8. Peppermint Oil

Peppermint oil features an invigorating scent that can help boost energy, sharpen focus, and even provide relief from headaches. When diluted and applied to the skin, its natural menthol delivers a cooling sensation that soothes sore muscles and tension. In aromatherapy, peppermint oil’s refreshing effect is often compared to eucalyptus oil—both are revitalizing, but peppermint’s crisp, minty aroma makes it a favorite for clearing the mind and uplifting the spirit.
