Essential Oils for Emotional Health<\/strong>

Many people live each day struggling with low mood, anxiety and\/ or depression and many are desperately seeking ways in which to help elevate and lift their moods. What if I could explain to you that in one little 15ml bottle an answer could be found to help ignite hope to a better way of feeling?!\u00a0

Let's begin with the body! The body releases various chemicals in response to various emotions. As an example, the body releases serotonin, dopamine or oxytocin when emotions are in a higher state. The experience of stress will cause the brain to instruct the release of cortisol and the body's response will be of urgency and fear.

Acute or chronic emotional stress can have a profound effect on the body and cause a range of illnesses from headaches to digestive issues and lack of sleep to name a few. The emotions triggered by a perceived threat initiate the release of specific messenger molecule chemicals which, attach to certain receptor sites of cells within the body and affect cell function. Our thoughts and emotions effect our chemistry in the body and our chemistry affects our biology. In nutshell emotions trigger cell activity!

Our sense of smell is our most primal and exerts most influence over our thoughts, emotions, moods and memories and behaviours. A human nose can distinguish over one trillion different aromas.\u00a0It can be accurate to say we can literally smell danger as our sense of smell is inextricably connected to our survival and it plays an important part in us remembering what is safe and what isn't.

By the time we are able to think and actually make a decision as to what we are smelling, the scent has already triggered the emotional and body responses in the body.

Smell can be beneficial in healing and scents are experienced long before words. Scents can actually change the nervous system biochemistry and are used for relieving stress, improving mood, improving sleep, upping energy levels etc.\u00a0

Queue... 'essential oils'..... and their ability to rapidly create an emotional response within the body. Essential oils are powerful for emotional balance and wellness. Moods are often perceived as having chosen us, as if happening to us. But what if we could use essential oils to create the mood we wish to experience? Rather than feeling victimised by our own emotional states, what if we had our own apothecary of essential oils in the home and select to generate a mood?\u00a0

Unlike medications or drugs that are designed to alter behaviour, essential oil complex molecular structure allows them to intelligently bind to receptor sites of cells in our bodies and support a desired effect to restore balance and healthy function.

As an example; if an individual is deficient in serotonin for an extended period of time, their habitual response to life is likely to be one of anxiety, anger, worry and hopelessness perhaps.

If the individual starts to use wild orange (for example), a well known anti-depressant due to it's ability to uplift, yet calming properties, you may find the individual leaning towards happiness, hopefulness, trusting and less reactive. Therefore, able to handle and cope with life more positively.

Essential oils offer a refreshing and effective support tool to mood management and potentially aid in the emotional healing process and help to shift out from old bad habits into more positive patterns of behaviour.
