Life is demanding — the key to
adrenal
balance is to allow yourself more
restorative relaxation time
and sleep. |
| Your adrenal
glands are responsible for how you cope with
stress. If you’re trying to juggle a job, family
and the demands of everyday life, you are likely
to have overworked adrenals. |
Cortisol, the
“stress hormone” is produced by the adrenal
glands and regulates your body’s response to
stress. It works on a schedule — good sleep,
starting at 10 pm, maximizes adrenal hormone
function.
Out of balance cortisol levels
lead to:
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Trouble sleeping
- Aches and pains
- Mood swings
- Hair loss
- Brain fog
- Anxiety
- Feeling exhausted in the afternoon
- Dizziness
- Low libido
- Inability to handle stress
- Blood sugar issues
- Craving for salt
- Low daytime energy but awake at night
- Tired but wired feeling
|
A
simplified version of what happens is that
stress, if not properly dealt with, causes
imbalances in hormones in the body.
|
|
Basil
essential oil and Peppermint
essential oil working together,
increases the body’s natural response to both
physical and emotional stress, while
conditioning you to cope better.
Basil
essential oil soothes feelings of
anxiety, overwhelm and exhaustion. Rub a
couple of drops of basil
oil daily into your forearms or your ear’s
adrenal gland point at the tragus (the
cartilage above your ear lobe) to bring
balance to your adrenals.
Peppermint
essential oil along with Basil
essential oil, can help calm the mind.
The two, together work to to boost your mood,
focus, and energy levels.
Anise
is a powerful antidepressant. To fight thyroid
imbalance symptoms like fatigue and
depression, rub a drop of anise oil diluted in
a carrier oil in your hands and rub together
to warm. Inhale the warm scent for a mood
boost.
|
Lavender
and Rosemary
Lavender
and Rosemary
enhance free-radical scavenging activity - and
decrease the stress hormone, cortisol, which
protects the body from oxidative stress.

Here
Are Some Ways To Incorporate Essential Oils
Into Your Routine For Addressing Adrenal
Fatigue
|
Morning
Routine with Essential Oils For Adrenal
Fatigue
|
During your
morning shower, rub the area around your kidneys
(your lower back is close enough) with a
washcloth to activate the adrenals. After a bit
of massage in that area, turn your back away
from the water and then massage a few drops of
diluted essential oil in a carrier oil, of, Basil
- Peppermint
combo - or Anise
oil in the same area. Massage and breathe deeply
as the aroma fills your shower. These oils mimic
adrenal hormones and can help stimulate the
adrenal cortex, giving a natural energy boost to
your morning.
|
Evening
Routine with Essential Oils
|
A warm bath, warm
forehead compress, or heated neck wrap with a
few essential oils is perfect to calm and soothe
your system and cue your relaxation response.
Try essential oils like lavender,
ylang
ylang, frankincense
or rose.

Stress
comes in so many forms: emotional
burdens, difficult relationships, financial
pressures, discontentment with a job, poor diet,
illness, care-giving, not enough sleep… The list
goes on and on.
So whatever form(s) stress takes for you, take
every measure possible to reduce or eliminate
it.

