After all, our bodily functions can easily be impacted by the mind. That’s we feel fluttery when nervous, or tired when stressed. Decisions we make that affect the body – what to eat, how busy we should be – all come from the mind, too.
Essential oils seem simple, but it takes a lot of plant matter to produce a little bit of oil. Not to mention, choosing them can be tough. Some are diluted because the straight oil is too harsh for direct exposure, while others are diluted to cut costs (which, incidentally, decreases efficacy).
However, stress, fatigue, and anxiety are a whole-body issue. Our mindfulness efforts can go even further if we are biologically healthy. Physical wellness is a great foundation to support relaxation and stress relief.
