Can Essential Oils Help Alleviate Stress?

Yes, essential oils can help to alleviate and reduce the signs and symptoms of stress. Essential oils have been used as a natural remedy for relieving a wide range of conditions for thousands of years, helping to promote a healthy body and mind. 

When stress starts to affect us in the workplace, it can be extremely challenging and come home with us at the end of the day too. When we inhale essential oils, they send messages to our limbic system - which happens to control our stress levels, our emotions, our heart rate, and many more of our functions. 

Essential oils can help us to sleep, relax, reduce anxiety and stress, and lift our moods. Here at anatomē, we have carefully created a beautiful collection of essential oil blends to help you reduce your stress so that you can function at your best in the workplace.
