Pulse points for essential oil

Using essential oils on pulse points is a great way to reap their many benefits. Pulse points are locations on the body where the blood vessels lie close to the surface of the skin. Applying essential oils to these points amplifies the therapeutic benefits and helps them to be absorbed into the bloodstream quicker. 

Where to apply essential oil for stress?

Essential oils are a natural remedy that can help to ease stress and improve sleep quality. Applying essential oils to the body is a great way to relax and relieve stress. There are several places where essential oils can be applied to help reduce stress and improve sleep. 

The most popular pulse points are located on the neck, chest, elbow, wrist and temples. Applying essential oils to the neck is beneficial as the blood vessels in this area are close to the skin, and the neck is very sensitive to touch. The neck is also a great place to apply oils as it is an area that can be easily reached. 

The shoulders is a great place to apply essential oils for stress relief. This area is known to hold a lot of tension and stress, so applying essential oils can help to relax the muscles and ease any tension. The chest is also a popular pulse point as it is an area that responds quickly to the oils. Applying essential oils to the chest helps to open up the airways and promote better breathing.  

The feet are one of the best places to apply essential oils for stress relief. Applying essential oils to the feet can help to soothe the mind and body and can also help to improve sleep quality. Massage oils into the feet, concentrating on the soles and toes. It is recommended to use a carrier oil such as almond or coconut oil to dilute the essential oil and help it absorb into the skin. 

Another great place to apply essential oils is the temples. Applying essential oils to the temples is known to help relax the mind and body, which can help to induce sleep. Massage a few drops of the essential oil into the temples and forehead in a gentle, circular motion. Applying essential oils to the temples is also beneficial as it helps to reduce stress.

The elbow is another great pulse point that is often overlooked. Applying essential oils to the elbow can help to stimulate the lymphatic system and boost the immune system. The wrist is also a great place to apply essential oils as it is a sensitive area that absorbs the oils quickly. Applying the oil to the inside of the wrists can help to stimulate the senses and reduce stress. Massage a few drops of the oil into the skin, concentrating on the pressure points. 

Essential oils can be a great natural remedy to ease stress and improve sleep quality. Applying essential oils to the feet, temples, wrists, neck and shoulders can help to reduce stress, relax the mind and body, and improve sleep quality. Make sure to always use a carrier oil when diluting the essential oil and be sure to massage the oils into the skin for best results.

Applying essential oils to pulse points is a great way to reap their many benefits. The most popular pulse points are located on the neck, chest, elbow, wrist and temples. Applying essential oils to these areas helps to stimulate the lymphatic system, open up the airways and promote relaxation.
