Aromatherapy Stress Relief

The 21st century American society has seen a continual rise in the number of adults suffering anxiety disorders.  According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of American (ADAA):
Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults age 18 or older (18% of the US population)
Anxiety disorders cost the U.S. more than $42 billion annually
More than $22.84 billion of these costs are associated with repeated use of health care services by people seeking relief for symptoms that mimic physical illnesses
Nearly one-half of people diagnosed with anxiety disorder are also diagnosed with depression
Although there are multiple uncontrollable risk factors for anxiety disorders such as genetics, brain chemistry and personality, one risk factor that is controllable is life style.
There are many essential oils effective in reducing stress, such as lavender, sandalwood, clary sage, frankincense, Roman chamomile, and ylang ylang.    Air diffusing, inhalation therapy or topical application are methods you can use to achieve your aromatherapy stress relief. 
If you are new to aromatherapy and do not want to invest in the numerous oils required to make a calming recipe of appropriate oils, products can be purchased to achieve the same results.
