Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly concentrated, volatile liquids extracted from plants, capturing the plant's characteristic scent and flavor, or "essence". They are used in products ranging from aromatherapy and cosmetics to food flavoring and household cleaners
Aromatherapy is an alternative medicine practice that uses essential oils for therapeutic purposes, such as improving well-being and managing symptoms.
How it works: When inhaled, essential oil molecules travel from the olfactory nerves to the brain's limbic system, which controls emotions, memories, and behavior. This can result in changes in mood, stress levels, and other physiological functions.
Application methods: Common aromatherapy practices include diffusing the oils into the air, adding them to a carrier oil for massage, or using them in a bath.
