Essential Oil Recommendations - Part 1

My journey of becoming a certified Aromatherapist introduced me to new ways of looking at essential oils, creating blends, and using already prepared blends from various companies to address concerns. Most essential oil companies focus on individual oils and blends that are focused on symptoms, which isn't a bad thing, but I was delighted to come across Vibrant Blue Oils, which focuses on different systems and functions of the body, and I thought I would give their oil blends a try.


The first blend I tried from Vibrant Blue Oils was the Parasympathetic blend. As a caregiver, I needed to focus on regulating my nervous system, and was pleasantly surprised by this blend. It didn't take long for me to start a collection by adding Liver, and Gall Bladder so I could support those areas of my body as well. And soon, I had a collection that I use regularly, including the additions of Lymph, Circulation, and Anti-Inflammatory.


If you want to take the guesswork out of combining single oils together in supporting the different systems of your body, I recommend taking a look at Vibrant Blue Oils. They can be purchased individually or as kits.


A couple of the more popular kits are below and each include an affiliate link.


As always, I recommend diluting any essential oil or blend when applying them topically. These oils are for aromatic and topical use only.


THRIVE KIT ™

Bottle of Parasympathetic®, Lymph™ and Adrenal®
Bottle of Parasympathetic®, Lymph™ and Adrenal®

Specific oils for supporting vitality include:


Lymph™: The lymphatic system is the body’s first line of defense against disease, working to re-circulate body fluids, stimulate functioning of the immune system, and balance the autonomic nervous system. The lymphatic system needs to be functioning optimally in order for toxins to be removed from the brain and the body. If you think of the body like a hydraulics system where congested tissue downstream prevents optimal flow upstream, congested lymphatic vessels in the neck will impede drainage of toxins from the brain. To enhance lymphatic flow and drainage, generously apply Lymph™ around the sides of the neck.


Parasympathetic®: Your body needs to be in the parasympathetic rest and digest state to heal. When the parasympathetic nervous system kicks in, your mind and body relax and calm the release of stress hormones, like cortisol, allowing for optimal energy flow. Applying Parasympathetic® blend to the vagal nerve (behind the earlobe on the mastoid bone) before meals stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system “rest and digest” state to promote optimal digestion, absorption and assimilation of the nutrients necessary to help the body heal and put it in optimal balance.


Adrenal®: The adrenals are small triangular glands that sit on top your kidneys and produce and release the body’s stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol provides the body with the energy it requires to survive physical or emotional stress. When your adrenal glands are overtaxed or fatigued, they are not able to supply the body with the energy it needs to heal, a state known as Adrenal Fatigue. Essential oils can be used like adaptogenic herbs to help support the adrenal glands for the optimal energy reserves required to support your healing. The Adrenal™® blend also contains several stimulatory oils like Thyme, Cinnamon, and Rosemary that you feel invigorated, revitalized and energetic. To use, either smell or topically apply 1- 2 drops of Adrenal® on the adrenal glands (on the lower mid-back, one fist above the 12th rib on each side).

Healing the gut can be a powerful first step toward healing other issues. An unhealthy gut is at the root of almost all chronic health concerns, including heart disease, cancer, depression, ADD/ADHD, arthritis, diabetes, autism, depression, anxiety chronic fatigue and autoimmunity.


Repairing the gut can help avoid chronic health issues and improve minor health ailments such as fatigue, aches and pains, allergies, mood swings, low sex drive, bad breath, bloating, gas, eczema, constipation, even premature aging.
