Problems with sleep and stress are endemic in the United States. Each year, millions of Americans use unnatural aids, such as sedatives and narcotics, to help soothe their nerves and fall asleep. This has led to an overdependence on pharmacology to rest our brains. There is a better way. On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by an expert in the therapeutic effects of essential oils. A nutritional therapist and award-winning journalist, she’s developed ground-breaking blends that have been shown to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to naturally reduce stress and improve sleep. We discuss how to choose the right essential oil and blends for you, why diffusing oils while you sleep may not be a good idea, how and why your pets are affected by your oils, which four oils an essential oil novice should start with, and much more. Please join me and essential oil expert, Jodi Cohen, as we reveal How to Use Essential Oils to Reduce Stress and Improve Sleep.
