ESSENTIAL MINUTE | BERGAMOT
When we experience trauma, it makes our nervous system go haywire and when this system is not balanced, we can easily go into our fight or flight or freeze modes quickly. Our first step is to try reconnect and sooth this system so we don’t get stuck in those extremes.
Bergamot is one of the essential oils that can help with that. This scent allows us to help balance and regulate our nervous system. With it being in the citrus family, it allows us to be uplifted and even out our moods.
You can throw this in the diffuser, smell out of the bottle, or create your own rollerblend so you can use it anytime anywhere when you feel like you need extra support for your nervous system.
