For the past several weeks, we\u2019ve been exploring the negative effects of living in a world full of pervasive chemicals. These detrimental compounds have been linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases<\/a> and various symptoms.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we can empower ourselves with safe, natural interventions to help us combat these excessive exposures and mitigate their damaging effects. One of my favorites is essential oils.<\/p>\n

In the last several video blogs, we\u2019ve been discussing the four<\/a> ways that essential oils can defend us from the harmful impact of these substances. These include through:<\/p>\n

(1) Their biochemical<\/a> properties<\/p>\n

(2) Serving as safe cleaning<\/a> substitutes and wellness-enhancing aromatics in our sanitizing products, personalized scent signatures<\/a>, fragrances, and perfumes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(3) Supporting detoxification<\/a> and elimination pathways by acting as anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants, cellular signaling molecules, and metal chelators<\/p>\n

(4) Assisting with emotional balance and purging negative emotions<\/p>\n

In my latest<\/a> video post, I focus in more detail on this fourth and final way essential oils enhance our resilience while living in a contaminated world. This is in relation to their ability to calm our mind-body and balance our nervous system.<\/p>\n

How does this aid detoxification?<\/p>\n

For healthy elimination and removal of substances, the body needs to be in a calm, parasympathetic<\/a> “rest and digest” state. If one is chronically \u201cwired\u201d up, the bowels and liver can become stagnant. This prevents toxins from leaving the body and results in their re-absorption and more complications.<\/p>\n

Essential oils are perhaps most well-known<\/a> for their ability to induce relaxation and relieve stress, therefore, preventing a “back up” and re-circulation of detrimental compounds.<\/p>\n

Check out my video blog to learn more about the five key ways essential oils can calm our brains to support healthy detoxification.<\/p>\n

Topics<\/a> include how essential oils:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Regulate our hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to safeguard mood and hormonal balance from brain and reproductive-disrupting compounds<\/li>\n
  2. Buffer stress at the level of perception, keeping the body and mind calm to aid rest, digestion, and optimal elimination<\/li>\n
  3. Balance hormonal symptoms that can result from downstream effects of chemical exposures<\/li>\n
  4. Modulate cortisol, the stress hormone<\/li>\n
  5. Stimulate the vagus nerve to keep the body in a parasympathetic state<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After reading the blog or watching the video, I\u2019d love to hear from you on how you use essential oils to soothe your mind-body and support your health in this toxic world.<\/p>\n

    Thank you so much for taking the time to learn how to nurture your mind, body, heart, and soul.<\/p>\n

    Sending you many blessings. \u2764<\/p>\n
