Aromatherapy for Mental Health
You may well already have a number of essential oils tucked away in your home that you use for making the house smell nice, but do you feel confident using them for their therapeutic capacity?
Essential oils are the most potent form of plant medicine we have. So potent in fact that they often come with warning labels.
Research has shown that blending different oils together can result in an entirely new molecular compositions where the sum is greater than the parts. Learning which oils to blend and how is key.
Eugenol found in clove essential is known to promote balance in mood and reduce the stress response in the brain, a 2015 study found that it helped to maintain normal gut function even during stressful periods.
Clove when blended with other oils can help shift your nervous system function to a parasympathetic state (rest and digest) and ease the fight or flight mode.
