Essential Oils - Everything Anxiety

We all suffer from anxiety in one way or another.  Some have found that certain things can relieve anxiety and stress. Dr. Lin in Women's Health says, "The quickest way to change one's mood is through smell, thus essential oil is an excellent way to reduce anxiety and support relaxation."  The site also goes on to say, "The thing is, though, even if one study shows that a particular scent is great for,

say, reducing anxious feelings, it may not work for every single person. If you don't enjoy a scent, you probably won't feel much better after sniffing it, for instance." 

I personally don't suffer from having bad anxiety. However, my daughter does, that is why she got into diffusing essential oils.  And since I've been using them I've noticed a big difference with what I use them for. 

The essential oils that help with anxiety are: Lavender, Bergamot, Orange, and Sweet marjoram.
