WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INHALE ESSENTIAL OILS?

How do you benefit from inhaling Essential Oils? When we inhale through the nose, airborne molecules interact with the olfactory organs and, almost immediately, the brain. When inhaled, smell molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system which is referred to as the "emotional brain." The limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance. 

"When diffused into the air and inhaled, they bind to smell receptors and stimulate the central nervous system," says Joie Power, PhD, a neuropsychologist and aromatherapist who has taught nurses how to use the oils for decades.


Many hospitals use aromatherapy now. Molecules inhaled get to the lungs and interact with your circulatory system also, going throughout your body. Essential oils can help bring about fundamental changes in physical, mental and emotional well-being by triggering, and strengthening our bodies’ own natural responses.

Inhalation can be the most direct method of delivery for the healing components in essential oils. Through the nasal cavity, the chemical messengers have direct access to the brain and can go straight to work on the systems that moderate the entire body.
