Using Aromatherapy to Ease Anxiety

Aromatherapy promotes relaxation and decreases levels of stress and anxiety; furthermore, aromatherapy is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to transform your space into a zen zone.

As we have all learned in the past year, staying at home can be isolating and emotionally challenging. If you are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety because of COVID-19 stay at home orders and restrictions, you are not alone.

For the past ten months, we have all had to use our creativity to create spaces of relaxation in our homes that are separate from our remote working environments. If you haven’t gotten around to creating this space in your home, purchasing an aromatherapy diffuser is a great way to start.

Aromatherapy is the act of inhaling diffused essential oils to promote relaxation. It is quite simple: all you need is a bottle of your favorite essential oil, an aromatherapy diffuser and water. Simply fill your diffuser with water, to dilute the essential oil, and drop 5-10 drops of the essential oil into the water. Turn your diffuser on, then breathe deeply to maximize relaxation results.

If you are using aromatherapy to relax, use essential oils such as rose, lavender or chamomile. If, instead, you are looking to sustain your energy, try using orange, jasmine, or eucalyptus oil.

If you experience short bursts of stress and tension, aromatherapy might be a perfect solution to help you unwind and relax. It is important to note that essential oils are not FDA regulated and they do not replace the need to be treated by a doctor for mental health issues, such as prolonged anxiety.
