Summary
Overview: Essential oils are renowned
for helping one feel more energetic and productive. There
may be underlying reasons for fatigue, but even if fatigue
is a symptom of a larger problem, essential oils can offer
relief. A cause of fatigue can be physical, including
over-exertion, low blood sugar, poor nutrition, obesity, and
hypertension. Other causes of fatigue may be emotional like
depression, hormonal imbalances, and stress. These cause may
be obvious, if it is not, it might be important to see a
physician. Whatever the cause, essential oils can be used
complement any treatment. Eating healthy, getting plenty of
rest, and regular detoxification are important factors that
will help with fatigue. Citrus oils such as bergamot,
grapefruit, lemon, and wild orange are excellent for
stimulation and boosts energy. Highly recommended are citrus
or elevating blends. Peppermint and spearmint are awakening
oils that are also good for shock or fainting.
Application: Diffuse one of the
suggested oils or a blend throughout the day to boost
energy. If away from home, make a blend with the favorite
stimulating oils. For on-the-go situations rub the mix into
the hands several times per day and cup and inhale, use an
inhaler, or make a tissue cup. For help waking up in the
morning use an uplifting oil or blend with a tissue cup,
inhaler, or apply stimulating oils to the feet after a
morning shower.
Other oils: basil, cassia, cinnamon, rosemary, and white
fir.

basil, cassia, cinnamon, spearmint, white fir
Suggested protocols:
To temporarily re-energize consider these techniques:
·
Put about 5 drops of peppermint into the hand then
pull the palm across the back of the neck just below the
hairline, and spent a couple minutes massaging the oil
in. Work it from side to side, and then pull
the palm up the back of the head, half way to the
crown of the head. Repeating hourly or more often
is not harmful.
·
Put Elevation, peppermint, or a blend of peppermint and
rosemary in an inhaler (similar to a Vicks inhaler,
available at essential oils accessory stores). Inhale
with drowsiness as necessary.
To help restore balance in all body functions use the
AromaTouch
Technique and supplement it with necessary oils if
there are obvious health issues. This is a great
source of relaxing and revitalizing when exhaustion and
fatigue come from stress.
For fundamental help with chronic fatigue consider:
·
Cleansing the GI tract with
GX Assist
and PB Assist
and/or cleansint the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and
skin with
Zendocrine. Also see more
alternatives/information on
cleansing and detoxifying
the body.
·
Support proper nutritional levels with
Life Long Vitality
supplements.

Debbie - A friend of mine called me last
week desperate for help. Her daughter was getting married in
a few days and there was no way she could get to the wedding
in the shape she was in. She had been in bed for weeks with
excruciating pain in her leg, and extreme exhaustion. She
does everything natural and had exhausted her resources.
She had been to holistic doctors with no success. I
was nervous she had a blood clot. She
wouldn’t go to a doctor to have it checked out. It is a
little scary to be the one working on a person when you know
their life literally could be in your hands. Blood
clots can break loose and when they do, they go to the heart
and people die instantly. I did the Aroma Touch Therapy on
her and prayed A LOT. (We added birch, cypress and
helichrysum.) She got out of bed the next day feeling quite
encouraged. We did the therapy 3 times and she was
able to go to the wedding and is now doing well.
What Science & Research are saying
Effects of fragrance inhalation on
sympathetic activity in normal adults.
Japanese journal of pharmacology, November, 2002;
Haze S, Sakai K, Gozu Y.
Abstract
We investigated the effects of fragrance inhalation on
sympathetic activity in normal adult subjects using both
power spectral analysis of blood pressure fluctuations and
measurement of plasma catecholamine levels. Fragrance
inhalation of essential oils, such as pepper oil, estragon
oil, fennel oil or grapefruit oil, resulted in 1.5- to
2.5-fold increase in relative sympathetic activity,
representing low frequency amplitude of systolic blood
pressure (SBP-LF amplitude), compared with inhalation of an
odorless solvent, triethyl citrate (P<0.05, each). In
contrast, fragrance inhalation of rose oil or patchouli oil
caused a 40% decrease in relative sympathetic activity
(P<0.01, each). Fragrance inhalation of pepper oil induced a
1.7-fold increase in plasma adrenaline concentration
compared with the resting state (P = 0.06), while fragrance
inhalation of rose oil caused a 30% decrease in adrenaline
concentration (P<0.01). Our results indicate that fragrance
inhalation of essential oils may modulate sympathetic
activity in normal adults.
