As I look out the window, I’m thinking how dreary it is right now. It’s pouring rain, the sky is gray, and the trees have lost most of their leaves. Sigh.
I need
something to lift this Blue mood
I’m in! As usual, aromatherapy comes to the rescue. This article gives a brief introduction to various Essential Oils that are known for their mood elevation abilities. By the end of the article, you should have a better sense of where to cast your nose for help the next time you feel down.
Essential Oils for Depression
-
My favorite mood elevator is Rose Essential Oil (rosa damascena).
One drop of this heavenly scent in a Diffuser is potent enough to make me feel happy! However, Rose Essential Oil is extremely expensive.
Additional Essential Oils for Depression
A quick look at some of my references gives a list of Essential Oils that are known as mood elevators. They are the kinds of oils that
give you a “feel good feeling” when you have a mild case of the blues
. Here are some other Essential Oils recommended for “despondency” by Shirley Price in her Aromatherapy Workbook:
There are
other mood elevating Essential Oils
out there, and the fun of aromatherapy is in the discovery of how a particular Essential Oil affects you. You might want to compile your own personal mood elevating Essential Oils list so that it’s handy the next time you feel a bit down.
This is definitely a case where I like to use my tea light Candle oil and water Diffuser, as it makes the scent last a long time. As a cautionary note, remember not to take any of these oils internally or use them on your skin until you research them thoroughly. Not all Essential Oils can be taken internally and/or used topically.
Remember that these oils are traditionally used for an occasional
feeling of minor Depression, sadness or Anxiety
or just feeling “down in the dumps”. If you have a serious case of major
Depression
, you need to be under a doctor’s care.
