Essential Oils - more than a pretty scent






Did you know that some scents can actually improve your health?

Essential oils can also help you relax or sleep, or improve your skin or digestion- these oils are much more than a pretty scent.
Essential oils can have a healing effect mentally, physically, and emotionally.

When you inhale the fragrance of an essential oil, the aroma penetrates your bloodstream through your lungs, and this is why aromatherapy is so effective.
Essential oils are also easily absorbed through your skin when applied topically. 
The fragrance also affects the limbic system in your brain, which controls both memories and emotions. 
Many essential oils have antibacterial, antifungal, and/or antiviral qualities and scientists are not only finding links between scents and human behavior, scents can actually influence the biochemistry of your nervous system.
