How Health Knowledge Hijacked Our Amygdala
We live in a time where we are taking in vast amounts of information. With knowledge at our literal fingertips, we can access in minutes that which may have taken experts years to understand.
Sometimes, this can be overwhelming. Regarding health, it can also be scary.
Many can relate to searching through online blogs in the hopes of finding solutions to our bodily symptoms. Within a few minutes; however, the best of intentions can get derailed, and we end up convincing ourselves that we have some frightening diagnosis. Even if we didn’t have health anxiety to begin with, “Dr. Google” can assist us in getting it.
Furthermore, we are also being bombarded by negative news around every corner.
All these factors make it nearly impossible to not be habitually in a state of anxiety.
Our amygdala’s (emotional brains) have been officially hijacked!
When we are in this space, we cannot heal. This is because our bodies and brains are doing the best they can to just survive.
From Fear to Health Empowerment
We need to calm down so our innate healing abilities can kick in.
It’s time to take our power back and give our minds and bodies the relaxation they crave.
There is one such modality that works directly on our emotional brain to help us accomplish this.
Essential oils have ancient roots in healing traditions while being verified in recent research to positively modulate our physiology, biology, and psychology in a myriad of positive ways.
As success stories pile up on how these natural remedies can support our wellness, the consumer demand for them is rising. Therefore, reliable, science-based information on how to incorporate them into our health regime is critical. Thankfully, there is a resource available that perfectly balances traditional use with the latest research on essentials oils.

There is no quality control in the United States, and oils labeled as “100% pure” need only to contain 5% of the actual oil. The rest of the bottle can be filled with fillers and sometimes toxic ingredients that can irritate the skin. The studies are not based solely on a specific brand of an essential oil, unless stated.