Get
Grounded
|
Our bodies are
bombarded with constant, but invisible,
electro-magnetic frequencies (EMFs) from the
modern world — wifi, TV, cell phones, power
lines, and more. As necessary as these devices
are, they also harm our body's electrical
energy, especially when we're surrounded by them
all the time.
The
Earth,
however, has a negative charge that “cancels
out” the harmful effects of EMFs.
Those who suffer from adrenal
insufficiency can often describe a feeling of
not being grounded — almost as if they feel
disconnected from themselves, from others, and
from the earth. And it's no wonder… We spend so
much time inside, in front of screens, carrying
our phones in our pockets, in our cars —
basically surrounded by EMFs!
Spending time outside is of utmost importance
when healing any ailment or dysfunction in the
body. It's even better if you can take off your
shoes and connect with the earth.
|
Easy
and free ways to do this
Go for a barefoot walk — even better if the
grass is wet — at least three times per week.
Swim in natural, wild water — lakes, rivers, the
ocean, anything that isn't a swimming pool!
Lay outside in the sunshine, on a beach, on a
rock — take a nap or read and don't hurry this!
Sit with your bare feet in the grass or on
natural rocks. Put your toes in the sand.
Grounding refers to a state of
being in our world on multiple levels:
Physically grounded – our connection to Earth
Emotionally grounded – where our thoughts and
emotions move freely and without restriction
Spiritually grounded – where our connection to
our “spirit” or “source” is open and abundant
|
Essential
Oils For Grounding
|
Many
of the grounding oils come from trees, barks
and resins, which makes logical sense. We know
that trees are intrinsically grounded through
their root structure into the Earth.
Cypress
Consider using Cypress
if you feel fear, perfectionism, rigidity and
the need for control. Cypress
can create an energetic flow, allowing you to
let go of the past and move on with life.
It helps to create flexibility to your
life. Also consider Cypress
if your breath is shallow. It can help you
take a really deep breath and bring more oxygen
into the body.
Myrrh
Myrrh
provides a connection to our Mother Earth. When
we feel unsafe in the world, have distrust of
others and feel alienated, Myrrh
can assist us through this energy to feel safe
and secure. It can help re-unite the spiritual
with the physical, building a bridge between
Heaven and Earth and strengthening the link
between the base and crown chakras (energy
centers). It may help instill a deep
tranquillity of the mind, soothing and grounding
the intellect. It is one of the principal oils
to consider for over thinking, worry and mental
distraction.
|
Clary Sage may help
with fatigue and shallow breathing by deepening
the breath by opening the chest when it feels
tight or constricted.
Thyme may help
stimulate the lungs (consider for shallow
breathing). It is a traditional remedy for
melancholy as it helps open the chest
area. Thyme is indicated for nervous
debility and chronic anxiousness.
|
We may also
become Un-grounded
Through illogical
thought patterns, stress and
anxiousness
So essential oils that help with such conditions
should also be considered. |
Grounding
Consider if you feel, disconnected,
scattered , ungrounded, unstable or unwilling to
take responsibility for self or life. It
may help with calming hyperactive people,
grounding and teaching perseverance by staying
present with a specific plan until
completed. In addition it is anti-bacterial and
very soothing to the respiratory system.
Energy The beauty of this
blend lies in its ability to ground us mentally,
calming the mind and bringing us back to the
present moment – the “now”. Consider this
blend if you find you are daydreaming, easily
distracted and scattered or lack physical
presence or awareness.

Self-care -
You Really Should Take Care of Yourself.
You take care of those around you.
Regularly taking the time, even in small and
simple ways, to nurture and take care of
yourself is crucial to your well-being.
|
It’s not
selfish. The more you nurture yourself,
the better you are at supporting others.
|
There
are different types of self-care
|
Physical
Self-Care
Often when people think of self-care, they think
of the physical kind. Taking care of our
bodies is a significant component of self-care,
but it doesn’t have to include a vigorous
exercise routine. Let’s face it, the word
exercise can be intimidating, especially if
we’re already feeling so busy in our everyday
lives. The thought of adding yet another
new task to our schedule can feel incredibly
overwhelming.
The key to self-care is it should be something
you enjoy. If it starts to feel like an
obligation, then it may start adding to your
stress levels, as opposed to reducing them.
SOME
IDEAS:
Eating more Fruits and veggies
Drinking more water
Going for a walk during your lunch hour
Zumba or Yoga
Going for a run
Going for a bike ride

