How Do Essential Oils Relieve Stress And Anxiety

Essential Oils are known to have a direct effect on the parts of the brain that control anxiety, stress, depression, and fear. Once the essential oil enters your body, it sends a signal to the limbic system of the brain and tells it to relax.

There are a number of scientific studies that have proven just how effective different essential oils are at reducing anxiety, stress and depression. In this article by the American Journal of Nursing Science they highlight how essential oils are an effective complimentary treatment for anxiety. Read here to know more about the use of essential oils as a complementary treatment for anxiety.

Rose

Rose essential oil is one of the highest vibrational oils available. It’s high frequency makes it’s very comforting and helps soothe the emotional heart and helps to relive panic attacks, grief and feelings of anxiety and depression.

Researchers found that compared to the placebo, rose oil caused significant decreases of breathing rate, blood oxygen saturation and systolic blood pressure, which indicate a decrease of autonomic arousal. At the emotional level, subjects in the rose oil group rated themselves as more calm, more relaxed and less alert than subjects in the control group.

Bergamot

Best known to support the nervous system, enhance mood and build confidence, bergamot essential oil can reduce tension and agitation in the mind and the body. Similar to other citrus oils, Bergamot oil boosts your mood and energy levels and reduces feelings of anxiety and nervous tension.

Bergamot can also fight symptoms of depression like sadness, fatigue, lack of appetite, disinterest, and feelings of helplessness.

Frankincense

Frankincense is well known for its ability to calm the mind, ground your energy and ease anxiety. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology reported frankincense “causes behavioral as well as anti-depressive and anxiolytic effects in mice” containing “an arsenal of bio-active small molecules with a considerable therapeutic potential that is far from being utilized.”

In taking Frankincense essential oil, you can use a diffuser and add about 18 drops to disperse a healing scent, rub it on the back of your neck, place 1 to 2 drops on your palm and inhale it anytime, or place a drop directly on your tongue.

 

 

Roman Chamomile

A peaceful, calming scent, chamomile promotes a feeling of inner peace and decreases irritability, overthinking, anxiety and worry. According to a 2009 study by University of Pennsylvania researchers published in the “Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology,” found that chamomile essential oil has a calming effect on anxiety symptoms and “may provide clinically meaningful antidepressant activity that occurs in addition to its previously observed anxiolytic activity.”

Another study published by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health found that chamomile capsules have been shown to ease anxiety symptoms.

How to Use Essential Oils

Essential oils can be used in 3 ways: topically, aromatically and internally.

Aromatic Use

Inhaling essential oils is the most popular and well-known way to use essential oils. You can simply open your essential oil bottle and take a deep breathe in, rub 3-4 drops into the palms of your hands and cup over your nose, or drop them on a tissue, inhale and enjoy. Diffusers are also a great way to enjoy the aromatic benefits of essential oils.

Topical Application

Placing an essential oil on your body is a fabulous way to experience the benefits of essential oils. When the oils touch the skin, they penetrate and work very quickly.

Don’t forget that essential oils are extremely powerful, so it is a good idea to dilute and blend with a carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil.

Internal Use

Many essential oils can be taken internally. However, it is critical to make sure that the oils you use are safe and pure. We only recommend doTERRA oils because we trust their quality. You can add a drop or two of oil to a glass of water, place directly under the tongue, place oil on your thumb and press the oil into the roof of your mouth, or put into a vegetable cap.
