Aromatherapy: Sleep Disorders, Boosting Energy & Motivation

Everyday we are told that conventional medicine is the way to address physical, emotional and psychologic stress, but when we use our intuition we know that there are other ways to healing. We know that natural medicine helps human beings not only heal in a direct way but bring a more holistic impact to our lives. What we offer in this advanced training is to explore the powerful combination between healing and essential oils when used for boosting energy levels, focus and motivation, as well as deal with sleeping disorders, stress and anxiety.

When you're tired and feel your body's energy reserves have been depleted, aromatherapy can help you tremendously. The sweet and fruity scent of citrus oils such as lemon, sweet orange, bergamot and grapefruit among others are great for creating happiness, feelings of positivity and dispelling negative emotions and depression. When citrus oils are inhaled, their aroma compounds travel through the nose into the olfactory system and are picked up by the olfactory cells.

They then send information to the brain which processes this information and sends signals to the body. The body responds with increased energy, happiness and good mood. We know that everything we do during our daily routine influences our health and wellbeing; however, we often forget that our sleeping habits are just as crucial to our health.

Yes, exercising, eating right, and finding a healthy way to deal with emotions and stress are all important parts of our day, but allowing our minds and bodies to rest and recuperate at night is equally important. While some may think that the only consequences of poor sleep are feeling groggy or sluggish the next day, sleep deprivation has actually been linked to a number of health risks that can impact the body. Essential oils have been used for millennia for medicinal and health purposes.
