What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that involves using therapeutic scents, such as essential oils, to promote healing and balance within the body, mind & soul.

How does aromatherapy work?

Aromatherapy typically works in two different ways; through inhalation or topical application. 

Inhalation works by inhaling a scent through your nose, allowing for molecules from the essential oils to bind to olfactory cells. This causes your olfactory receptors to send signals to your brain (Limbic System), stimulate the amygdala (emotional processing) and hippocampus (memories), which as a result, can trigger both psychological and physiological reactions such as boosted mood, sedation or relaxtion, increased focus, etc.

Topical Application works by applying a single essential oil or a blend to your skin, which gets directly absorbed into the bloodstream. Topical application oftentimes can provide a more invigorating physical response for ailments such as headaches or muscle tension, but also provides aromatic benefit as well.

Have you ever smelled something that reminded you of your favorite person or place and instantly flooded your mind with feelings of joy, nostalgia or magic?

That would be aromatherapy!

Your limbic system actually bypasses the thalamus (relay station of your brain) and instead, routes molecules straight to the hippocampus and amygdala for immediate processing. This sequence makes aromatherapy especially powerful for unlocking memories, shifting your mood and cognitive function.
