Weekly Product Review-Blissful Heart

This week has had me thinking about emotional help and how our emotions can affect all areas of our life. If our emotions are imbalanced life can feel dreary and our mood can be low no matter what we do. Negative emotions can affect not only our view of ourselves and our lives but our physical appearance and our health can take quite a beating as well. For highly sensitive people like myself, the physical body and the mind are very closely connected. I can't remember ever a time in my life where I felt completely low and depressed and looked my best. Our face, skin, and body is a canvas for our emotional state. The most beautiful women glow with the happiness that they feel in their hearts. When the soul is happy the face and eyes shine and we appear supple and healthy. Depression and anxiety can dry out the hair from lack of vitamins and the whites of the eyes rarely appear white and clear during these times. The skin especially can break out in hives, acne, psoriasis, or even wrinkle faster during times of pain. However, depression, trauma, anxiety and loss are all real truths to this journey we call life

Low mood disorders affect millions of people each year, women being twice as likely to experience these emotions however. Women especially are highly susceptible to the sensitivities of the heart. Although the pain of these realities is unavoidable, there are many remedies and techniques that make these hard times a little easier. During a very difficult time for me I have found the power of scent to be a very nourishing comfort. During hopeless times a simple, uplifting scent can easily change a mood. Blissful Heart Aroma Oil has been a one of the key ingredients in my healing journey. This simple oil blend is designed to uplift one's mood in times of sadness and hopelessness. The fragrance blend combines Geranium Rose, Jasmine, Rose, sandalwood, peppermint, Lemon and Thyme. 

These natural flower essences work together to create a formula that really does warm the heart, making it once again feel full again, if not only for a moment. The oils themselves are made from pure essential oils and contain no trace of alcohol, fillers or toxic ingredients. This Ayurvedic oil blend helps allow the body to restore balance of mind and emotions. Through scent it helps the body reconnect to itself and restore feelings of joy and happiness. Scent being a catalyst for emotional change in the body is not a new idea. Aromatherapy is a concept  that is very effective as a natural alternative to anti depressants and anti anxiety medications. The scientific aspect of aromatherapy is connecting the thousands of aroma chemicals and how these are altered by different essential oils. The essential oil aromas, affect the part of the brain that stimulates emotions. This is why in turn inhaling these oils has such a positive affect on our seratonin levels, which heightens our mood. in Ayurvedic philosophies (traditional indian medicine) It is believed that the heart and mind are intricately connected. 

It is said that the seat of consciousness is in the heart, that all our perception depends on the state of the heart. When the heart is off balance we as individuals suffer tremendously both emotionally and physically. I have found that my heart is the most heavy towards the end of the day, which is the most common time for aromatherapy. Dabbing a drop or two of blissful heart oil on your temples, wrists or under the nose makes sleep much more peaceful. This also allows my body to relax and unwind more quickly before sleep. This oil can also be put into a diffuser and permeated throughout the room anytime of the day. I would recommend this oil be placed by every woman's  nightstand. Weather you are experiencing a breakup, grief, daily stress, or insomnia, this is a great find!
