Stress & Disaster
That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is much we can do to be proactive and minimize stress in our daily lives, as well as be prepared to handle the severe stress of disaster –
Essential Oils — More Than a Nice Smell
Pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils have been scientifically proven to reduce emotional and stress responses. When inhaled, pure essential oils travel through the olfactory bulb to the limbic region of the brain where they can kick stress and depression to the curb.
Limbic Region of Brain
The limbic region is known as the “reptilian” brain, and includes the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala. This key region of the brain is largely responsible for the following processes –
- Emotional responses,
- Fight or flight reaction,
- Regulation of blood pressure and heart rate,
- Sleeping/waking cycles,
- Hormone secretions,
- Sexual response,
- Conversion of short-term memories into long-term memories,
- Motivation,
- Pain reflex,
- Mood fluctuations, and more.
How to Use Essential Oils for Stress
Therapeutic-quality essential oils may be used in the following ways to minimize stress and promote a healthy mood –
- Inhalation — Put a couple of drops of an essential oil in your hands, rub palms together 3 times in a clockwise circular motion. Diffuse into the air with a cold air diffuser. Inhale directly from the bottle.
- Direct Application — Add a few drops of essential oils to bath water (mix first with Epsom salts or a high-quality vegetable oil). Apply a few drops to the feet, shoulders, back of neck, or wrists to promote stress relief and a healthy mood.
Peace & Calming and Valor essential oil blends, both in the Essential Oil Survival Kit, are designed to stabilize and balance the emotions, mitigate stress, and promote inner strength, confidence, and peace. Valor is known as the “chiropractor in a bottle” for its ability to return the system to equilibrium, while Peace & Calming is one of the most powerful natural sleep aids available anywhere.
Vetiver essential oil (in several of our deluxe Essential Survival Kits) takes it one step further and has been shown to reverse symptoms of shock. With its earthy fragrance and powerful grounding properties, vetiver has been found in scientific studies to reduce symptoms of ADD/ADHD, prevent Alzheimer’s and other degenerative brain diseases, and help calm agitated individuals (including those with autism).

Testimonials –
“My husband and I adopted a dog from the pound a few years ago, and she had a tendency to be a little bit overexhuberant when guests would come to visit. I decided to try Valor oil on her to see if it would calm her down. I rubbed a couple of drops into her skin along her spine, and she immediately laid down and chilled out! I have used the Valor again and again, and get great results each time!”

“My position in a corporate office has many stressful moments. At the ready at all times is my Peace & Calming. Many colleagues come running up to my desk with hands extended for help in chilling out, clearing their heads to make balanced decisions etc. Always works no matter the circumstance of the stress!“
