The antidote to your mounting anxiety might be right under your nose!
Our sense of smell is connected to the same part of the brain that processes emotion. Incorporating essential oils is a great way to manipulate our moods and emotions.
Essential oils are plant extracts from leaves, bark, blossoms, bulbs, rind, seeds, wood, resin, roots, or bulbs.
The oils have chemotypes and remarkable therapeutic properties [sedative, balancing, uplifting, analgesic, antidepressant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant, calming] once absorbed into the bloodstream either through the skin or inhalation, having both profound psychological and physiological effects. Chemically, they are more powerful when skillfully blended together rather than used singly.
We are living in times where we want to seek comfort and soothe. Scent can do this for you. Scent can lift mood, warm the heart, or quiet the mind. Lavender has gentle sedative properties and nicely relieves tension. Rosewood lifts depressive thoughts, calms an overactive mind, and invites a sense of peace. Rose balances our emotions and is beautifully nurturing and comforting.
