A blend of essential oils is often more effective for promoting symptomatic relief and healing than any single essential oil. The best oils to use in a blend to calm your nerves and relieve anxiety, worry or fear include: Petitgrain, Vetiver, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot and Spikenard.

METHODS OF APPLICATION:

METHOD 1: Direct inhalation is the method used most in Germany and the one I use most is my aromatherapy practice.

DIRECTIONS - Dispense 1-3 drops of your pure essential oils blend onto a cotton ball. Breathe in their vapors for 30-60 seconds. Breathe in slowly and pause briefly on your inhaled breath. Then slowly exhale, letting go of any tension.

Repeat this slow, rhythmic breathing five more times. Aromatic oils stimulate your olfactory nerves which send a signal to your brain's neuro-receptors, triggering numerous electro-chemical responses.

Research shows that essential oils will remain in your bloodstream for up to 4-6 hours.

METHOD 2: Bath ~ Fill your tub with water, add 5-8 drops of your essential oil blend that has been mixed in a dispersant such as a carrier oil, milk or cream, or a spoonful of honey, swish to disperse in the water. A half cup each of Epsom Salts (muscle relaxant, detoxifier) and Baking Soda (skin softener) can also be used to disperse the oils in your bath water.

PLEASE NOTE: Essential oils are not water soluble you must use a dispersant when adding them to a facial steam or bath and water may cause the oils to penetrate your system more quickly or cause irritation to sensitive or damaged skin, i.e. blemishes, sores or rash.

METHOD 3: Dispense 15 drops of your essential oil blend into a 1 ounce bottle of your favorite carrier oil, shake your blend well and allow to synergize for 24 hours, or longer as time permits.

Dispense 1-3 drops of your blend in dilution into the palm of your hand, inhale and apply to your temples, chest, kidney and abdominal areas. The oils will enter through the neurovascular gateways located in these areas to effectively trigger your relaxation response and promote balance and calm.
