Stress Relief with 7 Essential Oils

What Is Normal Stress?

Stress can be defined as a mental, emotional or physiological response to factors we are exposed to in our environment. Stress typically describes a negative state of mind that can have an impact on our mental and physical well-being.

Modern life is full of hassles, work deadlines, frustrations, and demands by family and society. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life.

How Essential Oils Can Relieve Occasional Stress?

The brain plays a critical role in the body’s perception of and response to stress. The amygdala is a small, “almond”-shaped structure located bilaterally, deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain and is a part of the brain’s limbic system, with projections to and from the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and locus coeruleus. Thought to play a role in the processing of emotions, the amygdala has been implicated in modulating stress response mechanisms, particularly when feelings of anxiety or fear are involved.*

Essential oils have an effect on the limbic system of the brain and therefore they can be used for stress relief as well as emotional support.
