Aromatherapy for Stress
Relief:
Great Health Benefits
 Using
Aromatherapy for stress relief is easy and
fun, and the benefits are numerous. Stress relief with essential oils
balances the body, returning it to a normal, balanced state. The
parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" system) calmly
takes over and the body can recover and reenergize. Your emotions will
subside and your brain will clear.
What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of
essential oils to heal our bodies and balance our emotions. Essential
oils are the distilled essence of plants--the liquids that result when
plants are distilled, and the lighter, aromatic molecules in the plant
are captured. They contain the pheromones, the oxygenating capacity,
and the healing capacity of the plant. Because of their unique make-up,
essential oils are excellent for relieving stress.
Essential oils can benefit the
body by reducing stress physically, emotionally and mentally. They have
a very real chemical effect by influencing the limbic center of the
brain, balancing and tonifying the organ systems, even by cleaning the
receptor sites in the cells. But they also have an energetic effect,
raising the vibration of our bodies to promote a feeling of well-being.
When I am particularly stressed, this well-being feels like a bit of
grace, relieving me of the suffering of stress.
On top of all these healthy
benefits, you should also remember that essential oils smell good and
are fun to use. How many times does your doctor prescribe something
which makes you smell good on a date? When you feel tense, try some
aromatherapy. Stress relief has never been more fun.
