Essential Oils UN-MEDICATING WOMEN’S EMOTIONS

Un-Medicating Women's Emotions

Here are a few other stand-out statistics from the report on antidepressants:

23% of women in their 40s and 50s take antidepressants, a higher percentage than any other group (by age or sex)

Women are 2½ times more likely to be taking an antidepressant than men (click here to read a May 2011 article in the Harvard Mental Health Letter about women and depression)

14% of non-Hispanic white people take antidepressants compared with just 4% of non-Hispanic blacks and 3% of Mexican Americans

Less than a third of Americans who are taking a single antidepressants (as opposed to two or more) have seen a mental health professional in the past year

What are essential Oils

What are essential oils

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark,

stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.

They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant.

If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or

the smell of fresh cut mint, or zested an orange or lemon then you have

experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils.

In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide

plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in

plant pollination.


Frankincense

Myrrh

Sandalwood

Cinnamon


Essential oils have been used throughout recorded history for a wide variety of wellness applications.

The Egyptians were some of the first people to use aromatic essential oils extensively in medical practice, beauty treatment, food preparation, and religious ceremony.

Frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh, and cinnamon were considered very valuable cargo along caravan trade routes and were sometimes exchanged for gold.

Borrowing from the Egyptians, the Greeks used essential oils in their practices of therapeutic massage and aromatherapy.

The Romans also used aromatic oils to promote health and personal hygiene. Influenced by the Greeks and Romans, as well as Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic use of aromatic herbs,

The Persians began to refine distillation methods for extracting essential oils from aromatic plants.

Essential oil extracts were used throughout the dark ages in Europe for their anti-bacterial and fragrant properties.

How are they used ?

There are three ways that Essential oils can be used.

Aromatically

Topically

Internally

How are they used?

How are they used? Aromatic Uses

Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways including the

stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes.

Aromatherapy is founded on the body's predictable response to specific

olfactory stimuli.

Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain

essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very stimulating, while others

can be calming and soothing.

How are they used? Topical Uses

Due to their natural molecular composition, essential oils are

easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.

Application of essential oils can have immediate, localized

benefit to the target area of application.

They have restorative and calming properties and can be used

effectively with massage and beauty therapy. They are also

natural disinfectants.

The chemical structure of essential oils also allows them to be

absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit

throughout the body.

How are they used ? Internal Uses

Essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety

of healthy conditions.

Some essential oils have powerful antioxidant properties while others help

support healthy inflammatory response in cells.

Essential Oils and Emotions

How Do Essential Oils Affect

Our Minds and Our Emotions?

Essential oils affect our minds and our emotions. All aromas have a

potential emotional impact that can reach deep into the psyche,

both relaxing the mind and uplifting the Spirit.

Our sense of smell is estimated to be 10,000 times more acute than

our other senses and sensitive to some 10,000 chemical compounds.

Once registered, scent travels faster to the brain than either sight or

sound.


Of Science and Anatomy - How Essential Oils Affect Our Minds

When we inhale the fragrance of an essential oil, the odor molecules

travel up the nose where they’re registered by the nerves of the

olfactory membranes in the nose lining.

The odor molecules stimulate this lining of nerve cells and trigger

electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain.

The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the amygdala -

where emotional memories are stored - and to other parts of the

limbic system of the brain.


SMELL BYPASSES THE BRAINS THINKING CENTERS

• Smell is the only one of the five physical senses that is directly linked to the limbic lobe of

the brain - our emotional control center.

• Feelings of anxiousness, Feeling down, fear, anger, and joy all physically originate from this

region.

• A certain fragrance can evoke memories and emotions before we are even consciously

aware of it.

• When smells are concerned, we react first and think later.

• All other physical senses are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard

for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the conscious thought center) and

other parts of the brain.


“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22)

SO HOW DO WE USE ESSENTIAL OILS TO HELP OUR BODIES?


Balance – To ground you in your own center

Balance is a favorite oil of mine.

The blend is especially good when you feel overwhelmed, scattered,

confused, unstable, ungrounded, off-kilter, or distant from your body,

your loved ones, or life in general. When you’re struggling to be in the

present moment, overstimulated or hyperactive, or overly busy and

having a hard time juggling it all or focusing on priorities.

It contains Spruce, Rosewood, Blue Tansy, and Frankincense. I love this oil

on my feet, over my solar plexus, or aromatically.

Use it in the morning to center yourself before starting the day, and do

like I do: carry it in your pocket or on a keychain throughout the day.


Bergamot – All about the self: self-love, self-acceptance, self-approval

it’s all about the self (little S self, primarily).

