Anxiety, stress, tension, depression. Words that we throw around too lightly sometimes and without a real understanding of what they are and how badly they can affect your life. Those who suffer – and the word “suffer” is apposite here – are sometimes quite desperate to find a cure or, at least, some relief. And many ask, “Do essential oils work for anxiety?” or “Are there essential oils for anxiety and depression?”
The good news is that the answer to both questions is “yes” – and there are plenty of research findings to support this.
We’ll have a quick look at what anxiety is and some of the research, and then give you some ideas about how to use essential oils, which are the best essential oils for anxiety, and some tips for mixtures and blends that are the most effective.
