5 Ways That Naturopathic Medicine and Essential Oils Make Perfect Partners
1. Essential oils have immediate, multiple beneficial effects which simultaneously impact the emotions, body, and spirit. For example, they have been shown to help mitigate stress, balance mood, support the brain of those struggling with “mental illnesses,” and aid in recovery from substance use disorder. These characteristics are all in alignment with the naturopathic medicine principle to treat the whole person, not just their symptoms.
2. Their multi-factorial and synergistic properties work with the body and mind, rather than manipulating them. Essential oils are gentle, yet powerful, and guide the organ systems in a non-invasive way. This honors the naturopathic medicine principle to work with the healing power of nature.
3. Essential oils seamlessly fit into many wellness practices. This is based on the naturopathic principle to teach healthy living.
For example, some oils are stimulating and invigorating and assist with exercise performance. Several studies have reported how cardamom and peppermint oils can augment workouts by increasing attention and cardiorespiratory fitness. (source, source) These same oils can also be used to help with focus during the workday.
Other essential oils are calming. They can be used after a workout, if one is over-stimulated from the day, or stressed from project deadlines looming. Various combinations of oils can be used with meditation or simply diffused to soothe the nerves, support the body’s defenses and aid recovery from stress effects.
4. My naturopathic and functional medicine specialties are emotional and mental health, digestive wellness, and hormonal balance; therefore, using essential oils allows me to incorporate an intervention that not only addresses physiological imbalances, but often what precedes or co-occurs with them.
As they modulate neurotransmitters, essential oils also balance hormones, assist digestion, and enhance mood.They also combine well with the herbs and supplements that I also often suggest. Care should be taken with using them with certain medications, but often essential oils enhance prescription drugs’ positive effects and decrease their side effects.
5. Essential oils’ effects are based on biochemical individuality. This means everyone will respond differently to essential oils based on many distinct factors including: one’s own unique chemical makeup, detoxification capacities, genetic variances in enzymes, health status, and associations with a particular aroma. This makes essential oils a form of personalized medicine that is so essential to naturopathic treatment.
