Aromatherapy uses the highly distilled and pure essential oils of plants. Over 500 such essential oils are used for various applications. A number of these are known to help calm and relax not only people but often our pets as well.
Frankincense is another calming essential oil. It was one the three king's gifts for a reason. Frankincense possesses the unique ability to clear the mind of past hurts and fears. It has calming and relaxing properties that will help to ease the anxiety of a stressful situation. It works wonders for human adults and children as well as for animals.
Juniper has a fresh scent that can help eliminate crankiness and irritability caused by tension. Combined with lavender oil and Clary-sage oil and heated on aromatherapy lamp juniper will wash away stress and anxiety.
Other essential oils that will help to restore calmness are chamomile, orange, lavender, basil, lemon and cypress.
Chamomile provides deep relaxation. Orange helps to promote self assurance. Lavender soothes frazzled nerves. Basil, lemon and cypress all help to provide focus which has a calming effect.
Stress and tension spread as negative energy through a household. When dad is stressed from work, it affects everyone. So too when mom is overwhelmed with multi-tasking or junior with homework or that just remember term paper due tomorrow.
