New Aromatherapy Essential Oils Website
I'm in the process of retiring this blog and moving all the information to a new website. As information in a post gets moved, I'll update the post with a link to the new page on the new site. If you've been following this blog, thank you. And, I invite you to head over to the new Aromatherapy Essential Oils site and start following it. As I move information, I'm also updating it and, often, adding new information.
Essential Oils for Panic Attacks
While essential oils for panic attacks are not a cure, they may help you manage or stop panic attacks.
If you feel a panic attack coming on, aromatherapist Valerie Ann Worwood in The Fragrant Mind recommends applying undiluted lavender essential oil to your neck and chest.
Later, to help you relax more, take a warm bath with 8 drops of lavender. Or, blend 5 drops lavender with a teaspoon of carrier oil and massage your neck, shoulders, and abdomen.
If you are prone to panic attacks, Worwood recommends this panic attack calming blend:
If you prefer not to carry a bottle of oil, another option is using an aromatherapy inhaler. An inhaler is about the size of a tube of lipstick and contains a cotton wick. You apply essential oils to the wick, and put the cap on the inhaler. When you need it, take off the cap and sniff.
