Be it good times, stress overload, or turbulent times, one of the body’s first reactions is to produce an imbalance of your emotions. Don’t you wish you could feel more emotionally balanced when these stressful events occur?

Well, you can with the help of essential oils (EOs), which is very comforting to know. EOs help to maintain control of how your body responds to stress by fostering the right environment. This in turn produces a calmer state of mind, so that you can begin to heal. EOs can also increase your spiritual awareness to help you connect.

During times of stress overload, EOs are a safe and effective not only for your emotional health, but also for your physical health. They are fast acting and have zero negative side effects. They achieve this by balancing the frequencies required to calm your body and balance your emotions.

In fact, essential oils are 40-60 times more powerful than the herbs they are derived from. Through the body’s limbic system, EOs directly interact with your brain and the emotional responses created.

The limbic system is a complex system of nerves and networks in the brain that involve several areas near the edge of the cortex concerned with instinct and mood. The limbic system controls your ‘basic emotions’ such as fear, pleasure, anger; and also ‘drives,’ such as hunger, sex, dominance, and care of offspring.

In addition to providing support for emotional balance, EOs also help with fighting off unfriendly microorganisms by strengthening the body’s immune system.

When the body’s emotional vibrations are raised and balanced the immune system is strengthened for optimal health.
