In this episode of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy talks to environmental scientist and fellow ADHDer, Crystal Edmonds about positive emotion, the ADHD brain and essential oils.
Discover what Tracy turns to when she wakes up and feels unfocused, unmotivated and in negative emotion and what boosts her mood every single time. How about exercise and nature.
Learn how Tracy made the connection between scent and how scents not only influence her sense of well-being and happiness but also affect her focus.
Crystal shares with Tracy how essential oils stimulate the limbic system — a part of the brain involved in memory, behavior, motivation, and emotion and how this also helps with:
- ADHD symptoms
- Emotional dysregulation
- Rumination
- Rejection sensitive dysphoria
Discover why essential oils are a great place to start for relief from ADHD symptoms if medication doesn’t work for you.
Learn:
- how quickly essential oils take to work in your body
- which essential oils work well for ADHD
- why essential oils require trial and error just like medication
- what the difference is between high frequency and lower frequency vibration and how it affects our well-being.
