Best Essential Oils For Stress
***Disclaimer - this post may include affiliate links***
As you all know, I use essential oils daily. I live and breathe by oils in both my personal and professional life.
September is certainly a time for transition and change. Whether you’re starting a new job, hobby, or moving house, change can bring about a lot of excitement, as well as anxieties.
Stress is an undeniably uncomfortable state of being. Have you ever found yourself at the end of the week feeling nothing but stressed and confused?
There are many ways to help relieve those feelings. One way is meditation, which I will be writing about more in a few weeks on this blog. Research collected from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory found that meditation can be a form of medication for stress. In my own life, I find meditation and essential oils can go a long way in improving a stressed state.
In my earlier blog, I explained that I use oils in 3 ways: Inhalation, Ingestion and Application. Whenever I’m stressed, feeling under the weather or just plain tired, I’ll get my oils out and allow myself to relax.
I’ll let you know which ones I use specifically for stress and why:
1. Lavender - aromatherapy, connection to the limbic system (the part of our brain that is connected to our emotions)
2. CBD - helps with anxiety and mental health as it relaxes your body.
3. Rose - a strong recognizable lovely scent that lifts people’s moods in minutes.

4. Camomile - just like the tea, camomile helps us with upset tummys and anxiety - this has been an ancient oil that has been used as a medication for Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians.

5. Frankincense - the sweet and strong smell calms people down.
Though these are my favorite oils to choose from when dealing with stress, there are plenty of other oils that I love to use. If you’re interested in learning more about oils, join my FB Group Jackie Fernandes Essentials - Home to find out about other oils that I often use.
