Relaxing Therapy with Essential Oils
Stress is a fact of life for all of us. No matter how happy you are overall, you are always going to experience periods of stress and you are always going to face certain pressures at any given time.
Stress is actually very bad for us in several serious ways. It’s crucial that we do everything we can to get it under control for our mental and physical health and as you’ll see in this post, there are several inexpensive and non-invasive ways you can do just that – using essential oils being one particularly good example!
How to Use Essential Oils for Combating Stress Hormones
Essential oils can be used to treat stress in several different ways. That is to say that they can be directly beneficial thanks to their active ingredients but also indirectly by providing relaxing and therapeutic sensations and smells.
In terms of using essential oils for their active properties, there are several particular oils that can be highly effective. These work by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in many cases. Serotonin is a chemical that is produced in the brain and often referred to as the ‘happiness’ hormone. This is responsible for helping us feel elated after we’ve eaten a good meal, gone for a run or had a great conversation with friends – and it also acts to reduce our perception of stress and of other negative emotions. It can even act as a naturally painkiller!
