Scents That Keep You Alert While Driving

 
In today’s busy traffic situations it is essential that you stay alert. This can be difficult if your head is foggy after a hard day at work or if you haven’t had enough sleep and feel like nodding off at the wheel.

 
There are several essential oils that can help you combat fatigue and sharpen your senses while you are driving.  Any oil from the mint family is especially effective as they are stimulating to brain.  This includes spearmint, peppermint and wintergreen oils.

 
Another livening scent is cinnamon. It is especially effective when used in conjunction with any of the mint oils.  The same is true of rosemary, which is used to increase focus and concentration.

 
If it is a hot day and you are drowsy, distressed and feel like you are on the edge of losing your mind because you are stuck in traffic or just had another driver flip you the finger, essential oil of lime can help cool down a potential case of road rage.
