Lisa, thank you for sharing this information. I particularly liked the information on HOW essential oils work in the brain. This makes so much sense. I’m sending this video to some young ladies that I know would appreciate this!
I think that this would be really helpful for kids who are neurologically damaged and stuck in “fight or flight” mode most of the time. I’ve got a son who has FAS and his adrenalin is almost always up. Ordering those three very soon! Thanks for the explanation!
Thanks @M! So grateful for you passing it along!
@Margaret in VA– Absolutely! My sister is a teacher for children with autism and she has found that many moms are super successful utilizing essential oils with their children…for all children actually! I use them with mine often.
A little tip, when you are in the car and there is a “vibe” (bickering, whining, ect) that you want to change…put a drop on a cotton ball and stick it in the vent and it diffuses through the whole car – happy smells
Thanks! Sometimes if I have trouble falling asleep, I will put some lavendar on a cottonball and place it next to my pillow. It works great to keep the anxiety away.
Hello,
Thank you so much.
Question: where is the best place to but essential oil?
Hi Gladys,
That would really depend on what you are using essential oils for and which ones you are using…if it is a mild EO, like ones I mention in this video, after I inhale a few times, I tend to put some on the back of my neck, my temples (not near my eyes!) and even under my nose to keep getting the diffusion benefit!
You can also rub them on your feet and they will be circulated throughout your whole body!
Great video. I have a couple of oils, that I use in the bath or mixed with carrier oils that can make all the difference. I also love rescue remedy too.
I actually have lavender and geranium on my bedside table but had no idea HOW they work! This is so helpful and encouraging… Plus why wouldn’t one want to fall asleep smelling flowers …
Thanks, Lisa!!
What insightful information to share! I had no idea that I could use this quick tip whenever and wherever I want! How helpful and empowering to know we have access to such a robust tool!
Love, love, loved it! Honestly, I use essential oils in my adult and infant massages (lavender, chamomile and mandarin) but I never knew the reason or the science behind why it works!
Lisa, this is an excellent post, loved the explanation makes so much sense. I need get me some calming oils pronto!
Hi Lisa, great information and explanation! Besides the three essential oils mentioned are there any others known for their calming abilities? Two of the ones you mentioned give me headaches. I’m going to check out geranium (sp?), I have my fingers crossed that I don’t react.
Interesting. I wonder if it would help my 4 yr old daughter calm herself. I should give it a try and see!
Thanks Lisa- I really needed this info- both for me and my 13 yo daughter!
This was awesome. As a natural soapmaker, who uses only essential oils, I love understanding how eo’s work in the brain. Also, this video was a great jumping off point for our homeschool science study this morning on the brain. I used your video as the intro. and then we read a bit more and practiced it. My daughter is a budding herbalist and loved this information.
