Essential Oils for Fitness Resolutions

Essential oils to help you power through your newest fitness routine can be comprehensive based on your exact issues/needs.

 

 Improve Breathing

Breathing is one of the most important parts of any exercise routine. You can help promote improved breathing by applying a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils to your neck and chest before exercising. We’ve also put together our Breathe Essential Oils Blend to help open your airways by combining the more powerful respiratory oils into one. (Pro Tip: The breathe blend is also the perfect solution for a cold – letting you get even more out of your bottle.)

 

Combat Muscle Soreness

As your muscles get used to your new routine you are likely to experience some muscle aches. To help calm your mind and body using lavender or rosemary essential oils can help relieve soreness. We’ve also developed the Deep Muscle Relief Essential Oils Blend which can be massaged into tender muscles to help relieve pain.

 

Essential Oils for Weight Loss Resolutions

Weight loss is a goal often made alongside exercise. While diet and exercise will be essential to meeting your weight loss goals, essential oils can help you on your journey.

 

Increase Water Intake

To help prepare your body for increased movement and curb your appetite increasing your water intake is essential. If you’re struggling to make your body enjoy drinking water, consider adding citrus flavored oils to your water (the exact amount should vary based on amount of water and desired taste).

 

Our lemon and wild orange essential oils are most popular as a water additive, but grapefruit, lime, tangerine, and bergamot can be a tasty choice as well.

 

Prevent Weight Gain

You may not be as likely to have these essential oils in your cabinet, but they have been medically proven to help with weight loss. Garlic essential oils have shown to prevent overall weight gain, sage essential oils have shown to prevent obesity and protect against oxidative stress, and juniper essential oils help prevent water retention. The flavors may work best in a morning green smoothie or protein dish.

Getting Enough Sleep

Getting enough sleep is also essential to being motivated throughout the day. While a balanced diet and regular exercise can help with this, a few drops of our Good Sleep Essential Oils before hitting the hay can help ensure you are well rested when you wake. If you’d rather avoid applying essential oils directly, we’ve put together our sleep bundle that comes with a diffuser and our favorite sleep-inducing oils: patchouli, roman chamomile, and lavender.