I don’t care if you’re struggling with “what others think” or loving your body

or appreciating your unique blend of talents (instead of comparing yourself

to someone you think you “should” be like)

Carry it with you and use in conjunction with affirmations every time a self-

critical thought arises .

Apply it over your solar plexus every morning. Or wrists like me.


Citrus Bliss – To invigorate, relieve and bring about smiles

This yummy oil is beautiful for stress, worry, feeling down, or feeling

nervous. It helps the body to calm the mind and the balances the

emotions. It just makes you HAPPY!

Use it to nurture a sense of playfulness, creativity, energy, spontaneity,

and abundance. So ideal for artists, writers, and other creative

people!

It’ll help you step outside your comfort zone in fun ways, let go of

insecurities and heaviness, and have some fun!

Try diffusing this one throughout your home or office to put everyone

in the happy-happy-joy-joy around you.

You can also apply it to the bottoms or feet or the solar plexus if

you’re not going in the sun.


Clary Sage – For spiritual clarity and openness

Traditionally, clary sage is used for balancing women’s hormones.

Spiritually, clary sage is all about clarity. It’s about being able to see

Truth, and beliefs, and walking in deep wisdom.

Doing this opens us to new paths and potentials, showing us what we

couldn’t see through our own veils, and taking us in the perfect

direction.

It’s especially good when you feel stuck or blocked, unable to decipher

which direction to go, and confused or discouraged as a result.

I use it with meditation, prayers and journaling


Clove – To establish healthy boundaries

This oil may help us to break nasty patterns of laying ourselves out as

doormats, standing ourselves up with confidence (and love), and

speaking our Truth with compassion.

It can help you body to find your own inner strength, to speak up,

say no, state your needs, make requests, and honor your own

boundaries in order to end cycles of victimization and

codependency and establish healthy relationships or end unhealthy

ones.

This can be a strong oil is you have sensitive skin, so diluting might be

necessary. I’d recommend massaging it into the feet to help ground

you, or using it aromatically.


Cypress – For unblocking and clearing emotions

Cypress is about letting go and allowing things to come and go, learning

to allow Life to ebb and flow without blocking it or trying to control it. It

brings bottled up energies to the surface, helping you to DIG IN, process

through it, and release it, and it teaches us to trust the process of Life,

instead of micro-manage it or stuff it.

Cypress is when you are ready for some deep healing. It acts like a

sledgehammer to the emotional damn, letting all that bottled up stuff out.

Try this one over the heart center, or anywhere you feel blocked. Even just

a drop on each big toe every day will do the trick.


Elevation – To lift you out of dark places

This oil truly does elevate you out of deep, dark places. Being down, heaviness,

sadness, It doesn’t remove the problem, so much as lift you up and place you

on top of it with a higher perspective and a weightlessness that will enable you

to address it in healthy ways.

It helps those who take Life too seriously learn to play and let go of the burden

they carry on their shoulders, and it raises vibrations drastically, helping you to

let go of the attachment to those dark places we can sometimes find ourselves

experiencing.

I love this one over my solar plexus, heart, throat, or just inhaling it straight from

the bottle several times.

Try using it aromatically (I sniff this one straight from the bottle) with Balance to

elevate your energy while helping you still keep two feet on the ground.


Frankincense – Spiritual connection with Source/Life

Frankincense is one of the highest vibrational oils I’ve ever

experienced. Some call it the oil of Truth. I think of it as the oil of Spirit.

Meditation, yoga, prayer…all are aligned with frankincense.

This oil reminds us of our source, of the truth of our Self, and connects

us to Divine Love.

It can also support a sense of being loved and lovable, connecting

from our heart, and opening and aligning our chakras. It’s also ideal

for self healing on a cellular level

Apply over the brow, throat, heart, etc. I love to inhale it and layer it

over other oils – especially Wild Orange


Geranium – The oil of feminine and motherly love

This is another oil of the heart, along with Ylang Ylang, but with a focus on love,

trust, and communication of your emotions in healthy ways.

It can help your body to process feelings of anger, fear, distrust, hurt,

abandonment, forgiveness.

It also helps us to connect with ourselves and with others, especially our family of

origin. I see this oil as a very “feminine” oil, especially connecting us to our sisters,

mothers, and grandmothers, and I love it for addressing those relationships.

It’s nurturing, loving, and enveloping, reminding us we can be safe in those

places of love, and safe to receive generous love without suspicion.

I love it over my heart center, or even add it to lotion or baths.


Juniper Berry – Clearing fear and resistance

If you are going to be looking inward, you NEED Juniper Berry. This oil is all

about facing the stuff we’re holding deep within, with confidence and

without fear.

