“A powerful new cutting-edge and evidence-based approach to help you safely improve digestion, energy, and focus and reverse chronic inflammation, chronic stress, and mood disorders.”—Terry Wahls, MD, author of The Wahls Protocol
“A book you will learn from and refer back to for years to come.”—Alan Christianson, New York Times bestselling author of The Thyroid Reset Diet
Just as your cell phone or laptop slows down and drains the battery when too many tabs are left open, your brain fatigues when poorly functioning systems or ailments drain its energy. Complaints of brain fog, fatigue, and ADD/ADHD are on the rise and growing every year. All of these factors can block the brain’s ability to detoxify and heal. If toxins are not eliminated, they recirculate in the brain, leading to inflammation, which further compromises your brain. What’s more, formal diagnoses of brain-related health challenges like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS are increasing exponentially. Here’s the good news: Plant-based essential oils are a powerful self-care tool for transforming your life and healing on many levels, even when prescription drugs have failed.
In Jodi Cohen’s five-step protocol, the body’s natural systems are jump-started with essential oil recipe blends that can:
• Alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression
• Improve sleep
• Calm pain and inflammation
• Increase energy, sharpen focus, and improve memory
• Improve digestion and promote weight loss
• Strengthen your immune system
Armed with Cohen’s five steps, you’ll be able to start your own essential oils regimen immediately and be on your way to a healthier body and brain!
From the Publisher
Anti-Inflammatory Blend
This blend includes a combination of oils known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Use this blend neat or diluted to your preference with a carrier oil. Research on ginger essential oil found it prevented chronic joint inflammation. Ginger helps bring heat and stimulates circulation, which helps calm inflammation and pain. Research suggests that the limonene present in grapefruit helps to reduce inflammation and regulate the production of inflammatory cytokines.
How To Apply
Gently massage 2 or 3 drops around the back of the scalp and neck to support your blood-brain barrier. You can also apply clockwise around your belly button to support gut healing or over any injured area of your body to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
When To Apply
To aid with pain, inflammation, leaky gut and migraines, apply 2 to 3 times daily or as needed for pain.
Ingredients: 8 drops each of dill and ginger oils 10 drops of frankincense oil 5 drops each of grapefruit, tarragon, and ylang-ylang oils 8 drops dill
Focus Blend
Focus Blend Basil has a high linalool content to help sharpen your memory, improve concentration and promote a sense of focus. The cardamom helps to lift your mood and alleviate mental fatigue, while the rosemary and peppermint are highly stimulating and help to boost your focus and energy levels, both mentally and physically. Research from the University of Cincinnati found that inhaling peppermint oil increases mental accuracy by 28 percent. Similarly, rosemary helps your brain and memory work at top form.
How To Apply
Apply a dab directly over your temples and on the back of your neck.
When To Apply
As needed for concentration. Note: Your olfactory (nose) channel travels directly to your frontal lobe, so smelling oils through different nostrils can help to activate and balance different hemispheres of your brain.
Ingredients: 6 drops of basil oil 2 drops of cardamom oil 8 drops each of peppermint and rosemary oils

