A synergy blend of essential oils can be more effective for promoting relief and healing than any single essential oil. The best pure essential oils to use in synergy to relieve depression, include: Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage and Atlas Cedarwood

ATLAS CEDARWOOD ( Cedrus atlantica ) – A warm and rich wood oil Atlas Cedarwood has a fortifying effect on the mind and emotions and bolsters one’s courage in times of great change and unsettled circumstances. In general all Cedarwood essential oils are very grounding!

Atlas Cedarwood’s antidepressant properties may help alleviate or prevent depression, lift the mood and counter states of melancholia. Its sedative action has a soothing, tranquilizing and calming effect on the body. Atlas Cedarwood is also useful as a tonic for strengthening and enlivening the entire BodyMind system.

CLARY SAGE ( Salvia sclarea ) – An especially inviting, softly floral and sweet oil! Clary Sage can have a deeply soothing effect on nervous tension in both men and women.

Clary Sage’s stimulating, regenerative and revitalizing action makes it excellent for treating nervousness, weakness, fear and depression.

Clary Sage is known to promote long lasting states of tranquility, warmth and aliveness. For some people Clary Sage has an especially hypnotic effect on the mind and emotions producing very tranquil and peaceful states.

Clary Sage may be especially helpful for relieving stressful or tense physical and emotional states.

YLANG YLANG ( Cananga odorata ~ True Ylang Ylang ) – Softly sweet and warm has an intoxicating aroma (pronounced “eelang”) with sensual overtones. This in the Malayan language means “flower of the flowers.” A native flower of Madagascar and the Reunion Islands its fragrant pale yellow blossoms are used to grace a new marriage bed with a blessing of love and lasting happiness. Research studies indicate it stimulates the Central Nervous Systems and may be helpful for alleviating depression.

Ylang Ylang is high in sesquiterpenes. Ylang Ylang III, the last fraction collected during the last hours of distillation, is slightly thicker, earthier and less sweet oil, and is composed almost entirely of sesquiterpenes.

These are a class of chemicals common in higher plants that are naturally occurring alcohols. Sesquiterpenes rarely exist in volatile aromatic oils. When distilled from plant matter sesquiterpene compounds are known to stimulate the liver and endocrine glands. They give it its powerfully antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ylang Ylang is an excellent remedy known for soothing tachycardia and hypertension!

One of the first essentials oils to consider when needing help for regulating and balancing the nervous system. Inhalation may help deepen your respiration for slower more rhythmic breathing. Helpful for panic!

Performance anxiety is a common problem for many people. It involves the person suffering from the problem having overwhelming concerns over their sexual performance that can affect the ability to achieve an erection or maintain one. This problem can also affect women but the results are often different. The reasons for the anxiety may take many different forms, but an understanding partner can often help the situation.

Many people will over analyze every aspect of their sexual performance including the response and breathing of their partner. They will worry that they are not pleasing their partner and this will lead to their inability to sustain an erection or may cause a lack of interest completely. Some people will avoid sexual contact in order to lessen their anxiety and stay away from the situation completely.

The problem can become compounded as one unsatisfying sexual contact leads to more anxiety. There is hope for partners who are suffering from this problem. It can be very helpful if one partner is willing to work with the other to help with the anxiety. An understanding partner will help to relieve the anxiety that the other feels and may help to correct the issue.

Finding new ways to enjoy sexuality can also help the anxious partner to relax and enjoy their partner and eliminate the disabling thoughts. Some time spent in therapy can also help a person overcome their performance anxiety. Discovering the root cause of the anxiety is key to eliminating it. Because performance anxiety can be caused by one single event that leads to more anxiety, finding the cause of the original event can begin to relieve the stress. It might be a medication that was the cause of the original problem. This one event should be looked at realistically to get over the anxiety that is felt.

Exploring the problem can help a person get the causes and feelings that they are having off of their chest and out into the open. This can also help someone get over performance anxiety. Hypnosis is also used effectively to treat the problem. Helping the person to relax during the stress inducing situation will help them to overcome the anxiety. Usually, once sexual performance is restored the anxiety will begin to disappear.

Overcoming a self-fulfilling problem like performance anxiety can be very difficult. Once a few positive experiences are achieved the issues will self correct. If the underlying cause of the original problem is a medical condition it will need to be corrected before the anxiety can be relieved. Medications and devices can be used to help a man achieve and maintain an erection which will go a long way to eliminating the stress and anxiety that is felt.
