Confidence
Extreme lack of confidence is a mental/emotional ailment that can have a wide range of physical manifestations and symptoms. There are a large number of essential oils that directly affect the brain, both in the hippocampus and in the amygdala, and so can be used to improve confidence. The inhaling of pleasant aromas, such as those of essential oils, is a very calming exercise, which eases tensions and anxieties, which in this way can ameliorate some of the causes of lack of confidence or other mood disorders.
Those who suffer from a chronic lack of self-confidence will often experience other physical and mental ill effects. Aromas have a huge effect on mood, and so aromatherapy can be extremely effective in creating feelings of confidence and lifted mood. Essential oils can directly affect the hippocampus and amygdala areas of the brain, so inhaling certain oils can create pleasant feelings and decreased tensions. The particular oils associated with feelings of confidence include cypress, fennel, ginger, grapefruit, jasmine, orange and pine.
These can be inhaled through use of a diffuser, combined with carrier oils to create massage or bath oils, or applied topically to pressure points to provide a more immediate lift in mood. Energy-boosting oils will also help with lack of confidence, as increased energy helps to restore and maintain confidence; citrus oils in particular are extremely uplifting, and also help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can lead to loss of confidence.
