The causes of nervous breakdown are not clearly identified, because it is a complex illness involving biological, psychological and environmental factors. For most psychological disorders, essential oils demonstrate surprising properties. However, a consultation with a doctor is strongly recommended.

L'shell Marjoram essential oil is the essential element of your anti-nervous depression synergy. It notably has an action at the level of the nervous system composed of the sympathetic nervous system and, its antagonist, the parasympathetic nervous system. Normal stimulation of the parasympathetic allows us to react to all of life's demands.
Abnormal stimulation, either excessive or permanent, produces an imbalance which constitutes parasympathicotonia. This can cause a nervous breakdown. The essential oil of Marjoram with shells is parasympathicotonic, it will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and fight against parasympathicotonia and thereby against nervous depression. Calming and powerful anxiolytic, due to its content of alcohols and monoterpene esters, it will soothe you and help you fight against anxiety and stress which can cause nervous breakdowns.
L’fragrant Verbena essential oil is rich in citrals, which give it a calming and sedative action on the central nervous system. It is a powerful antidepressant. It is effective in cases of sleep disorders which can contribute to the onset of a nervous breakdown. It is a key element of your anti-nervous depression synergy because it will reinforce the calming action of Shelled Marjoram essential oil. In addition, it is endocrine harmonizing: through its ability to be hormone-like, it will act on the cortico-adrenal axis which governs the production of hormones. As a result, it will regulate the secretion of hormones from the thyroid and pancreas, and thus fight against hormonal imbalances which can cause nervous breakdowns.
It is particularly necessary in this synergy because it contains limonene. This monoterpene will allow the release of monoamines, neurotransmitters of the central nervous system involved in neuromodulation. Monoamines are involved in particular in regulating mood and are in very low concentration in people who are depressed or suffering from mental disorders. The essential oil of Verbena, by stimulating the release of monoamines, will help fight against psychological disorders such as nervous breakdown. It also has an antinociceptive action. It will inhibit sensitivity to pain and therefore fight against nervous breakdowns of endogenous origin.
L'essential oil of Petit Grain Bigarade will help you cope with a nervous breakdown thanks to its neurotropic action. It is rich in linalyl acetate, which will allow it to specifically reach the nervous system. In addition, its high content of monoterpene alcohols makes it a powerful nervous rebalancing agent. It will help the nervous system to cope with repetitive stress which can cause nervous breakdowns.
It is not only calming and sedative of the nervous system, but it is also a mild antidepressant. It is particularly rich in linalool which has an antinociceptive action. It will therefore, within this synergy, reinforce the action of the essential oil of Fragrant Verbena by also inhibiting sensitivity to pain. Combined with the essential oils of Shelled Marjoram and Fragrant Verbena, Petit Grain Bigarade essential oil will help you get out of a depressive episode.
