They’re also fantastic to use on rainy days when you wished it was sunny instead.

Which Essential Oils are Best for Summer?

Each season brings with it its unique feelings and vibes. Summer is no exception!

Using summery essential oils can support this wonderful season’s natural energies. June, July and August are generally considered summer months in North America. I usually match the mood of these months with suitable essential oils out of my aromatherapy library.

Use more of the following essential oils for summertime vibes:

• Refreshing: Spearmint, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus
• Citrus: Lemon, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Orange, Lime, Bergamot. CAUTION! Please beware of citrus oils’ phototoxicity.
• Flowery: Geranium, Palmarosa, Rose and Jasmine
