5 Roller Blends for Emotional Support
One thing that really sealed then deal with essential oils for me was the emotional support it provided. Being a stay/work at home mama seems like the perfect job, and don’t get me wrong, in my opinion it totally is. However that doesn’t go without saying, that just because I love what I do, doesn’t mean that there aren’t a million emotions that arise each and every day.
Now I am sure a few of you are thinking, how on earth does sniffing a few plant oils help me get over strong emotional feelings?
Well lets break it down real quickly; when we smell scents they are passed through the olfactory bulb, which is part of the brain’s limbic system. This is the area that is closely associated with feelings and memory. This part of our brain has access to the amygdala, processes emotion, and the hippocampus, associated with memory and learning.
This is why scent is one of the most powerful tools to help with supporting emotional well-being. When we smell scents, they can help take us to a place of serenity and happiness.
And for this work at home mama, I need all the serenity I can get in a bottle!

Let Talk about dilution! I find it always a good idea to dilute my rollers about 1/4 – 1/3 of the way then add my oils in. But I want to make it known that anytime applying EOs to people under the age of 12 needs to ALWAYS be diluted. Below is a chart on the recommended dilutions.
Ages 0 – 1
1/8 EO to 7/8 Carrier oil
or
For every 1 drop of
Ages 2 – 6
1/4 EO to 3/4 Carrier oil
or
For every 1 drop of
Ages 7 – 11
1/2 EO to 1/2 Carrier oil
or
For every 1 drop of

Full label concentration
or
Dilute before applying if you have sensitive skin.
