I kept a small bottle of Lavender in my desk at school, and sometimes teachers would complain of headaches.\u00a0 I began to invite teachers to anoint their necks and brow to relieve headaches, and much to everyone\u2019s surprise, it worked!<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t suffer from headaches myself, but I will always remember the relief that I felt when anointing myself with Lavender. A drop behind the ears, and I could feel the stress melt away!<\/p>\n<p>Other essential oils that I have come to treasure for their powerful stress relieving capacities are <em>Bergamot<\/em> and <em>Marjoram<\/em>. Also, <em>Basil<\/em> helps relieve irritability and\u00a0negativity,\u00a0and activates\u00a0empathy and\u00a0wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most famous of the Earth Angel\u00a0Oils blends is the <em>Anti-Stress, Pain &amp; Panic Relief <\/em>\u00a0blend, which contains Lavender, Marjoram and Basil; and this combination\u00a0is our first choice for stress relief for both people and animals.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0a psychologist,\u00a0I was shocked when I realized that the oils are effective in\u00a0alleviating stress. I have been devoted to\u00a0letting others know\u00a0the wonderful benefits of\u00a0this natural remedy, ever since my first exposure to the oils 25 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Have the oils helped relieve stress in your life?
