Music and Essential Oils the perfect Stress Release!

Enhance Your Wellbeing with B Calm Essential Oils and Music Therapy

Aromatherapy and music therapy form a powerful duo for emotional balance, stress relief, and mood enhancement. When I’m feeling overwhelmed or need to shake off a bad day, I love pairing my B Calm essential oils with a good playlist. For instance, when I need to uplift my mood, I turn to the bright, energising notes of Sweet Orange or Peppermint, and when I need calm, I trust Lavender and Frankincense to ground me while I unwind with an acoustic playlist.

Both aromatherapy and music influence the limbic system in our brain, playing an important role in our emotional response. They activate the amygdala, which is responsible for processing emotions, facilitating a relaxation or "feel-good" state. So, the next time you're feeling stressed, anxious, or just need a boost, grab your B Calm essential oils and your favourite playlist for a calming, uplifting experience.

Why B Calm Essential Oils Work Wonders for Your Wellbeing

The Science Behind Aromatherapy and B Calm Essential Oils

Did you know that smell is the only sense directly connected to your breath? We breathe around 23,000 times a day, and our breathing patterns reveal much about our emotions. When we feel anxious, we tend to take shallow breaths, which can increase feelings of stress. By taking a moment to inhale a soothing essential oil, we not only experience its therapeutic benefits but also help activate our parasympathetic nervous system, which brings calm.

For example, Lavender is widely known for its relaxing properties and is excellent for calming anxiety, while Frankincense promotes grounding and emotional balance. Peppermint and Sweet Orange are invigorating and perfect for uplifting your mood. When combined with B Calm’s Breathe Calm or Rest Calm oil, they can help you reset, recharge, and feel more centred.

Aromatherapy has been shown to improve heart rate variability, stimulate the Vagus nerve, and enhance vagal tone, all contributing to a calming effect on the body and mind.

The Benefits of Combining Aromatherapy with Music Therapy

When it comes to improving emotional wellbeing, combining music therapy with B Calm essential oils can have a profound impact on how you feel. Music has been shown to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety, while also triggering the release of dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” neurotransmitter.

Just like aromatherapy, music activates the limbic system and enhances mood regulation. Whether you're listening to an uplifting playlist with Sweet Orange or seeking calm with an acoustic track and Lavender, the combination of B Calm oils and music can help you manage stress, lift your mood, and find emotional balance.
