Why We LOVE essential oils!

Why We LOVE essential oils!

Posted by Erin Nelson on 22nd Feb 2018

Did you know that inhaling essential oils can lift your mood, boost your energy levels, reduce cravings, and calm anxiety?

Breathing essential oils can calm anxiety, help you relax, soothe a headache, brighten your mood, excite and awaken your senses, reduce pain and curb your cravings.

When you breathe in volatile organic compounds emitted from plants (essential oils), your olfactory receptors in your nose sent a signal to the receptors to the primal part of your brain that regulates mood, emotions and memory. This is why smells are often linked to specific memories - like the wafting cinnamon rolls baking in Grandma's kitchen.

I absolutely LOVE essential oils for this very reason. We all breathe and it is a simple, easy way to enhance your mood, calm your spirit, release tension, and help you sleep...just by breathing.

Let's talk about ways to breathe in essential oils. You can use a diffuser, a topical rollerball application, an inhaler, or an air spritzer. All are easy, effective ways to use essential oils for your benefit.

Run your diffuser in the mornings to set the mood for the day. Try a blend of peppermint and sweet orange in the morning to wake and invigorate you. At night to set the bedtime mood and blend of lavender and roman chamomile will set a calming air to your room and relax you as you drift off to sleep. (Run the diffuser 15 to 20 minutes before bed and always turn it off at night before you sleep.)

Another easy way to breathe in essential oils is to use rollerballs. Apply the blended, diluted essential oils to your pulse points, across your forehead, under your nose on your hands and feet. These are easy to use and portable so you have them at the ready anytime of day. We have several rollerball blends to choose from including: Headache Eraser, Mood Lifter, Hippie, Soothe Me, Bite Relief, Sinus Relief, Muscle Rescue and a blend to help you concentrate. We also have a Frankincense Rollerball that is revitalizing.

Simply opening up a bottle of essential oil and inhaling is also an easy way to enhance your mood.

Essential Oil Spitzers are a great alternative to room deodorizing sprays. Basic spritzer formulas can enhance any room. Use them in the bathroom, your car, locker, kitchen, etc. Our lavender linen spritzer spray is of course wonderful for ironing linens, but it is also very nice sprayed on your pillow at night for an easy way to fall asleep.
