At times, we all have experienced anxious feelings. For a student, it could be anxiety about the results of an exam, wondering what grade they will receive. For a busy career woman or man, it may be anxious feelings about whether or not they will land their dream job after the interview.
These are just a few examples of anxious feelings that a person can experience in their lives and some of these anxious feelings are considered to be “happy” anxious feelings. In the physical body system, there is such a thing as flight or fight adrenals that fire in the body. These adrenals, even though they are happy, can feel like “unhappy” or anxious feelings. They can even cause symptoms of nervousness such as a sweaty brow and a racing heart.
In the body, these anxious feelings are considered stress, whether happy stress, such as a bride on her wedding day, or unhappy stress; for example, of experiencing a flat tire on the highway. For someone with adrenal imbalance, one could experience all these anxious feelings with “unhappy” symptoms.
Let’s talk about how you can can relieve a stressful situation and anxiousness, whether happy or unhappy. The keyword is anxiousness.
The use of essential oils is one of the ways that one can relieve anxious feelings. Essential oils are plant-derived, coming from the stem, bud, leaves, and flower of the plant. Essential oils are often used in aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine that employs plant extracts to support health and well-being. (www.healthline.com)
Essential oils can stimulate areas of your limbic system, which is a part of the brain that plays a role in emotions, behaviors, sense of smell, and long-term memory. The limbic system also plays a role in controlling physiological functions, such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. (www.healthline.com)
