There are moments when we like a fast-beating heart! Like during a good workout, a heartfelt life moment, a rollercoaster, or a playful little jump-scare.

But…if you’re just climbing up the stairs, chasing after your little ones, or sitting down to have a snack, having a fast-beating heart can be distracting, painful, and worrisome!

Heart disease accounts for about 1 in 5 deaths in the United States. Nearly half of all adults suffer from hypertension. And heart attacks are increasing among the younger population.

Our hearts need help! And essential oils are here to give it! [1]

Essential Oils for Cardio Support

Below are suggestions to support the cardio system with essential oils. Design your own health protocol. I find ylang ylang very calming, when my heart rate seems to be racing out of the blue. When the body is stressed, even when we may not think that we are stressed the cells hold onto that stress from the cortisol hormone produced by the adrenal glands.
