How to Use Essential Oils for Nervous System Regulation
Essential oils used in combination with nervous system focused yoga is the ultimate combination, and this is what I love to share most of all. In addition, there are so many more ways to use oils, here are 5 more…
Diffusion:
Use a diffuser to disperse the essential oil into the air.
This method allows you to inhale the oils and benefit from their calming effects.
Topical Application:
Dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) and apply to the skin.
Common areas for application include the wrists, neck, and bottoms of the feet.
Bath:
Add a few drops of essential oil to a warm bath, add epsom salts if you have them.
The combination of warm water and essential oils can be very relaxing.
Inhalation:
Inhale the aroma directly from the bottle or from the palm of your hand with a few drops of oil.
This can provide immediate calming effects.
Massage:
Use diluted essential oils for a relaxing massage. I love fractionated coconut oil for dilution.
This can help reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation.
Always ensure you are using high-quality, pure essential oils such as those sold in my shop

Do follow proper dilution guidelines to avoid skin irritation. If you have any underlying health conditions or are pregnant, consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils.
