A new study, published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, shows that a specific oil can drastically lower blood pressure.
But you don’t eat the oil to lower your blood pressure. The effects come from a different way of using it.
Aromatherapy has been some kind of super star lately.
The study proved that essential oils used in aromatherapy actually lower blood pressure.
The study followed 83 people for 24 hours.
Of those, 28 were treated with a blend of essential oils. The others were split into groups that were either treated with a placebo, or not treated at all
Those who received the essential oil treatment had immediately lower levels of cortisol and other stress hormones.
The scientists concluded that relaxation therapy using essential oils for blood pressure control and prevention is highly recommended.
What are essential oils?
Not everything that is labeled ‘essential oil’ is the real stuff. And often products get labeled “aromatherapy” just because they contain fragrance.
It is not just the smell that makes the therapy work. It is the tiny molecules of the essential oils that enter the bloodstream that will do the work. So make sure you find pure essential oils to work with.
The following essential oils were used in the study mentioned earlier:
– Lavender
– Ylang-ylang
– Marjoram
– Neroli
How to use the oils
Massage:
You can use carrier oils like almond oil or coconut oil and add just a little essential oil (a drop or two per ounce). Massage any part of the body with the oil.
Inhalation:
When you massage with oil, you will automatically inhale the oil as well. You can also add drops of essential oil to steaming water or use a dispenser to inhale oils during the night.
The real conclusion of this study is that to lower blood pressure, you must lower your stress hormone level. And although essential oils are good, they’re not enough.

What on earth are people who find themselves allergic to flower ols to think? This is the most unresonable article I have seen so far. Others are merely incitements to buy something and can be ignored. This one is positively dangerous. Were I to use lavender oil or neroli or ylang-ylang (and I have tested them in the past because I used to live with a man who believed in oils) I would become very ill and unable to breathe. That could lead to death. Whuy does nobody point this out? The suggestions in the above article are recklessly dangerous and peopleshouldnot be fooled into thinking that it is their own fault.
Addicted to essential oils.
Not everyone is allergic to essential oils, I use them on a daily basis and they've helped with various health issues.I think your comments are very judgmental, negative and aggressive. It's too bad you do have these allergies because you could really benefit from them, it might adjust your attitude.