This Self-Help Resource Book is Truly Worth its Weight in Gold!
In June 2020, after attending the online workshop, âVagus Nerve Stimulation with Essential Oilsâ presented by Jodi Cohen, I preordered Ms. Cohenâs text, Essential Oils to Boost the Brain and Heal the Body: 5 Steps to Calm Anxiety, Sleep Better, and Reduce Inflammation to Regain Control of Your Health.Whether you are someone like me who is at the cusp of 62 years of age, or if you a young woman in your 30s dealing with uterine fibroids, or perhaps youâre someone who is trying to heal the lingering effects in your body months after contracting COVID19, I think you will welcome the opportunity to read this volume. This new self-help guide has arrived on the scene, just at the right moment.Living with the unpredictability of a worldwide pandemic, many of us have devoted countless hours trying to improve our health and/or finding ways to assist our friends and loved ones. This has resulted in our investing a disproportionate amount of time attempting to navigate the myriad of ways to heal our immune systems, while at the same time, seeking ways to calm our nervous systems, especially given the intensity of this anxiety we have collectively been experiencing. This is precisely why this text could not have been published at a more opportune time, thankfully presenting its material in a well-researched and concise manner, addressing these two critically important interconnected health concerns.I have personally benefited from the use of essential oils blends in balancing/supporting my own health. At the same time, I have sought effective ways to help family members and friends seeking to improve their health utilizing aromatherapy. This book presents ways to incorporate the use of targeted essential oil blends, attacking specific health needs, while at the same time it presents information on implementing and/or improving diet and lifestyle practices to strengthen the components of the bodyâs immune system.The research presented in this guide helps to illuminate the qualities of the oils individually, how these oils perform individually, how they interact when combined with other essential oils forming synergistic essential oil blends, and how and when to apply the blends in the most effective manner. Benefits, as well as important safety precautions of essential oils and blends, are also presented in a user-friendly format. This information is presented in the context of strengthening components of the immune system such as the parasympathetic nervous system, the endocrine system, and the hypothalamus, among others, shedding on light on ways to balance and support these key components leading to good health.The text concludes with a 5-step regimen that can help most people recover and restore their health. The information that Jodi Cohen has packed into this must read text is amazing. Itâs truly worth its weight in gold!

She puts it all together
I’ve been committed to natural medicine for many years, with my goal being to provide my body with what it needs to heal and balance by eating well and avoiding toxins and using noninvasive natural remedies. I have two degrees in Biology and am an avid reader on natural health topics. I have long been fond of essential oils, having used YL and dT and Mel’s, but I never really had an approach to using them proactively; instead, I’d use them now and then, muscle testing for a specific purpose. I tend to be very analytical and need a framework for incorporating an activity or solution into my health regimen, and although I had read a number of works on essential oils, I still lacked a way of thinking about them that allowed an ‘aha’, giving me a way to incorporate them fully and proactively into my health regimen.This book provided what was missing in my understanding of essential oils, so that I now have the confidence to use oils to create better health. The author helps you understand the function of major organ systems and how they interconnect and how essential oils can be used to create optimal balance and function, supporting the interconnections and enhancing their function for good health. I found this book to be tremendously compelling and informative for a natural approach to health.I highly recommend this book to those who help others and those who are serious about helping themselves with essential oils. This book will give you the foundation for understanding and even explaining how and why essential oils work. The author refers to many scientific studies, giving it further believability, if that’s the kind of thing that matters to you. You don’t need to have a degree in Biology to understand it; she explains things very clearly and is easy to understand, providing many diagrams and pictures for visual learners. She helps connect the dots between the action of various organs and systems and provides many tips, recipes and useful advice for becoming proactive about your health using whatever brand of good essential oils you use.This book has given me the confidence I needed and the framework for using essential oils proactively for my health. I have ordered her parasympathetic blend and await its arrival. And as someone who is a veteran of muscle testing, I will now be more confident to formulate blends specifically for my own use, as that is how she got involved in using oils for her health.If you are drawn to essential oils but don’t quite know how to incorporate them into your health regimen, this book could be the key to opening a door to a new level of health.

Chock Full of Valuable Info & A Beautiful Book
The book arrived quickly and as soon as the package was opened, I was struck by itâs beautiful hardcover image. The pages are of a high quality nature and Iâm liking the page thickness. Images within the book are lovely, too.The author divulges a lot of educational material on organs and body systems. Way more interesting than my high school biology class! Finally, after reading this Iâm able to connect the dots on why my menopause years caused weight gain DESPITE regular exercise and consuming a decent diet of juicing, organic produce, and lots of celery sticks and carrots. The author shares information that every middle aged woman who has a meno-belly and cellulite that gets worse each year no matter how itâs tackled with seemingly positive lifestyle habits.Anyhow, Iâm developing new care routine habits using oils knowledge and recipes that are given in this book. Itâs well-written, great quality and tells the truth about energy interconnections and organ health. My sleep has been fantastic since applying oils to stimulate my parasympathetic system and, Iâll admit, the gentle massage feels like soothing self-care that Iâve denied my body all these years. Usually up 3-4 times a night but now am sleeping solid through the entire night.Wish Iâd known all this decades ago! Highly recommend this book and follow her social media if interested in more educational tips.

