Anxiety is a disorder that affects most adults in the United States.

Although it can be debilitating, several different essential oil blends can help relieve anxiety and provide pathways to relaxation.

You can use them aromatically or topically for best results with these oils.

1. Peppermint and Rosemary Essential Oil Blend

Peppermint and rosemary are tremendous essential oils for relaxation, making them excellent choices to start with when creating an essential oil blend for anxiety relief.

How to use:

To create the best combination possible, combine three drops of peppermint oil with two drops of rosemary oil in a diffuser or apply using the palms of your hands after diluting in a carrier oil, like castor oil, first to avoid possible irritation or burning sensations. 

2. Bergamot and Lavender Essential Oil Blend

These calming oils make it easy to help you relax after your day is over.

How to Use:

Creating a best-of-both-worlds scent involves combining two drops of bergamot oil and four drops of lavender oil in a diffuser, applying them to your palms using some carrier oil, or adding five drops of the oil blend into a bath.

3. Lavender and Rose Essential Oil Blend

For best results, diffuse three drops of lavender and two drops of rose oils at night to provide relief from anxiety while you sleep.

How to Use:

Add these soothing oils to a warm bath for best results, or apply it directly from the bottle onto your wrists after diluting with a carrier oil.

Just be sure not to get any essential oil blend on your face, as it can cause redness and irritation.

This aromatherapy oil blend is best created with one drop of marjoram essential oil and three drops of clary sage.
