NOWFoods Essential Oil, Mental Focus Oil - 30 ml, 0.08 kg

Great product

Very spearmint. This is a very strong note, it is mixed with other things and when I smell it it kind of makes me sick to my stomach. Focus, but only on the smell. Maybe I used too much in my diffuser, but I don’t find it to be very pleasant. “Sweet smell”Personal opinion.But the oil smells what it’s suppose to.Quality is good.Shipped in a small package.On time.

I bought this for my 12 year old son who is doing a summer work book while off school and is a procrastinator in the major leagues! I was very optimistic. I didn't let my son know about the possible side effects of this oil, (namely to promote focus); he is used to many different oils being in the house. However, this particular one gives him a headache and he won't come into the space when it is in use. Personally, I find the smell 4, possibly 5 out of 10, not the most pleasant, but not the worst. I've tried mixing it with other oils, but it hasn't helped. I wouldn't buy it again, mainly because my son can't stand it. On a 'pawsitive' note, my cats seem to play more cooperatively when it is on ... 🐾 😊 🙀

I purchased this oil for both my son and myself. Mostly I wanted something for my son to use during his homework to help him focus. I also work from a home office and figured it couldn't hurt for me to use it as well. The smell is very pleasant. It has a minty smell and does seem to make me more alert when used. I diffuse 3-5 drops of the oil with my diffuser. My sons both found the smell very pleasant and would ask me to use it whenever I did not have the diffuser turned on. It did seem to help my son focus more on his homework (but sometimes he was more interested in watching the oil diffuse into a fog). I plan to continue using this blend during my working hours as it keeps me going when I'd normally reach for an afternoon cup of coffee.

The NOW Foods Mental Focus, smells fantastic! I have absolutely fallen in love with this stuff. I diffuse it at my desk when working, at my sons desk when homeschooling, and in my car (on a cotton ball in the air vent). I love the fact that they use 6 very easy to find oils. Lemon, peppermint, wintergreen, basil, Rosemary, and grapefruit e.o. make up this bottle. The bottle its self is dark to preserve and protect the oils from sun exposure. Also, like most essential oil bottles it comes with a plastic dropper cap.. Life saver if you don't have a glass dropper. The label is clean and simple and the ingredients/ instructions are easy to read.As for the effectiveness, I am no expert, but I honestly believe it does work. The strongest scents are the wintergreen and peppermint, which are known for their effectiveness in making you alert (along with a thousand other uses). Along with the other 4 oils, they all give you mental focus. I mentioned that I diffuse this at my sons homeschooling desk and I am pleased to say it works for him too. It keeps him more focused on the task at hand and not on distractions. If it can work on a autistic/ ADD 3 y.o. I'm positive it'll work for everyone.If you are new to the e.o. World and don't want to spend a ton of money on oils, NOW Foods is the way to go. It was hard for me to put aside what other people where saying about the purity of their oils but now that I have, I don't see any other way to go as a beginner.
