Grief is more than just an emotional experience - it can also manifest physically, particularly in the lungs. In many healing traditions, grief is believed to be energetically stored in the lungs, which can lead to feelings of tightness, shortness of breath, or even a sense of heaviness in the chest.
To support both your lung health and the emotional release of grief, essential oils like Eucalyptus and Thyme can be incredibly beneficial.
- Eucalyptus: Known for its ability to open up the airways, Eucalyptus helps to clear stuffiness and promote deep, cleansing breaths. Its fresh, invigorating scent can also help lift the heaviness associated with grief, allowing for easier emotional release.
- Thyme: This powerful oil supports respiratory health by helping to clear and cleanse the lungs. Thyme is also known for its grounding properties, which can provide emotional strength during difficult times.
How to Use:
- Diffuse: Add 3 drops of Eucalyptus and 2 drops of Thyme to your diffuser to support lung health and emotional release.
- Steam Inhalation: Inhale steam with a few drops of each oil to clear the lungs and ease tension.
- Topical Application: Apply diluted oils to your chest for direct support.
These practices can help you breathe easier, both physically and emotionally, as you work through grief.
