Return To Depression Article Archive   Depression Relief - Best Essential Oils to Use & Why By KG Stiles 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! PLEASE NOTE: There are many cheap, synthetic copies of aromatic oils, but these are not recommended for therapeutic use. For best results purchase the highest quality oils you can possibly find. Use certified organic essential oils, or oils that have been tested and are pesticide free.
