Essential Oils
are an excellent way to help promote healing and health
Aromatherapy
essential oils are aromatic in nature. Their aromas can elicit powerful physiologic, mental, and emotional responses. Diffusing essential oils is beneficial for affecting mood, killing airborne pathogens, meditation, the processing and release of emotions. It creates a targeted approach for relaxing or stimulating the mind and the body.
Topical Application
essential oils are also volatile, meaning that they evaporate quickly and are rapidly absorbed into the body. When applied directly to the skin they can help encouage the body to heal.
Symphony of the Cells
is meant to bring physical, mental and emotional harmony to the body, by applying several certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils in a specific order. Each oil focuses on a specific system and/or area of the body. Stacking the oils allows for a more potent treatment than if they were applied individually.
How are essential oils aromatically processed by the brain?
Essential oils quickly and rapidly absorbed into the body. The olfactory system conveys aromas to the brain by smelling.
When a person inhales an essential oil, the molecules of oil go up into the back of each nostril to the postage-sized epithelium patch. There the molecules attach to receptors on the cilia hairs, which convert to nerves on the other side of the mucous patch. These nerves send the odor information to the olfactory bulb in the brain. This means the essential oil itself is not sent to the brain, but instead a neutral translation or message of the complex chemistry it contains is delivered. Millions of nerves enter the olfactory bulb, which communicates directly with the amygdala, hippocampus, and other brain structures.
The emotional connection
The amygdala, a center for emotions in the limbic system, links our sense of smell to our ability to learn emotionally. Here, aromatic information is connected to the emotions of the situation. This capacity to pair the two, information and emotions, is inextricably connected to our survival ability, making essential oils a powerful partner in creating and maintaining emotional health. Inhalation of essential oils is also received through the alveoli of the lungs and, from there, into the blood stream.
Diffusing essential oils is beneficial for affecting mood, killing airborne pathogens, meditation, the processing of emotions and emotional release. It creates a targeted approach for relaxing or stimulating the mind, and, or the body. It is also one of the most effective ways to impact respiratory conditions.
An important element of aromatherapy is synergy, which is the combination of numerous essential oils that can actually create a more powerful effect than the oils would have on their own. This is why blending essential oils is such an important area of study for alternative healers since the range of possibilities is almost endless. This synergy is also used and is the base for our SOTC treatment.
