Did you know that most of our visits to the doctor are either caused or related to stress?

As much of 90% of doctor visits are either caused or related to stress. Can you imagine the great cost to our health system this causes each and every year?  

Stress has been linked to numerous illnesses and causes of death, including heart disease, cancer and suicide. Imagine if we could deal with this by ourselves in a natural way. 

The stress response is the body’s way of dealing with a perceived threat. The problem starts when the threat never leaves. And this is the kind of stress that modern society is attempting to deal with all of the time.

Typically doctors have suggested dealing with stress through the use of prescription and other sedatives. Sedatives create calm but they also dull and depress brain function. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to get a handle on the problem or real cause behind stress and take the necessary steps to deal with it. Most enlightened doctors now suggest using more natural ways in order to avoid the dependence on drugs and consequent problems associated with them.

We tend to think of stress as a state in which one can be agitated, angry, anxious, tense or fearful but, given time an individual can become listless and depressed hence the value of essential oils in being able to restore one’s balance.
