You've likely heard, or said yourself, something along the lines of, "oh that makes my blood boil!" 

This is a direct display of how our emotions can have a physical effect on our body. Smells also have a physical effect on our body, which is why aromatherapy has been shown in studies to help physical ailments along with emotional ones. 

This all takes place thanks to a gland called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is found deep in the center of the brain. It is the primary regulatory center of the body that receives chemical signals through the blood and electrical signals through the nervous system. It is involved in regulating just about every metabolic function in the body.

If you are having a hard time wrapping your brain around the concept of our emotional state having a direct physical effect on the body, hook yourself up to a heart monitor, or have your blood pressure taken during a state of calmness and relaxation, and then work yourself up to a state of panic or fear and see how your readings change. I got to see this firsthand during child labor. It was pretty cool...looking back after it was all over!

Let's take a look at some of the emotions that are directly related to illness of the blood and circulatory system and how we can clean those up, shall we? 

White Blood cells are the worker bees of the immune system, combating infection and sending in blood platelets to heal. When we have a hard time coping with things like hard situations, our current environment, change, etc, our white blood cells carry that burden.

Put a drop of Valor™ in the palm of your non-dominant hand, then rub your palms together 3 times in a clockwise direction to activate the energy frequencies of each molecule. Cup your hands around your nose and mouth and inhale deeply in a series of 3 breathes. Do this while focusing your intentions on inner strength and living freely.

This is the technique you want to use whenever I mention "inhale from the palms".

Feelings of being crushed, restricted, or belittled are also carried through the blood. Diffuse Harmony™ while focusing on expanding and getting “big”, rising up from adversity. 

The fear of death or dying is carried through the arteries. Breathe in Helichrysum while focusing on life and feelings of success. 

Dread can also drag on the arteries.  Focus on passion and fun, while diffusing sandalwood or Live with Passion™.

Feelings of being disrespected can have an effect on the veins.  Release these emotions, and diffuse cypress, or apply to the feet while focusing on being free of insecurity and full of confidence. Also one who is oftentimes disrespectful of others will have health issues involving the veins. Again, release those tendencies, requesting they are no longer serving of you and must be released from your soul. Replace the disrespectfulness with feelings/thoughts of respect and gratitude, appreciation for the fine qualities of those you previously treated poorly.

Feelings of panic will have a direct affect on blood pressure. Go to your “happy place” with feelings of tranquility and peace. Diffuse or inhale Trauma Life™ if the cause of panic is a physical or emotional trauma.  Peace & Calming™ or Tranquil™ for unexplained panic.

The oil-emotion-organ parings have been extensively studied, and restudied, with resources going back as late as Biblical times. This particular information comes from the book, "Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils," By Dr. Carolyn Mein.

It is important to understand that only Young Living oils will have an effect at the cellular level when being applied because they are the only brand of oils that are truly unadulterated and distilled in a manner that keeps them alive. The constituents that do the work are still intact due to the way Gary Young learned to distill them for the highest quality oil, not just the most volume as others' methods focus on. Quality is important when you are looking for more than just a nice smell.
