Do you know why essential oils can influence your mood and emotions so quickly?
Research indicates that the skin, nose and brain communicate through a complex network of neurotransmitters and hormones. Scents can bypass the thought center of the thalamus and connect directly to the emotional center of the brain.
Inhalation of essential oils and bio-active plant compounds can stimulate areas of the brain to release “feel-good” neurotransmitters. These "chemical messengers" reduce the impact of stress hormones-increasing emotional well-being and reducing symptoms of pain, anxiety, stress, lethargy and low mood. Essential oils’ unique phytochemicals, derived from plants, are also small enough to be absorbed by the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream to support your overall health.
