Anxiety is a tough battle to face day in and day out, which makes having a natural solution, such as an essential oil blend, important.
In a recent 2014 study by the American College of Healthcare Sciences, 58 hospice patients were given hand massages once a day for one week with an essential oil blend in 1.5 percent dilution with sweet almond oil. The essential oil blend consisted of these essential oils in equal ratios of bergamot, frankincense and lavender. All patients who received the aromatherapy hand massage reported less pain and depression, concluding that aromatherapy massage with this essential oil blend is more effective for pain and depression management than massage alone.

Probiotics have done wonders for my anxiety. Most of the serotonin is produced in the gut, our “second brain”. 👍🏻

I love using essential oils for all kinds of natural remedies:) I clean my kitchen counters with oils in my spray bottle & diffuse them. This video would’ve been helpful last year when I was having some anxiety/panic...I cut out gluten & sugar completely and within a couple days was feeling amazing. I then went off that eating plan after 4 months...then was eating SAD diet again for 6 months and was feeling like garbage again. So in January I pushed reset on no gluten & sugar and for REAL I feel great!!!! My gym workouts are getting stronger, I don’t feel so tense and anxious and So many other things are better. I just did a video about Anxiety on my channel too, Steps to take to cope with anxiety naturally. There is hope for anyone suffering with anxiety/panic attacks👏🏻🙌🏼 so thankful the Lord gives us natural ways & His word to bless us when we are in those valleys. I pray you are blessed today with peace & relaxation and most importantly that Jesus will get you through and take whatever is weighing you and your thoughts down with.🙏🏻. You will get through it and be stronger in the end!!

I was wondering about Frankincense. I got myself some to combat a cold and getting over that. I have been reading more about Frankincense and it's benefits for thyroid. So, I have been using my Aveeno lotion with lavender, chamomile, and ylang ylang. And then I add Frankincense. It takes a while to notice it, but I feel like it is beginning to help. My dad had a heart attack in Sept. and mom is dealing with breast cancer. So, you can imagine my stress. Glad to learn about essential oils.

I had debilitating panic attacks for a year that cycled though daily and nightly that even began to trigger phobias. One night I was just searching for remedies (as I did in all of my free time) and came upon an article on 'sugar and panic'. It explained how when blood sugars were low the body would secrete adrenaline to trigger the body to create sugar from stored protein. I cut out sugar and simple carbs and within three days my chronic panic attacks were gone.... If you ever notice panic attacks cycling with your meals or snacks then try going on a paleo diet with low intake of simple carbs. It can't hurt.

newguitarist29 did your panic attacks go away completely?

@newguitarist29 6 жыл бұрын

They did. I had anxiety or rather tight muscles in my neck for a few weeks but the panic attacks were gone. I did also switch to more of paleo type diet. But amazingly I had a rebound after going vegan for a bit but after going back to paleo they went away. I am not trying to sell paleo, I think pretty much any balanced diet would work. I just used paleo myself. Also my fear of flying went away as did my fear of dentists and malls.

Marco Rodriguez - Good luck! I am pretty sure I had hypoglycemia or hyper, can't remember exactly. Also try that magnesium calm drink and make sure you get all the B vits. I know it can be hard. I had doctors telling me it was all in my head and if I had listened to them I don't know where I would be today. Also note that I didn't do medication so I don't know if that might help.

So excited. Just started using essential oils a few months ago, along with continuing to improve my diet, and I LOVE them. I suffer from anxiety, which I know is fear, since my husband passed away 5 years ago. I cannot seem to fully relax since then, but these oils are amazing. They feel like home. My daughter is using them as well. I want to be certified in essential oils. The more I know about them, the better. Thanks Dr. Axe. Very informative video!

I am taking lavender oil under the tongue, it calmed my anxiety within 5 minutes, except i am not sure the long term safety. So will try organic lavender oil, and try to make my own with putting lavender in olive oil for a few weeks. My anxiety is due to stomach cramps. So I tried butterbur + feverfew, castor oils, damiana, pau d'arco + slippery elm, b1 + b3 500 - 1000 mg each, vit d3 k2, magnesium citrate + magtein All those works but need to rotate abit except vit b1 b3 d3

It's crazy how high anxiety is in our culture right now. I think it's from overstimulation and a barrage of information. Our brains aren't used to going nonstop! I've been experiencing that overwhelm lately (not quite to the level of anxiety thankfully), and I've been using oils to handle the stress. I use doTERRA Peace blend - it has a lot of calming oils in it like the one you mentioned. It's been so good in an Epsom bath too, since the magnesium in Epsom is calming to stress too.

Hi Dr. Axe, I started a plant-based diet five weeks ago and for some reason my blood pressure has been very high over the last week or two as high as 198/94. I’m also on high blood pressure meds Diovan. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong or what I need to do to change this. I do use essential oil‘s and especially lavender when I go to bed at night. Hope to hear from you
