Aromatherapy for Anxiety

Anxiety in the form of panic attacks is a concept that I don’t remember ever hearing about growing up.  But it seems to affect so many people nowadays, myself included.  I have a personal experience to share that some of you may relate to.

I have a fear of driving on highways at high speeds.  Some days I’m fine and could drive for hours at 90 miles per hour.  Other days, anxiety sets in and I can’t wait to get off the highway.  I’ve had about 5 car accidents in my life and none of them ever affected me until the last one 5 years ago.  I didn’t drive for 2 years and when I started driving again it was a challenge to say the least.  I started using a variety of essential oils and practicing breathing techniques while saying positive affirmations to help ease the panic that would set in.  While the essential oils helped, I hadn’t found the perfect blend that could take away my rapid heart beat and sweaty palms.  Until recently!

I live in Southwest Florida and the airport is about an hour and a half away.  Part of that drive is on Interstate 75.  A couple weeks ago my mom came for a visit from Kansas City and I had to take her to the airport.  On the way home getting on 75 a full blown panic attack set in.  I thought, oh no!  here we go!  My heart was beating a million miles a minute, hands started sweating and I thought how soon can I get off the interstate.  I had a new essential oil blend that I had been working on for my business and pulled it out of my purse.  I started inhaling deeply right out of the bottle and within 2 to 3 minutes the panic attack completely went away.  30 minutes later getting off the highway I felt like a million bucks!

So, it is with great excitement that I share my new essential oil blend Release Anxiety & Fear.  It’s a simple, but effective blend of Frankincense and Ylang Ylang and smells divine.  It comes in the pure Essential Oil Blend, an Aromatherapy Roll On and an Inhaler.  The inhaler you can carry with you in your purse or pocket.  The roll on is a convenient way to use aromatherapy and is blended in an unrefined, certified organic jojoba oil.

If you have anxiety or panic attacks I encourage you to give the Release Anxiety & Fear blend a try.  Being one that has experienced panic attacks, I can relate to the symptoms and gripping fear they can bring.
