STEP 23 – STRESS AND BLOOD SUGAR

broken image

When we encounter stressful situations, our adrenal glands trigger a release of excessive amounts of glucose from our organs into our bloodstream. This allows the body to have readily available energy that may be needed for a lot of physical or mental activity.

But when this level of glucose is not needed in the bloodstream, it can lead to headaches, fatigue, blurred vision, trouble concentrating, excessive hunger, and can even lead to hypoglycemia.

If moderate to severe STRESS is experienced on a frequent basis, there could be too much glucose in the bloodstream, which will lead to these unpleasant side effects.

Essential Oils to the rescue once again! The following oils can be used to balance the level of glucose in the blood:

• Coriander

• Cassia

• Cinnamon

CINNAMON is a warm, spicy oil that has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels in the body. In addition, Cinnamon oil supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a healthy immune system when needed most—especially when seasonal threats are high.

Due to its high content of cinnamaldehyde, Cinnamon should be diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin; note also that only one to two drops are needed for internal benefits.

PRIMARY BENEFITS

• Supports healthy metabolic function.

• Maintains a healthy immune system.

• Long used to flavor food and for its internal health benefits.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

DIFFUSION: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
INTERNAL USE: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid or place two drops in a veggie capsule.
TOPICAL USE: Dilute one to two drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil then apply to desired area.
