Orange also brings peace and happiness to the mind. No wonder it is used for increasing creativity!
Ginger Essential Oil
Ginger essential oil is steam distilled from the root of the plant. Diffusing ginger enhances ones physical energy and gives courage. Ginger essential oil has a warm scent that is spicy, woody, sweet and sharp at the same time.
Ginger fragrance is gentle but stimulating, giving a good boost for creativity.
Lemongrass Essential Oil
The third essential oil in this creativity mix is Lemongrass. Lemongrass essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the plant. It is grown in India and Guatemala for distillation. It is widely used also in cooking, especially in thai food.
The aroma of lemongrass is lemony and sweet but strong, even a little bitter. Lemongrass essential oil is added into this creativity mix because its aroma promotes purification and psychic awareness. It is refreshing, and it helps restore general wellbeing.
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
