Depression and Anxiety

All Natural Strategies for Success

Depression and Anxiety Facts

  • Depression is an illness that affects the whole body. It changes the way you eat and sleep, your self confidence, and the way you think about things and others around you.
  • Depression can be triggered by stress, lack of restful sleep, lack of exercise, chemical imbalance in the brain or a traumatic life event.
  • At least one out of every six of us will experience a serious, function-impairing depressive episode at some point in our lives; thus, antidepressants and anxiety-reducing agents are now a multibillion-dollar industry.
  • Sadness is a part of being human, a natural reaction to painful circumstances. All of us will experience sadness at some point in our lives. Some depression, however, is a physical illness with many more symptoms than an unhappy mood. Essential oils can help alleviate the pain in BOTH cases.
  • Depression DOES NOT always have a reason. Sometimes the chemicals which are responsible for mood control are out of balance and you may feel bad even though everything in your life is going well.
  • Essential oils act on the part of your brain which allows you to process emotions. It’s called the limbic system. Essential oils help to create emotional, hormonal, and chemical balance within this area allowing you to think clearer and more positive.
  • Anxiety is almost always linked with depression and vice versa. Essential oils such as Peace & Calming and Roman Chamomile create immediate calming effects on both the mind and body. They take the edge off anxiety of all kinds.
  • Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older (18.1% of U.S. population).
