- Essential oils enter the body by two main routes – the nose and the skin.
- They enter and leave the body efficiently, leaving no toxins behind.
- Essential oils are taken directly into the blood stream; they have a positive effect on blood circulation, helping to bring oxygen and nutrients to the tissues whilst assisting in the disposal of carbon dioxide and other waste materials .
- The olfactory system, the nose-brain association, is the most direct connection we have with the environment or nature.
- We smell with every breath we take, constantly monitoring the world around us, although we are not always conscious that we are doing so.
- Our sense of smell is – approximately 10,000 times more sensitive than any other sensory organ we possess.
- Our nose-brain connection is very powerful. When we inhale an essential oil it affects the limbic part of our brain which is where our emotions and mood functions are seated.
- Aromas and memories are very strongly linked.
- Perhaps the smell of lavender will remind you of your favourite grandmother (or the grandmother you were not particularly fond of !)
- Whenever a smell, such as freshly baked bread, freshly ground coffee or a perfume that your mother wore, may evokes a memory.
- All the above happenings are because of the nose-brain connection.
