Mood Lifting Essential Oil Blend

When I was first diagnosed with clinical depression I was encouraged to include essential oils for depression as a part of my daily routine by several close friends. I was wary but agreed to give a few blends a try, because, honestly, I was at a point where I needed all the help I could get to make it through each day.

I began diffusing a 2:1 ratio of frankincense and lavender on a daily basis. Lavender has a calming and soothing ability that not only lessens anxiety, it also promotes improved sleep habits, and contributes to an uplifting of your mood. Frankincense is known to help with treating anxiety and depression by promoting a tranquil and peaceful mood.

Over the years as I have learned more about essential oils, I have incorporated different blends within my daily routine. This mood lifting essential oil blend is one of my favorites.

1 tbsp. Grapeseed Oil
