ABOUT

Depression is a dark shadow that clings to you like a toxic relationship. It fills you with doubt, hopelessness, and overwhelming anxiety that instills a sense of perpetual gloominess that’s hard to lift.

Depression can be light as a feather in the back of your mind or completely debilitating in a way that interferes with sleep, eating, personal hygiene, and even the ability to get out of bed. No matter how it manifests itself, depression is an ever-present burden  many face everyday.

Essential Oils for Depression

Overcoming depression can be a long arduous road, but it doesn’t have to be! Using essential oils for depression is one of the easiest and gentlest ways to heal mentally and emotionally. 

Essential oils have a powerful effect on our mood and overall outlook, because they contain potent volatile oils that are able to cross the blood/brain barrier and directly affect the limbic system- the part of our brain that controls emotions like fear, anxiety, stress, and depression. Smelling certain essential oils, especially those with a high cineol content (like Rosemary for example), can have an immediate positive impact on mood.

Diffusing or directly inhaling essential oils has been proven to not only reduce depression but also reduce stress and positively affect the mind.

Essential oils have a profound energizing effect on the nervous system. Using essential oils for depression can help balance, relax, and restore the mind and body for easier recovery.
