Did you know that in 1937, Dr. Rene Maurice Gattefosse published the the first modern book about using essential oils for therapeutic purposes. “Besides their antiseptic and bactericidal properties, Essential oils possess anti-toxic and antiviral properties have a powerful revitalizing action, undeniable healing powers and extensive therapeutic properties.” The Us National Library of Medicine (pubmed.gov) has over 12,375 medical studies representing the use of essential oils. For example, Bergamot was discussed in the article ” The effects of Aromatherapy in relieving symptoms related to job stress among nurses” International Journal Nurse Practitioners, Nov 15, 2013.
Lavender, Valerian, Cedarwood and Roman Chamomile are also indicated from insomnia and stress as they can have a calming effect on the mind through their influence of the limbic region of the brain.
In my practice as a therapist, many times I include the use of oils to help my clients process and heal through their emotional journey. If you are interested in learning more about how essential oils can naturally help you and your family, visit
