Stress Management

Essential oils are probably best known for their role in the area of stress management.

When inhaled, these volatile oils stimulate your olfactory nerves causing changes within the emotional center of your brain.

We have all experienced times when a familiar odor will conjure up peaceful images or emotions within us.

Scents are triggers that have a direct effect on your emotions and are therefore very effective tools for stress management.
