The pharmacological effect is concerned with the chemical changes which take place when an essential enters the bloodstream and reacts with the hormones and enzymes, etc; the physiological mode is concerned with the way in which an essential oil affects the systems of the body, whether they are sedated or stimulated, etc; the psychological effect takes place when an essence is inhaled, and an individual responds to its odor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking that into consideration, essential oils have an immediate effect on an individual when they inhale the aroma. Changes occur by way of the individual\u2019s reaction to the aroma, eg they like the aroma and their mood, sense of self and perception of their environment changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential oils also have a longer term effect, which can be experienced\/noticed when the chemicals of the essential oils enter and mix with the chemicals found in our bodies. These create changes in the body by helping to improve functions of organs and entire systems and affect changes to our hormonal and nervous system responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>When it comes to combating stress, what specifically are we looking for?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to combating stress, we\u2019re looking for ways to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepen and lengthen the breath.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slow down and regulate the beating rhythms of the heart.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become more aware of ourselves, our immediate surroundings and the present moment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find joy and happiness, lift our mood and warm our emotions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have positive thoughts and feelings towards ourselves, other people, our situation, our surroundings, our environment, and things that we find in it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we\u2019re able to more easily move ourselves towards this way of being, we\u2019re more likely to be able to become calm and relaxed and to maintain a happy and more positive disposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article we\u2019re highlighting and recommending 10 essential oils that are effective at helping to combat stress, anxiety and worry and that encourage rest and relaxation.