It helps our bodies to release resistance to looking inward with ease, so

that what needs to be revealed can come to the surface and we can give

it the time, space, and energy it needs to be healed.

Try this one over the brow, behind the ears, back of the neck, or diffusing

before Digging Deep or at bedtime.


Lavender – The oil of communication

It is an excellent tonic for the nervous system. It can help the body

to decrease nervous exhaustion and restlessness while increasing

mental activity and relaxation.

Lavender helps the body to encourage emotional honesty. It is

through open and honest communication that love is experienced.

I use this in the diffusor, topically and in baking


Marjoram – For connection and trust

Another heart oil, this one focuses on trusting ourselves and others.

It helps us to identify and own our own emotions and needs, and reach out

to others in safe and healthy ways. It helps us see others with eyes of

compassion, understanding them and the things that may drive them to act

hurtful, while giving us the ability to still offer them our love.

It enables us to access that place within that lets us speak softly, clearly, and

with empathy, while still honoring ourselves and our need to be seen, heard,

and feel safe, and helping us discern when to self-protect and when to open

ourselves to the Love all around us.

I love diffusing this one throughout the day. It creates such an environment

of tenderness and love. You can also apply it to the heart center or inhale

directly from the bottle.


Sandalwood – For meditation and spiritual practice

This oil is so sacred. It’s ideal for meditation, prayer, and any spiritual

practice of connection to your own understanding of Consciousness.

It helps our bodies to release attachments to the veils we hide behind, as

well as the attachments to the things that are holding us back from our

own spiritual.

Use a drop over your brow or aromatically (diffused or straight from the

bottle) and you’ll see what I mean.


Serenity – To calm, soothe, and relax

This is such a calming oil. It’s so perfect for times of stress, anxious, over-

tiredness, and when every cell in your body seems to be wide awake

despite your best efforts.

It’s really helpful to use at night before bed, to stick in the air vent of the

car on long trips, to calm a crying toddler, to soothe fears, or when your

brain just won’t shut off.

It creates peace and harmony in the body and the environment. The

blend contains Lavender, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang,

Sandalwood, and Vanilla Bean.

A couple drops work well over the heart or the feet


Thyme – For releasing, letting go, and forgiveness

Yes, it smells like an Italian kitchen. And you’ll love it. Like Cypress it can help

you release trapped energies, but with an emphasis on unresolved emotions

that you’ve been hanging onto more consciously.

It helps to clear the body of the poisonous emotions that will eat away at us

(like hate, anger, resentment, bitterness), and come to a place of peace

and freedom from their affects.

It’s about being emotionally free of what others are accountable for, so that

you can move forward in your own life. I’d say try this one over your heart as

well as your solar plexus or feet.


White Fir – The oil of generational healing and breaking patterns

We all have generational baggage we carry around us.

White Fir helps us do that. It really doesn’t matter what the pattern is

(physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), this oil helps our bodies to become

conscious of the pattern, uprooting anything that has taken root that no

longer serves us.

It gives your spirit the courage to stand tall and grow in new, forward

directions without condemning or blaming anyone else for what they were

capable of doing.

I like to use this one along my spine (the support center) and my feet.


Wild Orange – The oil of abundance and possibility

In the same way it opens us to receiving, it opens us to giving as well, creating a

free-flowing cycle of generosity in and out of our lives.

It helps us process and drop our limitations, beliefs that keep us stuck or playing

small, and ideas of “not enough” (whether it’s “not enough time” or “not enough

money” or “I’m not good enough”).

It helps you to relax, not take it too seriously and find ways to create and meet your

needs without feeling guilty or feeling stuck.

Diffuse this one in your office, sniff it straight from the bottle, or rub it over your solar

plexus (but not if your belly will be exposed to the sun). I promise you’ll love this oil


Wintergreen – The oil of surrender

This oil can help in allowing the body to surrender - the result can be the

emotional freedom and weightlessness you’re craving

This oil is especially supreme for the micro-managers or control freaks in the

audience, showing us the world really does keep turning without us

running in circles.

it helps our bodies to trust the process of Life to create a natural flow that

far exceeds what we could even fathom, let alone create out of our own

sheer will, good looks, and stubbornness.

I like to use a couple drops of this oil topically, anywhere my body is

holding tension.


Ylang Ylang – The oil of the Heart

Ylang Ylang my favorite Heart Center oil.

It touches a heart that is heavy with stress, despair, grief, or hurt. It helps to

softly and gently dismantle the walls we place around ourselves, and it

shows us how to accessible love, patience, and gentleness really is.

Ylang Ylang also helps us release past trauma, buried emotions, and our

deeper human needs for love and connection.
