- both physical and emotional -

The first time I realized the correlation, between stress and pain, was in my early 20s. I was having an intense discussion about work drama when debilitating nerve pain began to suddenly shoot down my leg.
My high-stress job was literally PAINING me! I was waking up on Sundays already DREADING Mondays AND I had shooting nerve pain almost daily. Something that used to bother me occasionally was now affecting EVERY area of my life.
Stress induced inflammation... pressing on my sciatic nerve.
I made changes + took care of myself by reducing stressors... changing jobs was first on the list.
I also needed to learn healthy ways to support my body through stressful times.
When i'm stressed, my focus + patience is shot, i'm overly sensitive + my body begins to hurt.
My natural solution? Oils for EVERYTHING.
