Hypertension and eos

It is estimated that nearly 1.3 billion adults aged 30 to 79 years old have high blood pressure (hypertension). Almost half of these individuals are unaware that they do, which is why hypertension is often called "the silent killer." Hypertension, damages your arteries and heart, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease, aneurysm, heart failure, stroke, dementia, and more.

A clinical study evaluated the effects of inhaling a blend of essential oils and an absolute (three separate formulas with different percentages of the aromatics) containing citronella (12.5%-37.5%), nutmeg (12.5%-37.5%), and benzoin (25%) in a carrier oil base (25%) in people with hypertension aged 40 to 60 years old. Inhaling the blends resulted in significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and participants reported feeling more calm and refreshed.

To mimic one of the blends, add 30 drops of citronella, 20 drops of benzoin, 10 drops of nutmeg, and 15 drops of carrier oil to a 5 mL bottle. Shake well. Apply a few drops of the blend to a tissue or cotton pad and inhale for 15 to 20 minutes, twice daily.

🍋 LEMON 🍋

Lemon essential oils are popular for their cleansing and invigorating scent, but most people don't know about their hidden benefit: boosting your memory and helping you focus more on the tasks at hand. There's a strong connection between memory and attention. Having the ability to maintain a clear focus for extended periods often causes you to retain higher levels of information. That's one area that lemon oil excels in.

LET'S TALK BLACK PEPPER ESSENTIAL OIL!

Black pepper is a spice, but it also possesses many healing benefits. For instance, black pepper has an anti-inflammatory punch that reduces inflammation in the brain, which will promote faster recovery. Even more exciting is the fact that key components of black pepper assist cognitive function and even prevent decline. In addition, black pepper boosts circulation throughout the body—including the brain—which means that your brain will have more access to vital nutrients that help it heal.
