Stress Management with Essential Oils
How do they Work?
Essential oils have a chemical structure that is found in human blood cells, skin cells, and tissue. Their lipid-soluble structure is compatible with human protein and enables them to be readily identified and accepted by the body. The unique ability of the essential oil's lipid-soluble structure is to penetrate the membrane of the skin and diffuse into our cells. This is part of the affinity plants have with people.
Essential oils and human blood share several common properties. They fight infection, contain hormone-like compounds, and initiate regeneration. Working as the chemical defense mechanism of the plant, essential oils possess potent antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Using the right essential oils in your home, in a diffuser, bath, and your skincare products offers this same protection to you as they do for plants. The natural affinity plants have for people is to bring back balance and protect you from illness, fatigue, stress, emotional disorders and instill harmony, peace, calm, joy, and beauty.
Stress may cause disease and release more cortisol and other stress hormones which shift our balance emotionally, as well as physiologically. The endocrine system becomes impaired, cannot produce the hormones we need to function daily, our ability to fall asleep or sleep deeply leads to more stress, it shifts our moods in a downward spiral, and changes the delicate balance of our digestive system, this triggers back to the brain and the cycle continues wreaking more inflammation and causing disease.
A few simple changes to your lifestyle may help reduce stress. A love and appreciation of plants, herbs, and essential oils naturally calm the soul. Cooking with fresh herbs and good spices, walking through the garden, flower bouquets in the middle of the winter, herbal tea, and pure essential oils for the atmosphere in your home, environment, and body.
Do you diffuse, have a humidifier, a wood stove with a pot of water on top of it? Essential oils vaporize very well. For stress or an environment where someone is sick my recommendations are Frankincense Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, and Lemon Essential Oil. These essential oils purify the atmosphere delivering a peaceful state of mind.
Place three drops each of Lemon EO, Lavender EO, and Frankincense EO into a diffuser, humidifier, or pot of hot water. They are gentle oils; your pets can smell and enjoy their calming effects as well.
A complete bouquet that sends the clearing vapor of Lemon citrus to cleanse the air and your Ol-factory system, so that lavender's floral aromas can diffuse a calm that defies all others, and frankincense's sweet, spicy, woody aroma will draw you closer to a peaceful state of mind.
