Depression

Help, I’m depressed

There are several essential oils which will help. Geranium, Lavender and Bergamot (known as “Natures Prozac”) are traditionally regarded to be the best. However, there are several additional oils that have risen to prominence in the last five years for treating depression

· Petitgrain - very gentle but strong uplifting and balancing effect on the psyche which can help individuals to “see problems in proportion”.

· Spearmint - ideal for individuals whose stress symptoms are overwhelming them to the point where they cannot “think straight” or concentrate

· May Chang (Oil of Tranquillity) - slows down breathing and can help reduce feelings of panic or the “can’t switch off” phenomenon.

· Palmarosa - refreshing and mentally and physically uplifting

If in doubt which one choose the one/s with the scent which is most comforting to you.
