Can Aromatherapy Really Help In Stressful Times?

Because aromatherapy uses essential oils, you are dealing with the essence of plant life itself. Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that's used to promote physical, mental and spiritual balance.
The key to aromatherapy is in knowing which oils to use and for what challenge. The very mention of stress and Lavender is the first oil that comes to mind.
Lavender is known for its remarkable ability to help balance the nervous system. This in turn, helps with anxiety, depression, insomnia and yes, stress.
Clary Sage is one of those oils that is closely associated with hormone challenges. Yet Clary Sage is considered the best oil, by some, for stress relief.
It's often referred to as a euphoric-sedative oil. It's used by or suggested for, those that have an overactive and panicky mind. It's said to create a padding between you and the outside world.
