Young Living Essential Oils for anxiety

I love the Lavender oil. I have some issues with anxiety and I swear by the stuff. It actually stopped an anxiety attack in its tracks! --Meridith Enny, Oils from God YLEO customer [now a distributor!]
Checking through our Essential Oils Desk Reference, I have found that Young Living Lavender Oil is listed as beneficial regarding the following emotional responses: Agitation, Anger, Anxiety, Boredom, Concentration, Day-Dreaming, Depression, Despair, Disappointment, Discouragement, Frustration, Grief/Sorrow, Mood Swings, Obsessiveness, Panic, and Restlessness. One can readily see why this is a great oil for the medicine chest.

Also listed in the EODR as helpful for anxiety is Orange, Roman Chamomile, and Ylang Ylang. In addition to Lavender, we use YL's Orange Oil on an almost daily basis placing 3-4 drops of oil in a 6-ounce glass of Rice Dream rice milk. We also add in a drop or two of YL's Lemon Oil (good for depression, despair, discouragement), stir it up and drink it down. Our 20-something sons enjoy this beverage saying it is their favorite YL concoction. We've also used Ylang Ylang, a very nicely-fragranced oil, but for anxiety, our suggestion would be to first try YL's Lavender Oil. (We've yet to try Roman Chamomile.)

If you purchase lavender [a brand other than Young Living] through a health food store, etc., it will probably do little to help you, and it can even do harm. That is because it most likely is not therapeutic grade and will be extended with lesser oils and also chemicals.

How to use: Young Living Essential Lavender Oil can be placed neat (no dilution) on your wrists, under your nose, the back of one's neck, on your shoulders, the bottoms of one's feet, just about anywhere. You can also put a couple drops into your left hand and rub clockwise with the flat palm of your right hand. Cup your hands together over the nose and mouth and inhale deeply 4-6 times and repeat during the day as necessary. (Do not touch your eyes!)

Lavender is also wonderful for burns. So if you grab the pot on the stove and forget the holder is wet, put Lavender straight on the burn (no dilution) immediately. Also great for inside cuts on the mouth. So if you miss the chewing gum and chomp on your cheek instead, put a drop right inside your mouth on the wound. You'll be back chewing comfortably in no time.

After using Young Living's oils, I no longer require Xanax, Valium, or chemical sleep aids, nor do I miss any of them. (YL's RutaVaLa roll-on on your wrists is great for helping one fall asleep and Melissa and Frankincense are two oils more costly, but outstanding for the nervous system.)
