Calming
In today´s society anxiety disorders are becoming more and more frequent and the need for calm in everyday life becomes more and more important. Certain essential oils are reputed to enhance the feeling of calm.
A Swiss manuscript says that Melissa chases away black thoughts. Gerarde says “It makes the heart merry and joyful and strengtheneth the vitall spirits” Melissa is reputed to have both soothing and calming properties.
Cypress has anti-spasmodic qualities and Cedarwood has a tonic and stimulant effect making it helpful for reducing stress and promoting calm. Both Cypress and Cedarwood have a warm woody scent which makes them appeal to both sexes. Chamomile Roman oil is soothing and calming and has anti-inflammatory properties.
To promote feelings of calm take time out of each day for yourself even if it is only 15 minutes. Put on some music, run a bath and add a few drops from any of the oils listed above or alternatively put an oil burner in a room with a few drops of essential oils diluted in water and relax. If you do not even have 15 minutes try one of the 'Calm Head' rollerballs and keep it in your pocket for times when you know you need to be especially chilled.
