How stressed out are you? Do you always feel like you have a hundred balls in the air? You work all day doing the job of two to three people and you didn't get a raise when they laid off the other person in your department and transferred their responsibilities to you. When you come home there is still more. And then, when you finally get a break, you can t relax. You re too wound up from your day. That s where using Essential Oils comes in!
How Essential Oils Work
Essential oils have chemical constructions that both heal physical wounds and soothe emotional issues. Essential Oil molecules are microscopically small. Because of that, they have the ability to cross the brain-blood barrier and deliver themselves to the amygdala, limbic system, and hypothalamus parts of the brain. These areas are where our emotions and hormones are regulated. So, just by inhaling essential oils, you can quickly minimize stress, anxiety and depression in no time!
Let s look at how soothe some common feelings with Essential Oils.
