Too much stress over long periods of time can reduce the levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in the brain. These neurotransmitters are responsible for helping to balance mood and increase productivity.
Both of these neurotransmitters are very important.
Without enough SEROTONIN in the brain, feelings of sadness, gloom, apathy, and hopelessness may arise.
And without enough DOPAMINE, it can become very difficult to start work or projects, stay on task, or get tasks completed.
But there are Essential Oils that have been shown to help balance out these neurotransmitter levels. These include:
• Lemon
• Wild Orange
• Clary Sage
• Cedarwood
• Bergamot
BERGAMOT is the most delicate of the citrus plants, requiring special climate and soil in order to thrive. Italians have used BERGAMOT for years to reduce feelings of stress.
BERGAMOT is unique among citrus oils due to its ability to be both uplifting and calming, making it ideal to help with anxious and sad feelings. It is also purifying and cleansing for the skin while having a calming effect.
