You guys, I can't get enough of our Mindfulness blend! I'm obsessed. And you should be too, here is why (I will try to keep it simple):
When we are stressed or anxious (um, holidays anyone?!) our cortisol levels tend to spike. Cortisol is a steroid hormone. Too much cortisol in your bloodstream on an ongoing basis can cause and exacerbate anxiety, sleep issues and other negative effects. It is imperative to find ways to lower your overall cortisol levels. Enter Mindfulness blend.
Mindfulness contains an amazing combination of oils to support the brain and its ability to focus - basil, rosemary, sage, orange, and a few other important oils. I'd like to speak about rosemary, specifically. Studies show the aroma of rosemary has been linked to improving mood, clearing the mind, relieving stress and lowering cortisol levels (including those with chronic anxiety or stress hormone imbalances). Rosemary is known to rapidly reduce cortisol levels by simply just smelling it - alleviating stress in the body. When you are able to lessen the burden on the adrenals (with the simple act of smelling rosemary) they will be able to restore themselves over time. Rosemary is most herbalists top 3 herbs. It's a powerful, hearty healer. And, in combination with the other oils in this blend, cortisol lowers and overall brain function and focus is so much better.
Try it for yourself. It will amaze you.
ps. My sister is a teacher and diffuses this blend in her classroom everyday. Her kids love it and she DEFINATELY notices a difference in the kids and their focus. Got a friend or loved one who is a teacher? This would be an epic gift!
