Did You Know
Did you know that breathing in an aroma can trigger emotional and physical responses, often evoking vivid memories of people or places?
When we inhale aromatic molecules, they travel to the top of the nose and interact with nerve cells known as olfactory cells. The cells generate nerve impulses that travel to the limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for emotions, instincts, and survival.
Scientists believe that as these nerve signals pass through the limbic system, they can influence mood by altering brain chemistry, highlighting the powerful connection between scent and our emotional well-being.
When essential oils are inhaled, they are absorbed into the body through the respiratory system, offering a natural way to support overall wellness. Their antibacterial and antiviral properties make them particularly beneficial for maintaining a healthy respiratory system, helping to keep it clear and functioning optimally. Additionally, the soothing scents of certain oils can provide relief from seasonal sniffles and allergies, promoting easier breathing and enhanced comfort during allergy season.
On The Body
When essential oils are blended into a carrier base, such as grapeseed oil, a cream, or pure butter, they become safer and easier to apply directly to the skin. The carrier base helps dilute the concentrated essential oil, reducing the risk of skin irritation while still delivering its therapeutic benefits.
Once applied, they pass through the epidermis (the skin’s outer layer) to reach the dermis, where blood vessels absorb the molecules. From here, the essential oils circulate throughout the body via the bloodstream.
Many essential oils possess antibacterial properties, while others are antiviral, antifungal, or anti-inflammatory, making them versatile for various skincare and wellness needs. Additionally, their antioxidant content helps combat cell damage, protects against toxin buildup in skin cells, and reduces visible signs of aging.
Though most essential oil components are naturally excreted by the body within hours, primarily through the kidneys, their beneficial effects can last much longer in the tissues, promoting sustained support for overall health and well-being.
