How does Aromatherapy work?
Essential Oil's affect on the Limbic System
The Limbic System includes both brain hemispheres and directly affects:
- Endocrine System (hormones, adrenaline, etc.)
- Autonomic Nervous System (digestion, respiration, heart rate, etc.)
- Emotion
- Behavior
- Motivation
- Learning
Aromatherapy is an excellent choice for treating the Limbic System for a few reasons:
1. Results are immediate and consistent.
In Aromatherapy, the medicinal oil goes directly to the Limbic System's receptors
without being altered by the digestive system.
2. Essential oils are easily accessible to everyone.
No prescriptions, doctor's visits, pharmacy lines, etc.
3. Easy to use
Just open the oil bottle and inhale! Or diffuse them, place a drop on your pillow, etc.
4. Appropriate for ages 0-200
Aromatherapy is gentle...it's used for everyone from newborns to centenarians.
5. No harmful side effects
In fact, the side effects are healthful! Essential oils oxygenate the cells, supporting a healthy immune system.
