The Science of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy works by stimulating the olfactory bulb, a region of the brain responsible for processing smells. When we inhale essential oils, their molecules bind to receptors in the olfactory bulb, triggering a cascade of physiological and emotional responses.

Research has shown that aromatherapy can have a variety of effects on the body and mind, including:

• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Promoting relaxation and sleep
• Boosting mood and energy levels
• Relieving pain and inflammation
• Improving skin health
• Supporting the immune system

Choosing and Using Essential Oils

Not all essential oils are created equal. It's important to choose high-quality, pure essential oils from reputable sources to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

When using essential oils, there are several methods of application:

• Inhalation: Diffusing essential oils into the air, using a diffuser or inhaler.
• Topical application: Diluting essential oils in a carrier oil (such as jojoba or coconut oil) and applying them to the skin.
• Internal use: Some essential oils, such as peppermint and tea tree oil, can be taken internally in small doses (under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional).

Essential Oils for Every Occasion

The world of essential oils is vast, with over 100 different oils to choose from. Each oil has its own unique properties and benefits, making it suitable for a variety of purposes.
