Top Essential Oils for Depression

💜How to Blend Essential Oils FREE class! www.aromahead....
💛 I want to do something SPECIAL in this video . . .
Because there are a lot of essential oils for depression that can offer support.
But not every essential oil is going to work for YOU.
So I am sharing:
- 6 of my top essential oils for depression
- 3 Aromatherapy methods of use (like diffusing the oils, etc)
- 3 WAYS that these essential oils can support you (like helping you feel uplifted, etc)
As an Aromatherapy teacher, I put a lot of value on science + research.
I also know that it doesn’t matter how much research we have about essential oils for depression, if you don’t like your blend’s aroma, or it is not convenient for you to use.
Please take care of yourself and create a blend that you LOVE (and it will LOVE you back!)

If you try any of these essential oils for depression, I would love to know your results!
Please leave me a comment and share your experience.
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, too.
:::::::::::: *** ::::::::::::
As a teacher, I believe that your wellbeing is too important to base on guesswork.
Or on stories about the success others have had with essential oils.
That is why I am such a big advocate for reliable, research-based essential oil information.
Not sure you want to take a full Aromatherapy class? That’s OK! You can take a class that focuses on a single essential oil.
Check out my series of classes called ESSENTIAL OIL SPOTLIGHTS.
Each SPOTLIGHT class focuses on ONE essential oil. It includes scientific information about the oil, its therapeutic benefits, recipes, photos, other essential oils that it blends well with, and more. Each class is narrowly focused on ONE oil, but also gives you a rounded education so you know how to blend that oil with others.
You don’t have to know how to use a DOZEN essential oils to be successful with Aromatherapy. You can learn to use ONE oil in a DOZEN ways.
I have 4 SPOTLIGHTS for you. Learn the full range of uses and benefits that these essential oils can offer!

And really are my best friends. Ill keep a couple in my pocket everywhere i go. And if im feeling negative energy ill pull out the one thatll fit me best at that time! :)

[@aromatherapyoils]

Essential oils can take us on a beautiful healing path, and we're so happy to hear that they have brought you so so much comfort and hope. Thank you for sharing! 💜

[@nomanrais2719]

Yes,,they are too good specially for chronic fatigue syndrome..however there is no treatment on earth for this symptoms..but a blend of lavender +bergamot + orange n vetiver made my day....it is truly wonderful blend..

[@eternalmind908]

@@nomanrais2719 sounds nice! Usually ill diffuse lemon and sweet orange in the morning, along with putting bergamot on my feet and lavender on my wrists. Helps me till around lunch time then i rinse and repeat till bed!

[@angiec9087]

Which ones did you use?

[@eternalmind908]

@@angiec9087 bergamot, orange, lavender, juniper berry, and vetiver are the most therapeutic for me

[@x_moosh_x2969]

I have a lavender, frankincense and sweet orange spray. It's relaxing and uplifting at the same time. I spray my bathroom before I shower which makes a great shower experience :)

[@aromatherapyoils]

That sounds lovely!! Thank you for sharing!

I am a ACP student. Thank you so much, for taking the time to do these learning videos. I love them and learn so much from watching them.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Sonia it's so heartwarming to hear how helpful the videos are! Yay! They are an enjoyable way review and reinforce things you are learning in ACP!

[@aislinghughes4859]

Cedarwood is very grounding for me when I feel like I can't settle especially at night. Love your KZbin videos

[@aromatherapyoils]

We love that Cedarwood helps you settle at night!

[@angielilliank.1109]

Thank you so much for covering depression, Andrea. It’s such an important subject to cover, given how harmful allopathic approaches tend to be.

[@aromatherapyoils]

We love that essential oils can help!! Many natural essential oil components have even been researched for their ability to calm the nervous system, and inspire happier feelings.

[@gloriasgallery820]

Orange is always an uplifting and happy oil to use! My go-to!

[@aromatherapyoils]

Love that!

[@peluso_palit]

Patchouli is my favourite. Mostly use on my cold process soap. It definitely a good choice during the shower for relaxing and grounding in warm bath.

[@aromatherapyoils]

We love how Patchouli resonates with you!!

[@brownrose9080]

I adore this channel. I have watched many videos but everything inside me leaped as I started watching your channel. Keep up the good work and thank you!

[@aromatherapyoils]

aww thank you for sharing that Brown Rose, that's so heartwarming!

[@angielilliank.1109]

That was a very insightful and nuanced overview of some of the ways that depression can show up! It's so true that depression has many faces that each need and deserve to be cared for in different ways.

For grounding I love frankincense sacra the scent is just so soothing and warm and blends so well with rose that just adds the sense of deep in your heart agape love love using it during and after a emotionally intense therapy session

[@aromatherapyoils]

Lavender is so relaxing! Love it for sleep!

