Today, I’m going to talk a bit about some uplifting essential oil blends to help fight fatigue.
We’ve almost made it a virtue in our culture to stay over-busy.
Yes, I’m guilty of this too. We love to relay our war stories of how many different balls we are juggling and how sleep deprived we are. I’ve made strides to remedy this, but there are some things in life that are simply beyond my control (like…a baby that will be arriving soon and keeping me up nursing through the night).
While it’s smart to simplify and get the rest you need, for those days when you need a little pick me up don’t reach for the caffeine reach for one of these 5 uplifting essential oil blends to fight fatigue!

How to These Uplifting Essential Oil Blends
Many essential oils offer properties that can uplift your mood, fight fatigue and give you that extra boost of energy to get through the day ahead. These oils are nature’s gift and are here to support your total wellness.
Before we hop right to the fatigue fighting uplifting essential oil blends, let’s chat about how to use these blends. I made some mistakes when I first started using essential oils and I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I did. These essential oil blends can be used in one of two ways:
- Use topically—diluted! Please don’t make these uplifting essential oil blends and apply directly to your skin. Be sure to dilute them with a carrier oil (here’s a post all about carrier oils in case you’re an essential oil newbie and need some info). How much you dilute your essential oils depends on a number of factors, but here is a general common sense guide to diluting essential oils you can use to guide you. If there is one blend you particularly like, you can always make up a roller bottle using the ratios listed to keep on hand for easy pre-diluted application throughout the day. I love roller bottles for their convenience.
- Diffuse it! My favorite way to use essential oils is still through diffusing. Yup, I have a diffuser in nearly every room of my house. Make the blends and just place a few drops in your favorite diffuser. These uplifting essential oil blends will give a pick-me-up to anyone who happens to be around (ok…so maybe you don’t want to diffuse them around your crazy 2 year old! ha).
