Essential oils against stress
Stress is everywhere and is often referred to as a social disease. Even if stress itself is not a disease as such, it can trigger other diseases. It affects the majority of people, which is why the fact that it is regarded as a social disease is telling. It seems that life is becoming increasingly challenging and younger generations are also feeling the effects. Even children now suffer from sleeping problems or low moods and the reasons are often stress or excessive demands. Children often perceive school as a burden. Expectations are increasing and everything starts earlier, such as learning foreign languages or playing competitive sports. Children are not left to enjoy their free time, which should have a harmonising effect. Many complain of having too little time for friends and periods of rest. The effects of our fast-paced world with a bombardment of new trends in lifestyle, technology, etc., often motivate children to optimise their competitiveness at an early age.
Main stress factors for children
One approach to naturally and easily enhancing their well-being and help minimise anxiety and nervousness as well as promote concentration is the use of essential oils.
Aromatherapy uses the volatile plant powers for the body, mind and spirit, acting primarily through the central nervous system, olfactory centre and limbic system. Inhaling the fragrances creates sensory stimuli which can trigger feelings and memories. This is said to help people find ways to open up to their own feelings to achieve a positive influence on their state of mind.
Children are often much more sensitive to essential oils than adults. To enable young people to also benefit from the properties of the valuable plant essences, we recommend using a lower concentration of essential oils.
This means that the correct selection and dosage of these valuable plant essences is the key to unfolding their optimum effects.