[@SW47LQ]

Hey Andrea - firstly, I’d like to send you a big hug and a thank you. I’m slightly obsessed with your KZbin videos. They are fantastic. I’m just getting into making candles and soaps, and the blend of oils I use is very important to me. I also use a diffuser. Scent wise, I love geranium, lavender and rosemary together. I find them very relaxing. For stress I often use neroli with geranium. Thanks for the link to your classes. I’ll definitely be signing up to at least one of them (I want to learn more about Frankincense and Myrrh, in particular). Again, thank you so much. You are fabulous - warm, kind, knowledgeable and keen to share. Who could ask for more? (I’m living in Oxfordshire, in the UK.....and love Neals Yard. Do you know them?) Xx

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Linds! We are so grateful to have you join us here on KZbin - thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing about the essential oils that resonate with you for relaxation and stress! The Frankincense Spotlight class is a great way to delve in to learn more about Frankincense - you're going to love that class! Although we have not used oils from Neals Yard, we think it's great that you have found a brand of oils that you love!

[@ellemc5209]

Great information! Will be making this blend x

[@aromatherapyoils]

Wonderful! We hope you enjoy this delightful blend!

[@lixinchen7066]

Thank you so much for making it so easy to grasp the differences of these oils and their functions. I have been random in using oil essences, now I want to learn aromatherapy systematically to help myself and other people for well being. would appreciate if you can point me to the sources of best essential oil products.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Welcome to our Aromahead community here on KZbin Lixin! We are so glad this video was helpful! There are many wonderful companies. We like to recommend buying from companies that import directly from the distillers, that test every batch of oil with GC/MS, and that share the batch specific GC/MS reports with their customers. This ensures quality and demonstrates accountability. Here are a few we can recommend: Aromatics International - www.aromatics.com Essential Elements - www.essentialelementsstore.com Florihana (Europe) - www.florihana.com/en Aliksir (Canada) - www.aliksir.com You can read about GC/MS testing here: blog.aromahead.com/2009/12/04/essential-oil-industry-standards-aromatics-international-supports-gcms-testing

I want to love lavender but just don’t seem to like the fragrance and have tried a number of times ;) any suggestions for a substitute? I love the bergamot and orange and vetiver and patchouli... great oils .. diffuse mostly ❤️ Thanks bunches for all your help 😉

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Kath! Aroma is a very personal experience, an aroma can be just right for some, and not so for others. In a situation like this we would suggest Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) - it is a good replacement for Lavender.

[@kathbiddle-dutton7069]

[@zerdaswart9399]

Thank you for the interesting video. If I do not have patchouli and vetiver essential oils, what replacements can I use. I have a few oils in my basket, but not these 2.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Zerda! How about Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) and Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana)? Essential oils distilled from resins can be wonderful for helping us feel grounded - Myrrh, Frankincense, Opopanax, Balsam Copaiba, Elemi

Yeah I’ve been a bit down lately. I’m willing to give it ago. I am also having trouble meditating. Any blends out there for meditation. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hi Tracy! Yes we do have blends for mediating - you can find several here on the Aromahead Blog. I've done a quick search for you: blog.aromahead.com/all?search=meditation We would love to hear back - let us know how it goes!

[@jeremyrhuffman3431]

What if you have no sense of smell? Will these methods help if you can’t swell them ?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Great question Jeremy! Aromatherapy works even if you are not able to smell. There are many studies done that show people with anosmia are able to experience the reducing of pain and inflammation, and even emotional issues, like reducing stress and anxiety, and bringing on a sense of relaxation and calmness. Everyone has different reactions so I would encourage you to set aside some time and explore the oils as if you are meditating and keep notes of any changes in sensation or discoveries.

[@klynn_nonya7]

Great blends💯

Hi Charles Cook, I have been a fan of your pioneering spirit. Recently I have been trying to contact you at the institute. Please respond back to me soon. Best regards 🌹

[@dattanisuma]

Can I use all the six in one blend. I know someone who gets anxious very easily and I think there might be some depression involved. Please help

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Suma! We would suggest using oils that resonate with the person - have the person smell each oil to see which ones help them feel grounded and calm. The more the aroma is enjoyed, the more supportive it would be.

[@dattanisuma]

@@aromatherapyoils thanks Can I try something else instead of pine essential oil

[@aromatherapyoils]

@@dattanisuma yes you can! Often any fir or balsam or spruce you have in your collect can be used in place of pine.

Nice and helpful information.can we blend these oil and use it on are skin for anxiety.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Nimisha! We're so happy to know you've found this information to be helpful. For topical application, you can try making a small blend of 1 oz (28 g) of natural, unscented cream, and adding 10 to 12 drops of essential oil into it. 💜

Omg, I love Vetiver and Patchouli. But I can't seem to make a perfume of it with any staying power.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aromatherapyoils]

Diane natural perfumes made with essential oils sometimes need to be applied a bit more often, since the aroma of the essential oils generally won’t linger as long on the skin as a commercial perfume. I love the pleasure of taking meditative moments throughout the day to re-apply the perfume! Here's a roll on blend to try: .35 oz (10 ml) vanilla-infused jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) 3 drops Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) 7 drops Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides)
