Mood Mangement with essential oils

As it happens the last few weeks I’ve seen a theme emerge: stress & mood management!

We know that stress has a whole lot of negative impact on our overall thyroid health. There are quite a few tools in my stress/mood management toolkit, including diet, sleep, saying no, creating ‘white space’ but my essential oils are a very important tool in that toolkit!

In this episode I talk about:

My experience with essential oils – going from a smell hater (because they made me feel sick!) to a smell lover.

What essential oils are
How essential oils work (aromatically with our olfactory system and topically entering our bodies through the skin).
What essential oils are NOT

Different essential oils, that because of their chemistry are perfect for when you want to calm and settled during the day, and restful at night.
A few of my favourite ways I use these oils in my daily routine.

The Emotional Wellness Starter Kit is the kit I refer to in the podcast. It includes:

Adaptiv: for adapting to the ups & downs of life.

Balance: My long time favourite go to when I feel stressed.

Lavender Peace: For more intense relaxing and a favourite at bed time in our house.

Citrus Bliss: A beautiful fresh oil to diffuse to lighten and lift the mood.

Elevation: Mood lifting at it’s best!

Petal Diffuser: Easy to use diffuser – 1, 2 and 4 hour settings with a night light.

I suggest adding a Fractionated Coconut Oil ($16.50) so you can apply these oils topically as well as use in the diffuser.
