Top 10 Essential Oils and Combos for Supporting Stress and Anxious Feelings

Stress is one of the most critical health issues for Americans...especially right now. Excessive stress has devastating effects on our health. Here's what happens when you're constantly stressed out...

#1 - The adrenals send out cortisol into the bloodstream. Over time, this chronic cortisol weakens the endocrine system, liver, digestive system, the brain, slows down your thyroid, etc.

#2 - The excess cortisol production caused by stress depresses the immune system, which leads to catching every little sickness you come in contact with. This is also often a root cause of autoimmune disease.

#3 - Chronic stress overworks the adrenal glands which can lead to abnormal estrogen/progesterone ratios & thyroid imbalances.

#4 - Elevated cortisol decreases your liver’s ability to detox excess hormones out of the body which can lead to estrogen dominance, PMS & menopausal symptoms.

#5 - Elevated cortisol can lead to hypothyroidism & weight gain around the waist.

#6 - Elevated cortisol lowers white blood cell production making it harder for your immune system to fight.

#7 - Chronic stress increases insulin output & can cause insulin resistance or even type II diabetes.

The good news is that essential oils can reduce stress almost immediately when inhaled or diffused!

Why is this?

Because your sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system of your brain...which controls emotion. When you smell an essential oil it can immediately affect how you feel & reduce stress levels dramatically! 

Incredible? Yes! Wait till you try it …

Top 10 Oils & Combos for Stress and Anxious Feelings:

Balance + Serenity + Wild Orange

Around here we've nicknamed this the “Happy Blend”. And it's true! Diffuse 3 drops each of Balance, Serenity, & Wild Orange.

Adaptiv + Wild Orange

Adaptiv has been a life saver for so many. It really helps so much. Rub 1 drop of Adaptiv & 1 drop of Wild Orange on your chest. You can also add 2 drops of each to the diffuser. Adaptiv is an AMAZING blend for all things mood related.

Combining with citrus makes it smell even yummier & ups the mood lifting ability of this combo. You can substitute any citrus essential oil for the Wild Orange here.

To get the most help from Adaptiv, make sure to use the Adaptiv supplement too - not just the oil blend. The supplement contains GABA which is clinically proven to help with mood. It also contains other helpful things that work wonderfully in combination with the Adaptiv blend essential oil.
