Stress can deplete your energy and immune system, compromising your health. That is why it is so important to control stress. Essential oils can be used to help you beat stress.

Emotional and mental stress can be especially damaging to your body's immune system. When experiencing high stress, your body's immune function decreases and can lead to diseases.

Essential oils can promote balance and calming effects on emotions. Their powerful, yet non-addictive properties, make essential oils a valuable alternative for relieving the build up of stress and tension.

What Essential Oil Helps with Stress?

One of the best things you can do for your health is to find ways to manage stress. While there are many ways to do this, one of the most effective is to use essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that have been used for centuries for their healing properties.

They can be used in a variety of ways, including diffusing them into the air or applying them topically to the skin. Some essential oils, such as lavender and chamomile, have calming properties that can help to ease anxiety and promote relaxation.

If you're feeling especially stressed, you might want to try a combination of essential oils known as "Stress Relief." This blend typically includes Lavender, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, and Orange essential oils.

8 Stress Relief Essential Oils

Stress is something that everyone deals with in their life, but sometimes it can become overwhelming. The key to stress relief is finding what works for you and incorporating it into your daily routine.

Essential oils are natural remedies that can be used to help reduce stress and anxiety, and more!

Here are my top 8 I like to use for stress relief:

1. Sweet Orange Essential Oil

  • Citrus scent similar to a freshly cut orange

  • Gentle enough to use in blends for children
  • Feel relaxed, restored, and uplifted

2. Lavender Essential Oil

  • Offers reassurance and strength

Frequently Asked Questions on Essential Oils for Stress Relief

Here are some frequently asked questions on the topic of using essential oils for stress relief. The use of essential oils for stress relief can help to reduce the cortisol levels, a stress hormone, in the body, thereby providing a calming and calming effect on the body and mind.

How do essential oils work?

Essential oils are full of volatile compounds from plants that affect your limbic system—the part of your brain that controls emotions and memory. When you inhale the aroma of an essential oil, the molecules travel through your nose and into your lungs where they are then absorbed into your bloodstream.

From there, they go to work on your nervous system, helping to lower stress and promote relaxation.

How can I use stress relieving essential oils?

Essential oil inhalation is an effective way to reduce cortisol levels and promote relaxation, as it allows for the inhalation of essential oils which can act on the body's nervous system, providing a calming effect on the body and mind.

When it comes to winding down after a long day, nothing beats a warm bath infused with essential oils that can act on the body's nervous system, providing a calming effect on the body and mind, followed by a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed.

Can I use lavender oil for stress relief?

Lavender oil is one of the most popular scents in aromatherapy for stress relief. It has a calming and relaxing effect on the body and mind, and can help to reduce anxiety and promote deep sleep. If you're looking for an essential oil to help you decrease stress, lavender oil is a great place to start.

Can I use Clary sage essential oil for stress relief?  

Absolutely! Clary sage essential oil has been used to reduce stress and anxiety, and promote a sense of calm. It is known to have a sedative effect on the body, which can help to reduce tension and promote relaxation. It is also a favorite for women's issues, like PMS symptoms.

Can I use bergamot essential oil for stress? 

Bergamot essential oil is a great choice for stress relieving, as it has a calming and uplifting effect on the body and mind. Bergamot oil has a sweet, citrusy scent. It can help to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as improve mood and mental clarity.
