3 Powerful Essential Oils to Make Your Heartbeat Match the Beat of the Universe

The heart is the most important organ in our bodies, without its support the body would have no way to sustain life.

This is why being aware of our heart risks and how to maintain a heart healthy lifestyle should be a significant factor in our lives. Recent studies have shown that the use of aromatherapy and essential oils may help in the defense against heart disease. For instance, the Journal of Korea Medicine published a study about the effects of essential oils on stress in teens, the results discovered that being exposed to aromatherapy decreased stress responses causing lower blood pressure levels, heart rates, and stress levels.

Whether you are looking to add extra support for long lasting heart health, increase blood flow, or wanting to protect yourself from heart related illnesses, you can always count on nature to have your back. Below are three of the best essential oils to incorporate into your daily routine too give your heart the tender love and care it needs to keep beating strong.

1. Rose

Rose essential oils are sourced from the Rosa damascena plant, which was used as an ancient medicine for chest and abdominal pain and strengthening of the heart. This oil is known for its healing properties and is used in many aromatherapy remedies has a way to reduce stress. We all know that stress takes a big toll on our hearts, so by using rose essential oils we can reduce heart rate, and blood pressure levels.

How to use: When combined with a carrier oil, it can be applied directly to the skin or inhaled using a diffuser. Personally, I like to add just a drop or two in a nice bubble bath, believe me it's life changing, you will step out of the tub feeling like a brand new person.

2. Cape Chamomile

Chamomile is known for its calming effect on the mind. However, Cape Chamomile is a rare form of chamomile that is found in South Africa. For Cape Chamomile a small amount goes a long way. This essential oil is also greatly used as an anti-inflammatory and to sooth the nervous system.

How to use: Because its anti-inflammatory properties, this oil would be great to add two or three drops to your body lotion or moisturizer. Before mixing with any products, make sure to combine the oil with a carrier oil.

3. Juniper

Juniper berries are widely known as a common purifier and for their detoxifying properties. During the time of the Bubonic plague, people would hold these berries in their mouths to avoid inflections from the disease.

The essential oil of Juniper has tons of amazing benefits for our health, ranging for boost in mood, improving respiratory system, and over all cleaning the blood of any toxins that can be harmful.

How to use: Juniper is widely used in tonics for strengthening the body's system, it can be just as simple as adding a one or two drops in a glass of water or maybe even a healthy smoothie. Also, it can be used as a body oil, combined with a carrier oil (I would suggest either sunflower or coconut oil) it can improve blood circulation and rid the body of any toxins.
