The Best Essential Oils for Reducing Stress
Managing our stress is so important, especially now. When the body is under stress, the functioning of our immune systems get suppressed. Our nervous system can only be in stress mode OR healing mode, and healing mode is when all the systems of our body do what they need to do to keep us in balance.
Keeping ourselves calm and balanced can be really challenging with the current global headlines, drastic routine changes, and anxiety about how this is all going to play out. What I love about using essential oils is that they can work in moments where I really need it. Within seconds of inhaling the aroma of any of the oils in this picture, signals are sent to the brain to tell it to calm down. It’s amazing because these oils work even if you don’t believe it. The ones that have been by my side the past couple weeks are:
🧘Adaptiv: the calming blend, smelling it feels like a wonderful sigh of relief
🌳Balance: the grounding blend, smelling it feels like getting a hug from a giant tree
💫Copaiba: incredible for soothing anxiety and excellent support for the immune system
💆♀️Peace: the reassuring blend, smelling it feels like a soothing rub on the back
🤗Console: the comforting blend, smelling it feels like getting a hug straight from the bottle
Using oils actually helps me use other stress relieving tools like breathing practices, yoga, and meditation. The support they provide me allows me to fully benefit from all these other practices, which is why I’ve incorporated oils into all aspects of my daily routine. Here’s what’s on rotation in my home and the protocol I’m turning to for support.
