Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


A client came to me suffering with anxiety and panic attacks. These attacks were severe and he was rushed to the hospital fearing a heart attack. After the doctor pronounced that his heart was in great shape, that he was having a severe panic attack and he that he should see his primary care physician.

He saw the doctor, who prescribed medication, but he did not want to take it because of all the side effects. He came to me hoping that there might be something he could do to avoid taking drugs.

I gave him a few drops of Idaho Balsam Fir in his hands, which he proceeded to cup over his nose and breathe in deeply through his nose. He immediately started to feel better, the knot in his stomach dissipated, the headache started to diminish and his pulse rate came down.

He continued to use the Balsam Fir and has never had another panic attack or anxiety problem.

It is important to note that not all essential oils maintain the vital chemistry that gets therapeutic results after they have been distilled. Young Living oils are the only oils I have seen produce results that are therapeutic.

People often ask me how do you know which oils to use? I teach classes and offer consultations to those who are interested in learning how to use essential oils for a more natural health approach.

2.Associated topics: emotions-/-feelings — "The present study indicated that lavender aromatherapy as a potential therapeutic modality could alleviate premenstrual emotional symptoms, which, at least in part, is attributable to the improvement of parasympathetic nervous system activity. This study further implies that HRV could evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy using various fragrances to relieve premenstrual symptoms, and ultimately, support the mind and body health of women."Link
3.Associated topics: breathing-/-inhale — "Cineole has mucolytic, bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the exacerbation rate in patients suffering from COPD, as well as ameliorates symptoms in patients suffering from asthma and rhinosinusitis.... The effects of Cineole in the treatment of acute bronchitis were clearly measurable and could be proven after a treatment period of merely 4 days. This study corroborates the fact that Cineole actively and significantly reduces cough frequency after four days."Link
4.Associated topics: stress-/-tension-/-burnout,anxiety-/-worry — "After inhalation of clary sage oil, cortisol levels were significantly decreased.... Thyroid stimulating hormone was also reduced.... Clary sage oil has antidepressant-like effect...."Link
5.Associated topics: stress-/-tension-/-burnout,anxiety-/-worry,headache — "Lavender, mint [peppermint], orange, rose, chamomile, rosemary, and sage were used....
