What is your go-to remedy? Would you consider aromatherapy? Our gut has a huge impact on our overall well-being. We often refer to our digestive system as our second brain because, although it won’t sort out our accounts or decide what to cook for dinner , it does use the same chemicals as the brain to work out when it is not working properly. As soon as our gut is not working efficiently we can feel sluggish, lethargic, experience headaches, feel anxious, poor sleep, even our pain levels can increase. Many of our gut imbalances are caused by stress. Of course, certain foods can affect our digestive enzymes, but stress can cause the the body to produce more cortisol. The increased level of cortisol causes the blood circulation to divert away from the gut to the muscles (ready for fight or flight response), reduces a chemical which protects the stomach lining from the acid (increasing chance of stomach ulcers developing), slows down digestion (constipation) or a sudden need to evacuate (diarrhoea) meaning you are not absorbing nutrients sufficiently, and because 70% of your immunity is regulated by the gut you are more likely to succumb to infections. Aromatherapy works in 2 main ways: through the use of specific combinations of essential oils which, by inhaling, works on the brain to balance the digestive system, and by massage which relaxes stress from the body and allows the essential oils to absorb through the skin into the bloodstream and get carried to the gut to rebalance itself. I am currently taking FEMALE clients only, or male relatives of current clients.
