Emotional Health pt.2


Last week in Emotional Health pt.1 we looked at some of the statistics on how emotions have such a profound impact on our overall health and well-being. Today, in part 2, we’re going to learn about the natural solution tools that can aid us in supporting our emotional well-being holistically.


Essential oils are an excellent natural solution tool that works within seconds to alter the brain and therefore our experience. As you tap into using these holistic modalities, you’ll learn which ones work best for you, but for now I’ll start you off with some general recommendations based off the top emotions and responses.
