Anxiety, depression, and emotional imbalance are common and serious conditions that most people experience at some point in their lives.

We have also added in some diffuser blends to get you on the road to better mental health today!

We have designed these amazing mini tear pads to help you—and those around you—simply learn about a wide range of conditions and ways that essential oils can help. They also make great tools to help in your teaching endeavors as class handouts. Keep reading to learn more about these conditions and the information these tear pads can offer you!

Anxiety:

Anxiety is the body’s way of preparing itself to deal with a threat or to deal with future stressful events. While this response is normal and happens as part of the body’s natural response to stress, this response can also happen at inappropriate times, or too frequently, as in the case of anxiety disorders. Anxiety can include both physical and mental symptoms such as fear, nervousness, nausea, sweating, increased blood pressure and heart rate, feelings of apprehension or dread, difficulty concentrating, irritability, restlessness, panic attacks, and many others.

"Calming Anxiety" Diffuser Blend. Features myrrh, rose and lemon essential oils. "Calming Mist" Diffuser Blend. Features Siberian fir and lavender essential oils.

Anxiety is the most prevalent mental health condition and a contributing factor in many chronic diseases. An anxiety disorder can develop when the body’s “fight or flight” response is activated frequently or for a prolonged period of time. This tear pad discusses the essential oils that aid in the calming and relaxing the mind and how these oils should be applied for optimum results.

Depression:

Depression is a disorder marked by excessive sadness, energy loss, feelings of worthlessness, irritability, sudden weight loss or gain, trouble sleeping, and loss of interest in activities normally enjoyed. These symptoms can continue for weeks or months if not treated and can destroy an individual’s quality of life.

"Evening Tranquility" Diffuser Blend. Features lavender, frankincense and Siberian fir essential oils. "Lift Your Blues" Diffuser Blend. Features blue tansy, lemon, bergamot, orange and jasmine essential oils.

Essential oils can play a big part in your fight with depression by uplifting your mood and relaxing your mind. Oils also help aid your physiological symptoms by helping you sleep better, boosting your energy, and even assisting proper digestion. All these symptoms play a part in your ability to recover from depression. This tear pad explains the effect that oils have on the mind and body and how they can help you specifically overcome this condition.

Emotions:

To put it simply, emotions are the way we currently feel. These feelings come in response to what we see, smell, hear, feel, taste, think, or have experienced and can affect our future thoughts and behavior. While much is still being discovered about the complex psychological and physiological processes involved in emotions, researchers have discovered that emotions involve many different systems in the body, including the brain, the sensory system, the endocrine/hormonal system, the autonomic nervous system, the immune system, and the release or inhibition of neurotransmitters (such as dopamine) in the brain. Recent research has also begun to uncover compelling evidence that various essential oils and their components have the ability to affect each one of these systems, making the use of essential oils an intriguing tool for helping to balance emotions in the human body.

"Calming Strong Emotions" Diffuser Blend. Features neroli, lemon and basil essential oils. "Increased Motivation" Diffuser Blend. Features black pepper, frankincense, lime and orange essential oils.

The specific oils you use will affect you differently, so it is important to know which ones are right for you. This tear pad gives information on how your emotions are specifically affected by the oils, and which oils work best with specific emotions, along with ideas for how to blend the oils and apply them for maximum effect.
Everyone has the right to feel mentally healthy, and that’s why you should too! With these tools, you can more confidently step onto the road to mental health recovery and feel more like yourself again. Let us know if there are any other conditions you would like to learn more about so that we can continue to help you embrace life happily!
