We all deserve a happy life without the constant worry of home and job.
Of course, this isn't a perfect world and we will always have anxiety and stress.
So, we have to find ways to calm and sooth our nerves.
One way to increase happiness is through smell.
Smells remind us of times in the past or loved ones we have lost.
Aromatherapy brings scents into our lives that calm and sooth our nerves and give us pleasure at the same time.
Did you know that the scent of lavender is associated with Heaven? If we surround ourselves with beautiful smells, our world will appear to be much brighter.
And if we do things to make our bodies feel good, we will reap the benefits of a less stressful and happy life.
It doesn't cost much to add a little luxury to your day.
I am going to discuss oils that you can use to help fight anxiety and depression and some ways you can use those oils.
The following oils are good to use for feelings of stress, nerves, and depression: Bergamot, Lemongrass, Grapefruit, Roman Chamomile, Cedarwood, Lemon, Cinnamon Leaf, Petitgrain, Basil, Myrrh, Hyssop, Juniper, Grapefruit, Sweet Marjoram, Scotch Pine, Patchouli, Rosemary, Neroli(orange blossom), Orange, Lavender, Rosewood, Rose, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Clary Sage, Jasmine, and Geranium.
