5. Soothe Anxiety
People often confuse the symptoms of stress and anxiety. Stress is a natural biological response to an external stimulus. For instance, your boss tells you they need you for a meeting tomorrow, and you have to present it to clients. The stress from the request makes you feel uncertain and a bit on-the-edge, but it’s there for a purpose – to help improve your performance.
In most cases, stress fades away after the stressor subsides – the meeting goes well, and your boss tells you that you did a great job. However, anxiety is a very different animal – It’s a mental health disorder, not a stress response. This dysfunction occurs when the affected person starts to experience feelings of dread or malaise, with no apparent cause for the condition.
If left untreated, anxiety can create a host of adverse health complications, such as insomnia and panic attacks. Using vetiver oil can help soothe the symptoms of high-anxiety and calm the person down so that they don’t experience a full-blown panic attack.
