Essential oils have a powerful effect on your stress systems and can be used on their own or as part of other wellness practices. We recommend dōTERRA products due to their high quality and purity.
- Lavender – Clinical research suggests that inhaling lavender may help to soothe agitated feelings, manage occasional bouts of anxiety, and promote a feeling of calm.
- Clary Sage – Inhaling linalool-rich clary sage has been shown to induce relaxation, along with stabilizing breathing rate and blood pressure.
- Peppermint – Diffusing peppermint may help promote focus and alertness.
