From Christmas 2010 (pre-Christmas) Stress to silence

All years back me and probably many other people of the stress before Christmas once again caught up. Every year I resolve that next year a quiet and contemplative should be. Unfortunately, this work will never push ............ here's a date in between, there is still a meeting, many emails and requests to be processed. My calendar shows long ago in the second half of 2011, and mentally I am already planning my travel seminar in the fall of next year.
In one of my seminars last week one of the themes stress and how can we "IT" back with the help of essential oils for body and help us to well-being and comfort as to fragrance lamps, body oils and relaxing baths.

essential oils to balance and relax in the Christmas stress

Mandarin ro t (Citrus reticulata) => contains methyl anthranilate (aromatic ester) and therefore has a strong anticonvulsant and relaxing, an absolute RELEASE oil, plus also a very effective essential oil

basil (Ocimum basilicum) => Emperor is Greek and means "king". A great relaxing "ROYAL" herb, which has a strong relaxing effect on stress and headaches.


Benzoin Siam (Styrax tonkinesis) => this is the resin of the Benzoebaumes be vanilla, sweet soft scent conveys security and casts a protective jacket us. The high proportion (60%), benzyl benzoate (aromatic ester) promotes the secretion of serotonin and endorphins.

bergamot (Citrus bergamia) => also called lavender in the citrus oils, it contains a citrus peel oil unusually large number of esters (up to 60%) and is therefore one of the balancing, relaxing and mood uplifting essential oils. Especially in the dark time for me, one of the main flavors.

Orange / Blood Orange (Citrus sinensis) => balancing, gently stimulating to do without waking

Petitgrain (Citrus aurantium) => my favorite is the Petit Grain from the Mandarin, and here again we have the difficult to pronounce Methyl aromatic esters. Smallest traces of it enough to dangle our soul.

vanilla extract (vanilla plantifolia) => the scent reminiscent of childhood well-being and security. Baby's smell of vanilla, even baby-dolls are scented with vanilla-like fragrance. The ingredient vanillin, the human nose even still perform at a dilution of 0.0000000002 mg per liter of air.

Chamomile Roman (Anthemis nobilis) => chamomile for the wounded soul, balancing, relaxing, aggression potential downward (in the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle in the shops may be quite helpful ;-)

L baskets (Laurus nobilis) => creates the scent even in moments of extreme stress clarity. It helps us to take a look at the essentials and to act appropriately and with new strength.

frankincense (Boswellia sacra) => calms the nerves, relaxed and accompanied recollection, it picks us up from the hectic everyday life and opens our mind for the essentials.
