Delving into the Science behind Aromatherapy and Essential Oils
Aromatherapy uses natural plant extracts, specifically essential oils, to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The science behind aromatherapy lies in the powerful therapeutic properties of essential oils, which are highly concentrated oils extracted from various plants, flowers, roots, and resins.
Essential oils work through the olfactory system, which is connected to the limbic system in our brain, the area responsible for emotions, memories, and behaviour. When inhaled, the molecules in essential oils stimulate the olfactory receptors in the nose, sending signals to the brain that can have a direct impact on mood, stress levels, and overall health.
Different essential oils have unique chemical compositions that give them specific therapeutic properties. For example, lavender oil is known for its calming and relaxing effects, while peppermint oil is invigorating and can help with mental clarity and focus.
Whether we are seeking a moment of tranquillity or a gentle lift in spirits, essential oils provide a gentle and effective way to nurture our well-being.
