Easing Depression and Anxiety with Crystals and Essential Oils

In life, we can face lots of challenges. Personally, I have struggled with anxiety and stress since I was a teenager. Being from a culture that sees depression and anxiety as taboo and not a real illness, my family choose not to talk about it and didn't accept the challenges I faced in my daily life. As an adult, and a mum, I was diagnosed with severe post natal depression.

One thing I am certain of is that I can not change my past nor can I change the belief system of my elders, but I can change present time not just for myself but for my daughter as well. Since my daughter was 3 months old I have been her mother and her father, and I know that I have the power to change and remove generational trauma and beliefs instilled upon me, so I choose to embrace the ups and downs that come with anxiety and depression and talk about it with my daughter.

A few things that I found really helped ease my depression and anxiety were essential oils and crystals.

I know this might surprise a lot of people but I was first introduced to essential oils and crystals by my psychiatrist, and at the time I thought that she had gone crazy in recommending them. I thought it wouldn't hurt me its just a rock anyway and some smelly stuff so I thought I would try the rose quartz and lithium quartz with the essential oil blends. Oh my god I am so glad I tried it! Until this day I swear by the use of essential oil blends, rose quartz and lithium quartz. 

I have tried many blends and brands over the last 4 years. My holy grail blends to go to is by a local Aussie business Wilde Blends which I highly recommend. My 3 holy grail essential oil blends are clarity blend, loved blend, and focus blend.
