Does the idea of going to the dentist make you feel nervous?
(Part I)
Dentophobia is a fear of the dentist. People with this specific phobia feel anxious when they think about going to the dentist or actually visit the dentist. Past negative experiences, family history or feeling a loss of control can lead to dentophobia. Many people find it helpful to do stretches, meditation, or deep controlled breathing. If you suffer from extreme anxiety, you may want to call up your dentist and ask about what type of sedation techniques may be appropriate to help you relax further.
But before seeking any further information on sedation techniques, there is an option that goes along with breathing exercises, and this is the use of essential oils.

So for sure you only want "the best of the best" when it comes to this super concentrated and pure plant extractions. Am I right?
The limbic system is involved in the processing of our emotions, survival instincts, and memory formation and connects senses, such as odors, to our memories and emotions. Consider it a great option as it does not involve any more needles, it is non-invasive and has no secondary effects on the patient.