Emotional
Self-Care
Emotional self-care is about becoming more in
tune with our emotions. It’s about
checking in with yourself, becoming more mindful
of your triggers and thinking patterns, and
finding ways to work through them, rather than
bottling them up inside.
It’s okay to cry, to laugh, to feel angry – it’s
okay to feel exactly the way you are
feeling. Emotional self-care helps you
learn to have more compassion for yourself and
your emotions.
SOME
IDEAS:
Journaling – writing down our feelings can help
us better understand them
Practicing mindfulness and meditation – learning
to be more present
Setting more boundaries – it’s okay to say no
Being creative – express your emotions through
painting, writing, cooking, etc.
Starting a gratitude journal – focusing on what
you’re grateful for can sometimes help put
things into better perspective
Working on changing your negative self-talk –
practice replacing the negative with positive
self-talk

Spiritual
Self-Care
Spiritual self-care nourishes your soul, helps
you find inner peace, and gives you a greater
understanding of life beyond yourself.
This self-care doesn’t necessarily have to
relate to religion, although it can be religious
for some people.
This connection to something bigger than
yourself can help you find purpose and meaning
in life. It can give you the courage to push
through when times get difficult and inspire
hope time and time again.
SOME
IDEAS:
Practicing meditation
Spending time in nature
Praying
Writing in a gratitude journal
Donating to a charity or cause you believe in

Intellectual
Self-Care
We often neglect to care for our intellectual
well-being. This type of self-care
includes doing something you enjoy that
nourishes and challenges your mind. It
expands your knowledge.
Intellectual self-care can involve figuring out
what your current talents/strengths are and
developing them further. It can also include
learning a new skill.
Since this type of self-care helps you learn
more about your skills and interests, it can be
useful when deciding which career you are
passionate about the most.
SOME
IDEAS:
Reading a book
Completing a puzzle
Learning a new language
Taking a course on something that interests you
Watching a documentary on a topic you’re
interested in

Social
Self-Care
Humans, by nature, are social beings. We like to
feel connected with others. This type of
self-care may look different for introverts and
extroverts – because our levels of comfort in
social situations differ. But, a connection is
essential to us all. Having a support system of
individuals we can trust, and nourishing these
relationships can be an example of this
self-care.
SOME
IDEAS:
Spending time with loved ones
Going to lunch with a friend
Joining a yoga class, or any class that
interests you and that you can meet new people
Reconnecting with an old friend
Striking up a conversation with someone at the
coffee shop when you pick up your morning coffee

Sensory
Self-Care
Sensory self-care helps you nourish your senses
– sight, smell, touch, and sound. It is an
effective way of bringing your mind to the
present moment and helping you lower your stress
levels. Living in the present moment helps you
better cope with any past and future worry you
may be feeling. These simple, yet powerful
self-care activities can be effective ways of
becoming more mindful and soothing an anxious,
overwhelmed mind.
SOME
IDEAS:
Burning your favorite scented candle
Taking a warm bath with your favorite scented
bath bomb
Spending time in nature
Listening to soothing music
Walking barefoot on the grass

As you can see,
some activities can serve multiple types of
self-care.
The truth is, self-care may look different to
each of us, there is no one-size-fits-all
formula.
One self-care activity may help me, while
another may help you. The key is to be
intentional in making the time and effort to
invest in your wellness. |
Encouraging Better Health With Thyme
|
Thyme
is more than just a seasoning for turkey and has
an exceptionally long history of use. Even the
Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians burned the herb in
places of importance such as temples because the
oils in the smoke had antimicrobial or purifying qualities.
|
Thyme
is also known to work well for congestion and
chest colds because of its expectorant
properties. It helps break up mucus and has even
been used to assist with conditions such as
bronchitis and other respiratory-related
illnesses.
|
Make Thyme
Tea: Pour 1 cup of hot water over 1
teaspoon of dried Thyme or 2 teaspoons of fresh
leaves. Steep for 10 minutes and strain. Sage
and Thyme
are strong.
|
Thyme
has antiseptic qualities. It has antiviral and
antibacterial properties that are just the
ticket when you’re dealing with general cold or
flu symptoms.
