Essential Oils 101
Organic Essential Oils Can Change Your Mood
Gut health is affected by both internal and external sources. Naturally, the food you ingest largely defines digestive well-being. However, external sources such as eating disorders, anxiety, and stress greatly influence your gut. Therefore, my go-to for dealing with stress-induced digestive problems are essential oils.
Essential oils and aromatherapy began centuries ago. Today, our three main intakes of essential oils include inhalation, ingestion, as well as topical application. Inhalation, for example, is the oldest form of essential oil treatment and likely the safest. Simply inhale the oil directly from the bottle, dab on a cloth, or add to a diffuser. On the other hand, ingesting essential oils is less common, but no less safe. Experiment with essential oil intake wisely, some people are sensitive. Diluting the oil in certain drinks might help. Finally, rubbing essential oils on certain parts of your body work wonders for mental clarity.
