If you spend a lot of time in your car, consider using aromatherapy car air fresheners - essential oils which will help you to be wakeful and alert, yet relaxed and good-humored behind the wheel.

In short, aromatherapy can relieve driving stress. In addition to stress, drivers face fatigue and car sickness.

Aromatherapy car air fresheners use therapeutic grade level of essential oils in a diffuser or ready made hanging freshener.

These essential oils are powerful enough to work on your nerves. On the one hand, it’s great to know that scents like lavender and marjoram can help you calm down. On the other hand, you can’t risk falling asleep behind the wheel. If, however, you adore these scents and they make you feel happy and safe, then you can consider having them in your aromatherapy car air fresheners, but only in combination with other scents.

Scents that can help put you to sleep are:

lavender
marjoram
chamomile
sandalwood

Scents are incredibly effective in helping your mind stay alert. If I had a bracing, stimulating, blow your head off aromatherapy air car freshener in my car that fateful morning, I would not have fallen asleep. You might need to experiment with your aromatherapy car air fresheners to find the scent that helps you revive but does not give you a headache.

These WAKE UP scents include:

Eucalyptus
Bergamot
Rosemary
Lemon
Pine
Motion Sickness

If you are like me, after a while in the car you get motion sickness. There are some scents that quickly help to relieve nausea. These scents can often be found alone or in combination with other scents in aromatherapy car air fresheners. These scents can include:

Lavender (useful both to wake up and relax)
Peppermint
Ginger

If you don’t want to buy commercial aromatherapy car air fresheners, you can make your own.

Just drip four or five drops of your chosen essential oil on a cotton wool ball, and place it on the dashboard.
