Do you get stressed out? I know I do, and a lot of my patients do as well.
I’ve always been disheartened by how many of my new patients are on anti-anxiety medications. Some of these medications are addictive, like benzodiazepines, and can be dangerous when combined with alcohol and other prescription drugs.
So do you feel stressed out sometimes? Would like you like an all-natural way to go from stress to zen?
If so, then you might want to try essential oils. Essential oils are highly concentrated natural oils that can be effectively used as aromatherapy to soothe frazzled nerves. Here are some suggestions for calming oils from my friend, Dr. Mariza Snyder:
1. Lavender – Pure, high quality lavender oils contain esters that can calm your psyche.
2. Bergamot – This citrus oil has a calming and soothing aroma that is best when diffused or inhaled.
3. Ylang Ylang – This floral-scented oil is both calming and uplifting. It has also been known as an aphrodisiac (even better!).
4. Roman Chamomile – My mom loves chamomile tea, and I drink it occasionally in the evening. This oil is essentially an amped up version of the tea which evokes a calming sensation. It’s also soothing for the skin.
If you haven’t tried essential oils, you’re missing out! Make sure to only purchase ones that are organic and certified therapeutic grade, like doTerra. Other oils (especially cheap ones you buy at the store) may be adulterated, so it’s best to be very choosy with which oils you buy.
Let’s reduce our stress and achieve zen together!

Episode #83 –What is Your Body Trying to Tell You? – One of my good friends calls the skin our “Magic Mirror.” It often shows us what is going on under the surface before other parts of our body reveal them to us.

Why does a crease in the earlobe signal underlying heart disease? What do your teeth have to do with pancreatic cancer? And what does dysfunction have to do with all this? We’ll solve these medical mysteries together on this podcast.
