There are many times in our busy lives that we can feel really low and a sense of sadness or in complete overwhelm and panic. Being able to manage our emotions naturally and with a bit of self care is important for our emotional wellbeing and will assist in dealing with the highs and lows of life.

I adore that I can reach for my essential oils based on how I'm feeling and can either apply them topically to the back of neck or wrists or put some in the diffuser and enjoy the aroma. When supporting my emotions with essential oils, I usually go for one of doTERRAs beautiful blends either from the Mood Management Kit or Emotional Aromatherapy Kit. I often have these in my handbag or car for when Im out and about.

Here is a list of the most common oils I use for sadness & overwhelm:

Mood Management Kit:

Elevation

Elevation is the perfect blend for those moments when you need to be revitalized. This exciting blend provides an invigorating combination of essential oils that can elevate your mood and increase your energy.
