Handle Your Stress to Keep Your Immune System Strong
SUMMARY
Have you ever work really hard to the point of exhaustion and then got sick? That's no coincidence! Stress can be a killer to the immune system.
Prolonged stress can have a negative impact on our physical and emotional health as it wears down our immune system. Excessive work, sleep deprivation, poor eating habits, lack of self care, and stressful relationships all contribute.
Our bodies are not designed to sustain a heightened state of stress day-in-and-day-out and over time, our immune systems can become compromised. Too often, when we are stressed, our self-care routines like eating nourishing food, exercise and proper rest fly out the window, making us even more vulnerable to a weakened immune response.
Oils can be a powerful aid in releasing tension, managing stress and strengthening the immune system.
For basic nutritional support, I recommend the Life Long Vitality vitamin supplement trio. It offers foundational nutritional support that is vital for every body system.
Right now, we live in a time of heightened stress collectively. Feelings of loneliness, disconnect, anxiety, depression, sadness, inner tension, and worry combined with social isolation, financial hardship and major disruptions to daily living can further weaken our immune system.
When times are stressful, I like to turn to essential oils for support. Adaptiv addresses feelings of depression and anxiety while helping us adapt to the situation at hand. If left unchecked, "failure to adapt" or failure to cope with all the stressors in our lives can be deadly.
One of the beautiful things about essential oils is that every one helps us some way emotionally. Here are some current additional favorites:
Peace. The Peace blend helps you let go of tension, relax and center.
Frankincense, Bergamot & Wild Orange. This is a beautiful trio! It not only smells amazing but each oil powerfully addresses stress.
Bergamot helps resolve trauma, stress, anxiety and PTSD.
Wild Orange is incredibly uplifting and a great tension buster.
Frankincense is incredibly grounding. It's a powerful mood stabilizer that helps you feel centered, connected and calm.
