This month my focus is Anxiety. I have battled with anxiety my whole life. 

It is common to lump anxiety into a super generalized category when in fact, it is a disorder that shows up in so many different ways. For me, anxiety is a warning sign. A time to investigate. This is where I feel aroma therapy is so powerful. Utilizing essential oils as therapeutic agents can alleviate symptoms while encouraging deeper exploration beneath the surface. 

I feel there is a time when traditional medicine is definitely necessary, however, I’m not convinced that a lot of distress cannot be balanced from within.

Let’s use my Breathe Synergy Blend as an example. Oils such as Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Peppermint can help expand the lungs and deepen the breath. This can also prompt us to delve into the underlying emotional currents. I feel this is the real medicine. YOU are the real medicine. You are the detective, the doctor.

What is in my medicine box for anxiety? Chamomile Roman. 

This oil is a member of the daisy-like plants in the Asteraceae family. Growing close to the ground, it exudes a grounding energy. Its shallow roots give it the ability to cover large areas, creating an energy of expansion. Its fragrance is a delicate blend similar to fresh-cut grass and apples. 

Chamomile has many medicinal properties. I use this oil to soothe the nervous system, to calm down emotional and physical distress. Once the symptoms are lessened, I can begin to listen for clues to solve this anxiety.

My pathway to health involves continuous exploration and adjustment, utilizing essential oils to understand triggers. 

Chamomile Roman, my anxiety ally, finds various applications:

• Bath: Add 5 drops to a running hot bath for an encompassing, heightened aromatic experience. Its anti-spasmodic nature eases body discomfort, while its nerve-calming effect shines.
• Shower: A few drops on the shower floor create a soothing ambiance.
• Diffuser: Add 3 to 5 drops in your diffuser. As the diffuser releases a fine mist into the air, it will carry the chamomile aroma throughout the room. Relax and enjoy the calming scent.
• Floral Water: Recently added to my product line to support my anxiety investigation, Chamomile Floral Water shines. Post-bath or shower, a spritz covers face and body, creating a calming ritual to open up solutions.

Chamomile Roman, with its multifaceted uses, embodies my dedication to self-discovery and holistic wellness. Explore more on my YouTube blog, where I delve into its potential as a potent tool for managing anxiety.
