Essential Oils for Emotional Support

Dear friends,

Essential oils can quickly enter the bloodstream through the skin and with aromatherapy- inhalation. Essential oils affect the ‘limbic’ part of the brain which connects to emotions and hormones. They are truly nature’s gifts. Simply taking a moment to “pause” can shift your awareness to being present and to the breath. Those moments of well being are the ingredients to self care and compassion. I find these shifts in awareness bring a sense of peace and inner calm. How about you?

Essential Oils for emotional support:

Anger

Jasmine, Ylang Ylang

Anxiety

Lavender, orange, geranium

Disappointment

Cypress, orange

Fear

Sandalwood

Grief and Sadness

Rose

Shock

Lavender

Stress

Vetiver, Ylang Ylang, Rosemary, Lavender, Clary sage, Geranium

Mental Clarity and focus

Frankincense-rosemary

Mental energy

Peppermint

Mental stress and fatigue

Eucalyptus

 

Essential oils are best  used when mixed with a carrier oil such as sesame, fractionated coconut oil,  or jojoba.

Two to three drops per oil mixed with a carrier works well behind the neck, ears, or chest. You may also mix oil into a massage oil for your body- up to fifteen drops per 16 oz.  A diffuser with a cool mist works well in the home or office. The company “Now” makes cool mist diffusers.

Holistic practices such as aromatherapy do not replace talking with a friend or therapist.
