DIY Stress Recovery Serum

It's no secret that emotional and psychological stress can wreak physical havoc on the body. We've all heard of the 'mind body connection' and probably have our own stories of how something has gone downhill physically during times of stress. Even current scientific has connected stress to physical ailments. And lately stress seems to be the theme of the world... for us, for our kids, for our circumstances...

• 4 oz glass dropper bottle
• Castor Oil (see note below)
• 25 drops Nutmeg
• 20 drops Clove
• 20 drops Frankincense
• 20 drops Rosemary

• Nutmeg - THE essential oil for adrenal support, Nutmeg helps process and balance feelings of Exhaustion - which makes perfect sense. When our stress response system is on overdrive, how could we feel anything BUT exhausted? And when we are exhausted we are more prone to injury and illness.
• Frankincense - is a versatile oil that supports immunity, helps the body process inflammation and works as an antioxidant in the body. Frankincense has long been used for its powerful health-supporting properties, and has been used 'to treat every conceivable ill known to man.'
• Clove - THE Essential oil for powerful antioxidant support. Clove has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 1,078,700 (read: Clove is able to absorb and mitigate a LOT of free radicals. It's ability to do so is basically OFF the charts.) Why antioxidants? Because they help boost immunity and allow the body to repair cellular damage caused by the environment, injury and - you guessed it - stress!
• Rosemary - one of the components of the 'Four Thieves Vinegar' and the Thieves essential oil blend. Rosemary has wonderful cleansing properties, supports the liver and helps support healthy blood pressure levels, which all connect to the adrenals through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-axis).
