The Aromahead Blog - Aromatherapy Education and Resources

I have been getting a lot of questions about using essential oils for anxiety.

I understand that anxiety and overwhelm are difficult emotions.

I understand that you can’t just “think yourself into a better place.” (If only it were that easy!)

And I get that you’re looking for natural ways to relieve your anxiety.

For some people, turning to medications just does not feel like the right answer. For others who have found medications that are helping, finding natural ways to complement that feels very supportive.

Many years ago, Teresa Smith met a “hippie” who sold her a bottle of Lavender essential oil, saying it would help relieve her stress.

Teresa had always loved the natural world, and decided to give the Lavender essential oil a try.

It worked!

That experience started Teresa on a journey, and she earned her Aromatherapy Certification with Aromahead Institute in 2012.

She learned that essential oils can support us in so many therapeutic ways—from calming inflammation, preventing infection, relieving headaches, and offering more mental focus.
