Using Essential Oils for Stress, Anxiety and Grief with Jodi Cohen

How are your stress levels lately? If you’re feeling even more stressed out than usual, that’s totally understandable.

The mental and emotional toll of this pandemic is affecting all of us in some way.

And I’m here to offer you a great resource to help with stress, anxiety or grief.

I reached out to aromatherapy expert, Jodi Cohen, and asked her to share tips and strategies to use essential oils to strengthen the immune system, feel more calm and boost your mood naturally.

(To be clear, while essential oils can help aid the natural healing systems in the mind and body, they are NOT meant to override the need for counseling. They’re simply a tool you can add to your stress-reduction toolkit.)

Jodi has helped over 50,000 people heal from brain related challenges, including anxiety, insomnia, and autoimmunity.  She is one of the top resources for essential oils education.

Keeping our stress at a minimum and our immune systems healthy are critical, especially now.

And I want to make sure you have simple and effective tools to help you boost your immune health and alleviate the heaviness we’ll all feeling right now.
