Essential Oils Guide

Essential Oils

Essential oils are a true gift from nature, and at Artemis Therapeutics, our focus is on supporting harmonious living and providing natural, holistic products derived from plant-based sources.

What is an essential oil? Essential oils are naturally occurring aromatic compounds. They are volatile (which means they change from solid or liquid to a gas very quickly at room temperature), and are derived from the roots, stems, flowers, bark, seeds, and fruits of plants. Their fragrances can be both very appealing and very powerful. It is the essential oil within a plant that gives it its distinctive smell; these oils attract bees for pollination and also protect plants from pests.

Essential oils are also of enormous benefit to humans. Their volatility allows them to move through air quickly and to interact directly with our olfactory nerves. Used aromatically, applied topically, and where suitable, ingested internally, essential oils can help in the maintenance of a healthy body and a healthy mind.

Essential oils can be used for innumerable benefits, and there are thousands of varieties of volatile aromatic compounds known to humans. From anxiety minimization to treatment for sinus congestion, to enabling deep sleep through relaxation and calming properties of certain essential oils, each and every one of us can benefit from using these gifts from nature in our daily lives.

At Artemis Therapeutics, we offer targeted essential oil-based products:

Congestion

Nasal congestion affects a huge number of people, and whatever the cause, it represents blockage of the nasal passages due to inflammation of blood vessels which swell the membranes lining the nose. It can cause pain and discomfort, excessive mucous production, snoring and sleep apnea, trouble breathing, and an array of other issues.

Congestion can be caused by allergies, sinusitis, viral illnesses, medication reactions, and much more. Most people go to their pharmacy as a first port of call to treat congestion, but drugs, like antihistamines and decongestants, used for this purpose only mask the symptoms; they don't treat the cause. They also have side effects, including dryness, local irritation, drowsiness, dizziness, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, and more congestion.

Using essential oils for congestion can be very effective. These natural products are safe, adapt quickly to the body, and can be used topically, in the bath, in a steam inhalation, for massage, in a diffuser or vaporizer, or even as a sinus rinse in a neti pot (follow instructions carefully). Some of the best essential oils for congestion include tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, rosemary oil, geranium oil, oregano oil and peppermint oil.

Artemis Therapeutics' Cinnamon Massage Oil may be helpful for congestion too, thanks to its ability to stimulate the immune system, decrease inflammation, and fight viruses and free radicals.

Another great alternative for treating congestion is Artemis Therapeutics' innovative flagship product Lucidia. It is a natural, organic formula derived from herbal ingredients and delivered in capsule form to treat the cause of congestion rather than simply relieving symptoms. The scientifically proven ingredients alleviate congestion and other allergy symptoms including mucous production, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. They also promote immune, thyroid, and liver health.

Whether you wish to use essential oils for congestion or a natural herbal product like Lucidia, there is an alternative to taking over the counter pharmaceutical drugs. By choosing an all-natural route to better health, you'll avoid nasty side effects and feel better sooner.

Calming

Calming

One of the most effective ways essential oils can be used is for calming. Applied topically, used in an oil burner or diffuser, a few drops in a hot bath even on the floor of the shower, inhaled from a handkerchief, or used in massage oil, essential oils for calming can soothe away troubles and cares and promote relaxation and deep sleep. The calming benefits also help the immune system work better, since stress inhibits immune function.

Some of the very best essential oils for their calming properties include lavender, rose, frankincense, bergamot, chamomile, vetiver, marjoram, lemon, cinnamon, valerian, geranium, lemon, and fennel. At Artemis Therapeutics, we offer a unique and effective special blend of Cinnamon Massage Oil and Valerian Massage Oil.

Cinnamon Oil has a warm, musky, spicy aroma. The plant itself is native to Indonesia but also cultivated in Sri Lanka and India. Cinnamon was used as temple incense in the past; ancient Egyptians used the oil for foot massages. Important in trade between China, India, and Egypt, it was traditionally used in love potions and as a birthing sedative. Cinnamon oil must be used in small doses; it has many benefits including calming the digestive system, the nervous system, the respiratory system, and alleviating anxiety, rheumatism, arthritis, and menstrual symptoms. It has more than thirty proven therapeutic benefits.

Valerian Oil is another calming essential oil. It is a non-addictive natural sedative that is beneficial for alleviating nervous tension, mood swings, everyday stress, restlessness and sleep issues. Scientific analysis indicates that valerian can support the balance of a positive mood.

The gentlest way to enjoy the benefits of these essential oils is by using Artemis Therapeutics' Cinnamon Massage Oil or Valerian Massage Oil. Discover the calming properties of these natural products today.

Anxiety

Anxiety

Anxiety is a growing issue in the modern age. With the fast pace of life, and all the demands and expectations we place on ourselves, it's normal to feel worried or stressed at times; in fact, it's a perfectly normal human response. But for some of us, anxiety becomes the norm as opposed to an occasional passing thing.

Anxiety is much more than simply feeling worried or stressed. Anxiety remains even after the issue or perceived threat has passed. It is ongoing, may be non-specific, and if not addressed, can lead to depression. It can also manifest physical symptoms and contribute to chronic physical diseases over time. It's not something people can simply "snap out of". Anxiety comes in many forms, has many causes, and there are numerous ways to treat it.

Too many people turn to medication as a first response to ongoing anxiety. This is a mistake. While medications do have their place, they can be addictive and they have side effects. There are many natural approaches to take when addressing anxiety, and pharmaceuticals should always be a last resort.

Some non-pharmaceutical ways to address anxiety include:

  • Meditation
  • Exercise in natural sunlight
  • Consuming a healthy diet, including L-lysine
  • Consuming chamomile tea
  • Reduce caffeine and alcohol
  • Consuming Omega-3s
  • Taking "Time-Out"
  • Using Essential oils for anxiety
  • Psychological therapies

Using Essential oils for anxiety can be a powerful way to alleviate symptoms of anxiety. Some of the most effective essential oils for anxiety include:

  • Valerian essential oil
  • Lavender essential oil
  • Bergamot essential oil
  • Clary Sage essential oil (don't use during pregnancy)
  • Rose essential oil
  • Vetiver essential oil
  • Chamomile essential oil
  • Cinnamon essential oil

Here at Artemis Therapeutics, we offer two strongly targeted massage oil products for assistance with anxiety. Cinnamon Massage Oil utilizes cinnamon essential oil, which is proven to relieve depression and anxiety. Even more potent as an essential oil for anxiety is our Valerian Massage Oil. From enabling deep sleep to its calming and relaxation properties, it is a powerful tool for relieving and even conquering anxiety when used alongside the other natural lifestyle recommendations mentioned above.

Don't let anxiety impinge on your life any longer. Discover the benefits Artemis Therapeutics can offer you today.
