Mind-Body-Heart Health<\/h3>\n

Knowing there\u2019s a connection between the mind and body and the heart and brain is important.<\/p>\n

Doing something about it, that\u2019s another story.<\/p>\n

With all the stress and division in today\u2019s world, it is becoming imperative that we pay attention to our emotional balance and nurture loving relationships for our heart. After all, one of the main reasons<\/a> I feel healthcare is failing to move the needle on cardiovascular mortality is because it is not paying enough attention to the imperative role that social connections and mental health have on heart disease outcomes.<\/p>\n

This is one reason I have been focusing so intensely on a holistic approach<\/a> to wellness and health and offering resources that integrate body, mind, spirit, lifestyle, genetics, environment, and socioeconomics in my naturopathic blogs<\/a>. My goal has been to assist people in these areas so that they can live more fully and align more passionately with their goals. Health can be viewed as a resource to get them there.<\/p>\n

Recently, my article in Natural Path<\/em><\/a> highlighted my favorite modality for supporting the connection between the mind and all body systems, essential oils. I use them with all my naturopathic and functional medicine clients<\/a>. Essential oils are in alignment with naturopathic medicine philosophies and partner perfectly<\/a> for integrative medicine support.<\/p>\n

Below is an excerpt from the article.<\/p>\n

Essential Oils for Mind-Body-Heart Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that our world is so separated and polarized, the importance of connection and effective communication can be challenging. One way I assist my clients to create resilience and build courage in relationships, beyond therapy and other modalities, is by using essential oils\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Essential oils\u2019 molecular components <\/em>simultaneously<\/em><\/a> support physical, psychological, and biochemical healing. By balancing emotions, they aid in clearing blocks that prevent deep connections and living to one\u2019s highest potential. Furthermore, by <\/em>alleviating negative reactions to stress, balancing hormones, and promoting bonding, they can allow one to feel safer to open up in relationships<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Essential oils also promote cardiovascular health directly through <\/em>various mechanisms of action.<\/em><\/a> For example, <\/em>ylang ylang oil<\/em><\/a> has been shown to lower blood pressure as it relieves stress and promotes calmness.<\/em><\/p>\n

The four essential oils highlighted in the article for mind-body-heart health include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ylang ylang<\/li>\n
  2. Geranium<\/li>\n
  3. Heart Unifying Blend<\/a> (based on a formulation to inspire unity and empowerment)<\/li>\n
  4. Lavender<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I also list several previous articles on essential oils and heart health and provide application tips.<\/p>\n
