36. Essential Oils for Anxiety: Calm Stress, Intrusive Thoughts, and Worry with the Healing Power of Essential Oils

Essential oils for anxiety? You bet! Essential oils can be wonderful tools in supporting your mental health! Last week, on episode 35, I had holistic psychiatrist, Dr Ellen Vora on the podcast, and we talked all about holistic approaches to anxiety, getting to the root cause, and even finding healing.