I just love this book, it’s everything I wanted in a book, easy knowledge to acknowledge without big Latin names and things. I think Jodi did an excellent job on this book, I haven’t finished it yet but I’m excited to dive in to it as soon as I can. Their’s detailed graphs, illustrations and recipes in this book which makes it easy to understand and makes for good reading. I can’t wait to start applying oils and expand my horizons since I’m just getting to know my essential oils, such a great beginning to start my healing journey, thank you Jodi

ich beschäftige mich seit Jahren mit ätherischen Ãlen und ihren natüröliche Heilkräften und hatte schon einige Bücher über ätherische Ãle gelesen. Dieses bringt die sehr komplexen und umfangreichen Informationen gut strukturiert auf den Punkt. Das funktioniert beim Leser anz ohne Chemiestudium und trotzdem wissenschaftlich fundiert. Teil1 beleuchtet die Ursache(n) unseres Krankseins, im wesentlichen ein völlig überfordertes vegetatives Nervensystem, das vor allem im “Erholungsbereich” erschöpft ist, was eben viele Baustellen und Symptome (und ggf. viele Diagnosen und Therapien) nach sich zieht. Der Leser lernt in einfachen Erklärungen viel über dieses parasympathische Nervensystem. In 5 Schritten erfährt der Leser nicht nur etwas über seinen “Erholungsnerv”, sondern auch über die anderen wichtigen Hirnfunktionen (Schlaf, Entgiftung, Energiehaushalt, Stimmungen, Stress, Ãbergewicht). Teil 2 geht ans konkrete Ãberwinden der Störungen, mit der gleichen übersichtlichen Gliederung aus Teil1. So kann jeder dort beginnen, wo es ihm am besten paÃt.Ich empfehle dieses Buch allen meinen (englischlesenden) Patienten, die sich für Heilung aus der Naturapotheke – sprich mit ätherischen Ãlen – interessieren. Ich wünsche Jodi und ihrem Buch eine begeisterte Leserschaft und eine baldige Ãbersetzung ins Deutsche.

I had the opportunity to interview Jodie for my podcast and I could have spent hours talking about all the science behind it. There is so much information in the book which explains the physiology and how it all ties together that people can easily gloss over how much valuable information is in there.There is so much information in the book and it can easily be glossed over thinking that you know the information. Jodie was a fascinating guest and I will love to have her back. The information about lymphatic system and vagus nerve was an eye opener to me. I have always been a fan of functional movement and exercise as well as stretching and breathing this explains why I am able to feel more comfortable doing my breathing method after doing vagus nerve activation. The information about how blockages and inflammation negatively affect health was surprising.The improvements I am going to make with regards to essential oils is something I am looking for., I could never understand why oil pulling was so beneficial and this has cemented why these techniques are so important and easy to follow.I have had TMJ due to a physical injury and have resolved this with stretching and training to realign the body but it took me a while. I am seriously a big fan of this book and plan on having Jodie back as a guest or even as a guest in my Clubhouse club.This book has more to reveal and there is a bonus which is also in the podcast episode.

This book is one of the best I’ve read on essential oils and how to use them in a therapeutic way. It’s beautifully written, clear, accessible, and easily understood. Ms. Cohen presents the science behind why and how essential oils work to assist in our body’s natural healing abilities and has presented the information in a way that is easy to understand and easily implemented. The book is a wonderful guide, full of practical applications that are backed by solid science. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to support their own body’s natural healing abilities. I’m so glad I bought it!
