February is here, and let me tell you what – it’s COLD outside! It’s easy to get into an emotional rut this time of year since staying cooped up inside can often leave us not feeling our best. We already know how a real food diet can positively impact our overall health, and today our sponsor Stacy Paulsen with DiscoverNaturalSolutions.com is going to share how she believes essential oils can provide a quick and easy pick-me-up as well. Be sure to stay tuned for the huge essential oils giveaway at the bottom of the post!
Essential Oils for Emotional Support (with Stacy Paulsen)
Here are some simple solutions to provide a little pep to your day from our sponsor Stacy Paulsen.
“Essential oils can be a simple support for four areas of wellness,” she explains.
- Nutrition: Fennel, peppermint, and digestive blends can support proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and more.
- Exercise: Peppermint, marjoram, and soothing blends can aid discomfort associated with exercise or help with lacking motivation.
- Sleep & Stress: Lavender, Roman chamomile, and calming blends can support a restful night of sleep.
- Reducing Toxins: Lemon and clove are helpful in removing toxins from the body. They are also great alternatives for household cleaners, therefore reducing harmful chemicals.
Stacy’s three simple ways to include essential oils to support emotional wellness:
- Diffuse Wild Orange periodically throughout the day. You can even put a drop or two on your hands and inhale. This is great for supporting women’s (and spouses!) emotions.
- Take a soothing Epsom salt bath by mixing 1 cup Epsom or sea salt, 1/2 cup baking soda, and 10 drops essential oils. Good choices include lavender for calming, wild orange for energizing, or frankincense for soothing feelings of stress. These are also great for kids!
- Receive an essential oil hand, foot, or back massage with the AromaTouch massage. It helps balance the body and is calming in many ways. Stacy uses this on her whole family (did we mention she has 6 kids?!), and they all love it!

The Essential Mom’s Rollerball Kit sounds amazing, and can’t we all need all the help available to us in this day and age. While I am retired, thank you Lord, stress is simply a part of life, it happens. And these oils do make a vast difference. Love them. Thank you for the opportunity to broaden my horizons.
Hmmm…Interesting to read and may be to try too. If it’s really works,that’s great. The experiment times,,,Let’s try.
