If you have heard essential oils are amazing for emotional support. Sense of smell is the only sense connected to emotional responses. Aromatherapy (which is the use of essential oils as a complementary health approach) is one of my favorite ways to support my families emotional health.

My Success Story

Through my healing journey from infidelity in my marriage, I was an emotional mess (as one would expect). I relied heavily on prayer and my faith for strength and wisdom but I was emotionally fragile.

Aromatherapy helped me manage my emotions through one of the hardest chapters in my life. And I know there are others out there that need these tools… They need these tips at their disposal for moments of hardship that will come.

It is easy for people to say rely on your faith, it will get you through trails (and yes I agree your faith will do that just that) but day to day you may feel like you are drowning.

This is where aromatherapy was a game changer to me! It helped me manage my emotional distress along side prayer and meditation. Helping me alleviate stress and stabilize emotions that were raging through me to have a more level head and centered state of mind for myself and my children.

When times were tough or emotions were raging I would grab an oil apply over my heart, or on my hands and take a few deep breaths. I would pray for strength, patience, or for release of the things that were out of my control. Some of the bottles held me together when the enemy was coming at his hardest. They helped me calm the storm inside while I waited for Jesus to make a way.

spoiler alert: He did overcome every obstacle that the enemy presented…

Below I have listed some of my go to emotional support oils and my favorite uses for them.

^{** REMEMBER I am not a doctor, and I only share from my experience and what has worked for me **}

Frankincense: best for emotional grounding purposes.

Release: My favorite essential oil to help release emotional stress. Life can easily feel like to much to bare and most of the time we are holding in emotions just to get through the day. This oils is a life saver for helping release emotions.

White Angelica: This oils is one that I slathered myself in through our infidelity journey. This oil is a must for helping to protect your own energy. Through our journey I would easily become overwhelmed by daily tasks and this essential oil paired with prayer and worship would center me and get me through some of my worst moments.

Peace and Calming: A blend that our home is never without, why because it does what the bottle says. When I feel panic or fear I love to grab Peace and Calming. Also a bonus to diffuse at night for a well rested deep sleep.

Lavender: Such a simple oil for releasing tension. This oil is one I often diffuse in our house for an overall calming effect.

Valor: This Oil is a JEM. It can provide a sense of security and help portray feelings of confidence. When trails come our way we often feel out of control and less confident with what is to come and Valor can really help balance those feelings. Remembering that the lords plan will surpass our own understanding and being confident that he is in control and always working for our good.

Joy: An oil that I applied daily through the thick of our infidelity journey. I rubbed a few drops directly over my heart and forearms. It is truly a powerful aid when joy seems to be lacking.

Orange: I will forever call this smile in a bottle or liquid happy. This oil is one that I would pair with Joy or Lavender and diffuser on the daily. So bright so uplifting and the price point is ridiculously affordable.

All citrus oils have amazing emotional uplifting properties.

Lemon, Grapefruit, Lime, Jade Lemon, and Bergamot are all amazing for uplifting if you needed more recommendations.

I could go on for days about all the different oils that exist that could possibly help with emotions but these were just my MOST USED.
