Summer Is Finally Here!
Bask in the beauty of the sunny season with these top essential oils for the summer time
Summer can truly be a wonderful time for many of us, offering a chance to enjoy nature's finest without the concern of cold hands and faces. During this season, there are delightful scents that complement the warm days and enhance the summer vibe, even if the weather doesn't always cooperate.
However, along with the beauty of summer, pesky insects, sticky nights, sleepless hours, and fatigue can also show up. Luckily, we have the top summer essential oils to elevate your seasonal enjoyment and combat any unpleasant issues that may arise.
Let’s look at the essential oils;
Citronella - Best known for its exceptional pest-repelling properties, citronella is an excellent essential oil to have on hand when dealing with mosquitoes and other insects invading your home during the hot summer months.
Lemongrass - Lemongrass essential oil can double up as a powerful insect repellent. Its citrus fragrance also provides a milder and more enjoyable summertime scent to diffuse throughout your living space.
Lavender - In the realm of aromatherapy, lavender essential oil remains a beloved and enduring favourite. Known for its remarkable sleep-inducing properties, lavender oil is an excellent option to diffuse before bedtime, alleviating the discomfort of warm summer nights.
Peppermint - When the temperature rises, nothing beats the refreshing coolness and herbaceous fragrance of peppermint essential oil to rejuvenate the body. Apart from being a popular decongestant, peppermint is also effective in alleviating allergy symptoms and deterring spiders as the season comes to an end.
Bergamot- Bergamot essential oil is an enjoyable citrus solution to boost positivity levels. Similar to other citrus essential oils, bergamot is a naturally invigorating and uplifting oil, which can aid in banishing low spirits and tiredness resulting from long, exhausting days in the sun.
Tea Tree - Tea tree essential oil possesses antibacterial and antiseptic qualities, which can be beneficial for treating minor cuts, scrapes, or insect bites that are often encountered in the summer.

Please note that All SOiL essential oils are intended for external use only. Unless otherwise advised by a medical practitioner. Do not use undiluted on skin. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If sensitivity occurs discontinue use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision seek professional advice before use. Please keep out of reach of children.
SOiL advocates the responsible use of essential oils. We grow and source the finest quality essential oils from around the world to supply you with pure, potent plant extracts for aromatic and therapeutic applications. Essential oils are many times stronger than the plants they are derived from and are far more concentrated than the herbal tincture extracted from the same plant.
Accordingly, we recommend that you avoid oral use/ingesting pure essential oils without seeking professional advice beforehand. The issue is not the quality of the essential oils you take orally – there is no such thing as a ‘therapeutic grade’ of essential oil nor is one brand of essential oils safe to ingest over another brand. The issue is safety and even though essential oils are 100% natural, plant-derived extracts, they are botanical medicines which have the potential to cause harmful side effects when taken orally. Essential oils should only be prescribed for oral use in a clinical setting, by a suitably qualified practitioner.
There are many methods of obtaining the aromatic and therapeutic benefits of essential oils, namely; inhalation, massage, skincare preparations, bath and compress. If you require individual advice on oral use/ingestion or in relation to a specific medical condition, we recommend you consult a qualified practitioner, as described above.
