Need to unwind? Preliminary research suggests that breathing in the sweet aroma of orange essential oil may help alleviate your anxiety. A type of essential oil long used in aromatherapy, orange essential oil appears to enhance mood while promoting calm.
A number of other essential oils may offer natural anxiety relief. For instance, rose essential oil may help lower your breathing rate and blood pressure during stressful situations. In addition, lavender essential oil has been found to have a calming effect on the nervous system.
While nearly everyone struggles with anxiety every now and then, it's important to watch out for signs of an anxiety disorder. If you're experiencing symptoms like a near-constant presence of worry or tension, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disruption, make sure to talk to your healthcare provider.
As always, thanks for the great tips for natural solutions. So many of my patients have used medications to treat condidtions that can be treated naturally, so it’s great to read about all of these tricks that people can use.
“Happiness in a Bottle” anyone? Wild Orange is the best. A drop or two in the palm, rub hands together to get some friction then tent over your nose and inhale deeply a couple of times for a totally uplifting experience. I call it “happiness in a bottle” and it is natural, safe and best of all legal. Find out more and get some at totalwellness.doterrapro.com
Remember not all essential oils are natural. Some are created in a chemistry lab and can have negative side effects, make sure you only use CPTG “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade” essential oils.

Great tips! For those who have many years of experience practicing alternative health, you can now get an honorary doctorate degree @ http://www.ladc-institute.com. For people out there like myself, who have lots of experience but no time or need for beginner’s classes, this was a perfect solution. And cheap too.
Thanks for the great information. Can you provide the source of the research into the benefits of orange essential oil? I love sharing this type of information, but only if I can include the source (ideally a link to the actual research results…pub med, abstract, etc).
Thanks!
