“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 DietJust as your cell phone or … 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!

This Self-Help Resource Book is Truly Worth its Weight in Gold!
In June after attending the online workshop, “Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Essential Oils” presented by Jodi Cohen, I preordered Ms. Cohen’s 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 you’re 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 body’s 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. It’s truly worth its weight in gold!
This truly is a user-friendly guide, also for “beginners” in the field of essential oils, I can only highly recommend to anyone who feels drawn to essential oils and also is eager to look deeper into the matter and the science behind it.
My main motivation to look more intensive into this topic was my personal experience with not being able to shift my nervous system into the parasympathetic state anymore “just naturally”. Besides grounded bodywork my affinity to essential oils helped me a lot – but I didn’t really know then why the oils helped me, I just applied them intuitively through smelling and applying on neck and temples. Could also simply have been a placebo effect, right?
Well, now I do know why they helped and I also know many more ways and areas of application, some of which I would have never thought of myself. Like addressing specific organ systems via applying oils to the reflexology points of the feet and the outer ears. What a great possibility to support any medical treatment ourselves!
I highly recommend the chapter on the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic state to anyone who is suffering from pressure and stress in everyday life or even trauma – whatever symptoms may show up, I think it is definitely worth a try. For me it was citrus (bergamot) and eucalypt oil, which helped me getting out of the “freeze mode” and into healing my vagus nerve.
Looking on environmental impacts, essential oils can even support detoxification and dealing with adrenal fatigue, who would have thought, essential oils can be of support here, too?
And one very good thing, also: you do not have to order any specific blends as Jodi Cohen even provides the recipes, thus enabling everyone around the globe to mix their own.
Thank you Jodi Cohen for sharing your rich and very profound insights into the world of essential oils.
I have enjoyed reading this book! I have used essential oils for 20 years and have read many books and articles about them. I work with physiotherapy and functional neurology and I have tried to connect the dots on aromatherapy and the brain for the past years. Jodis book did that for me. Her book is not just on the use of essential oils, it gives you a thorough but easy to understand lesson on the brain and the nervous system.
I am so happy about this book, because it really gives a great explanation on why and how the oils work. There are many great books on essential oils and emotions and the more spiritual benefits of using the oils. This book gives you a deeper dive into the rationale why they work. It is actually not magic. It is neurophysiology and that is what makes this book so interesting and different.
If you want to understand your own nervous system better and understand how you calm stress and inflammation and other conditions you will be happy to read this book.
And you get som really amazing recipes in the book!
