Healthy circulation is critical for delivery of oxygen and nutrient rich blood to the body and the brain, while simultaneously carrying toxins and waste to the kidney and liver to be eliminated. You can use Essential Oils for circulation correction in your body.
An easy way to assess healthy circulation is to look at the circulation of the distal extremities like the fingers, toes and brain. Also, the brain is the most vertical tissue and is consistently dealing with the forces of gravity due to its vertical position.
Some symptoms of poor circulation include:
• No Brian endurance for focus and concentration
• Cold hands and face
• Must exercise or drink coffee to improve brain function
• Poor nail health or white (instead of pink) on the nail beds
• Fungal growth on toenails
• Prefer to wear socks at night
• Nail beds are white instead of pink
• The tip of the nose is cold
• Hair thinning or falling out
All of these indications reflect the lack of blood flow and nutrients to extremities. For example, blood flow to the scalp is responsible for caring hormones and essential nutrients needed by the hair follicles. Therefore when circulation is compromised to the head, many individuals complain of hair falling out and thinning.
You can also touch the distal extremities, like the fingers the toes and the nose, and compare the temperature to that of the arms and the legs or the rest of the face. The temperature should be the same on both the distal extremity and the body if circulation is healthy.
Essential Oils for Circulation
Essential oils can help improve circulation by relaxing the blood vessels and improving the health of the blood vessels. This helps more blood circulate through them, improving circulation in the process. Essential oils can also be used to help the veins contract, stimulating blood flow. Essential oils may also help alleviate some of the triglycerides that can form and restrict blood flow.
Essential oils can also be used to improve lymphatic system functionality which can help flush out toxins and reduce inflammation of the blood vessels, improving blood flow throughout the body.
The following Top 5 Essential Oils for Circulation may help to stimulate blood flow in the veins and improve poor circulation:
1. Circulation™
Formulated to support healthy circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrient rich blood to the body and the brain, while simultaneously carrying toxins and waste to the kidney and liver to be eliminated. Apply 2- 3 drops on the sides or back of the neck, over the left clavicle, on the wrists or ankles to support energy, brain endurance and warmth of the distal extremities, like the fingers and toes.
2. Breathe™
Formulated with three different types of Eucalyptus essential oil, which is known as a great vasodilator. As it enters the body, eucalyptus essential oil increases the blood flow by relaxing the blood vessels, thereby allowing more blood to circulate. Breathe™ can also help improve blood and oxygen flow to the brain. If poor circulation makes you feel tired or fatigued, apply 1 – 2 drops of Breathe™ over the heart and lungs.
3. Energize™
Formulated to improve circulation and restore the body’s vitality and energy, Energize™ contains several powerful oils like Geranium to help to improve poor circulation by toning the blood vessels and Peppermint™ to help facilitate blood flow. To apply, massage 1 -2 drops of Energize™ over the heart.
4. Lymph™
The Lymphatic system works in tandem with the circulatory system. Lymph™ is uniquely formulated to increase circulation of fats and white blood cells within the lymphatic system for optimal delivery of nutrients to cells and removal of waste from the cells. To apply, massage 1- 2 drops each to sides of neck, lymph nodes under arms and around inguinal ligament (bikini line area).
5. Heart™
The heart integrates and balances the physical, emotional, and mental body, providing blood to every cell and every organ. The heart is also our body’s reset button, but a state of constant stress can fatigue the heart and compromise our ability to reset, leading to inflammation, infections, toxicity and heart disease. To return the heart to balance and support circulation, apply 1 -2 drops of Heart™ over the heart.
