When it comes to stress and anxiety, many of us are constantly on the hunt for remedies that can help us find relaxation. Although the usage of oils, which come from botanical families, has been around for centuries, essential oils have become increasingly popular due to the proven beneficial effects they have when used both topically and for aromatherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s how it works: when you breathe in the aroma of an essential oil, cells in the nose receive the aroma molecules and send signals to the limbic system of the brain, that is, a system of nerves concerned with basic emotions and mood. The limbic system is also connected to the parts of the brain that control blood pressure, stress levels, and hormonal balance. Feeding this system with essential oils can balance emotions and the other functions that the limbic system controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Essential oils can be used for many things, from headaches to DIY beauty products<\/a>. When it comes to dealing with stress and anxiety, it is crucial to know which oils are best for the job. Below are some of the best essential oils for stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Considered to be one of the most commonly used essential oils, lavender\u2019s calming floral aroma makes it excellent for nerves and anxiety issues. It has an impact on the nervous system, and can remove tension and emotional stress, while also increasing mental activity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the fresh and natural tart lime scent this oil offers, it helps to improve the mood and invigorate the senses. It can also help with stimulation, overall well-being, and emotional balance. If you\u2019re feeling down or uninspired, try diffusing lime oil for an uplifting mood boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Previously compared to the drug Valium, jasmine oil has a positive effect on the body\u2019s stress response, heart rate, body temperature, alertness, breathing, and blood pressure. Jasmine tea, for instance, also works to promote relaxation and healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This oil contains a citrus-like fragrance with a distinctive spicy floral quality. It has a good sedative effect, due to the calming, warm aroma it provides. You can also try combining this with Frankincense essential oil<\/a> to help reduce pain and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With its strong, cooling minty aroma, Eucalyptus oil<\/a> is recommended when you\u2019re feeling sluggish or mentally exhausted. Being a stimulant, it can be effective in treating stress and mental disorders as inhaling its vapor helps increase blood circulation<\/a> to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLavender Essential Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
