Being an active duty military member and having deployed overseas a few times, I know several members who suffer from stress disorders following traumatic events and I am very much aware of the effects. Everyone suffering from stress manages their symptoms in their own way but Young Living makes an essential oil kit that can assist in reducing stress symptoms. The kit contains two oil collections - Freedom Sleep and Freedom Release.
The Freedom Sleep collection includes Freedom, AromaSleep, Inner Harmony, and Valor. The collection helps to re-establish positive energy flow throughout the body and helps you relax and calm your thoughts and feelings before going to sleep.
The Freedom Release collection includes Freedom, Divine Release, Joy, Transformation and T.R. Care. These oils help bring a sense of balance and harmony and promotes forgiveness. They also have remove feelings of anger and elevating the mind for a positive outlook on life.
Some other oils that can help with stress include Inner Child, Forgiveness, Trauma Life, Lavender and Peace and Calming.
While essential oils will not completely rid a person of stress, they help alleviate some of the symptoms that effect people suffering with stress. I have heard many, many stories from and about stress sufferers who have used essential oils to enhance their life. A quick search in Google will show you the incredible results from using oils.
