ylang is well-known as an oil to induce feelings of self-love, confidence, joy and peace. Great for calming fears, promoting relaxation, and even increasing libido.
7. Osmanthus: Also a lesser known oil in this Elevation essential oil blend, it is common in Chinese medicine and is sweet, uplifting and smile inducing.
8. Sandalwood: Known as an antidepressant, aphrodisiac, and sedative, it calms and balances emotions and the nervous system.

Because of the citrus oils in the Elevation essential oil blend it's important to not use it if you'll be in the sun up to 12 hours after application.

How to Use Elevation

As described, Elevation essential oil is good to use anytime you're not feeling happy. You can use it if you're depressed, angry, overwhelmed, unsettled, anxious, frustrated, or just not in a good mood and you don't know why.

Aromatically - Can be diffused in the air or inhaled directly.
Topically - Can be applied directly to the skin or within a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, for young or sensitive skin. Start with one drop to 1-3 tsp of carrier oil and increase as needed.
NEAT - Neat means that most people can use Elevation topically without needing to dilute it first, although if you have sensitive skin or aren't sure, I'd recommend dilution.

Precautions: All citrus oils, including this one, increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun.

Using Elevation Aromatically

Using a quality diffuser, diffuse Elevation throughout the home during periods of stress or anxiety or on a daily basis. Add a drop to pillowcases before bed for good dreams or add a drop to the shirt collar or through your hair. You can also place a drop on a handkerchief or cotton ball and place in front of a fan, in your car vent on long commutes or even the house vent during periods of stress. And you can add to a wet cloth or sock before using the clothes dryer.

Using Elevation Topically

I tend to rub this directly on my chest (over my heart and throat chakra) or to the base of my feet. You can also use it in a bath, during a massage, to the wrists, behind the ears (this tends to be more sensitive for some though), or use as a perfume.
