\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a very challenging time for many<\/a>. The current crisis has increased levels of uncertainty and stress. Unfortunately, the negative ramifications<\/a> of this excess stress can have long-term physical and emotional effects. Thankfully, there are tools that mitigate the wanted results of uncertainty, overwhelm, and unhelpful thought patterns.<\/p>\n

The impact of stress starts at the level of our perception. That is why my favorite tool to prevent downstream consequences of excess stress are essential oils.<\/p>\n

In my latest blog<\/a>, I give a recap of using essential oils for brain, emotional, and mental health and how they can stop stress in its tracks! I also explore how to change our \u201cnegativity bias.\u201d Finally, I list resources for specific essential oils and blends I am using with my naturopathic medicine clients,<\/a> myself, and my loved ones.<\/p>\n

It is my desire to support my readers during this emotional turbulent time. Essential oils are my favorite modality to do this!<\/p>\n

Please check out my latest article<\/a> and feel free to provide your feedback!<\/p>\n

For additional tools to support resiliency in trying times, please see this post<\/a> and my naturopathic blog page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
