Aromatherapy Helps Depression

Some feel that depression is something that can be snapped out of, but these individuals have obviously never suffered from depression.  Depression can be feeling of extreme sadness that come and go without warning.  Depression can also be severe and feel like a dark cloud following you where ever you go.

Depression affects you mentally making you feel like you are worth nothing.  It also affects your relationships.  Depression can affect you physically too.  Depression causes stress.  Stress causes a change in appetite, activity decrease, and can make the body strain.

There are remedies to help with depression.  Most people use pharmaceutical drugs, but these drugs have mild to severe side effects.  The drugs can be addicting, loss of hair, and other side effects.  There are other, more natural ways to help with depression.


Aromatherapy is a natural way of helping with depression.  Aromatherapy uses scents to help penetrate the feeling of despair and help the body heal naturally.  Other natural things like exercise and sufficient sleep can help with aromatherapy to heal depression.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils for the fragrance.  Three essential oils that work really well at helping to heal depression are Jasmine, lavender French, and Neroli.  These essential oils can be used separately or combined.  If you combine them, they are just more powerful and effective.

Jasmine is a potent yet beautiful fragrance.  It can help relax you physically so that you can leave the stresses of the day behind you.  Jasmine also helps to give you a boost of self-esteem.

Lavender French helps you to relax mentally.  It can also help your mood and muscles relax.  Lavender French comes from France and is a very popular oil fragrance.

Neroli oil is a great sleeping aid.  Like Jasmine and Lavender French, Neroli helps to relax as well.  It can also help you feel rejuvenated and dispel anger and irritability.
