How Does Aromatherapy Work?

People respond to the sense of smell on an emotional level more strongly than any other sense. For example, a single aroma can trigger a whole string of forgotten memories. The area of the brain associated with smell is the same area as that associated with memory. The olfactory nerves are located within the nasal cavity and respond to particular aromas. They send the information to the part of the brain where memory and emotions lie. This area connects with another part of the brain (hypothalamus and pituitary gland) which governs our hormonal systems.

These aromas trigger a variety of chemical actions within the body, including the release of specific chemicals:

Enkephalin reduces pain and creates a feeling of well-being.
Endorphins also reduce pain and induce sexual feelings.
Serotonin helps relax and calm

Because the olfactory nerves are a direct extension of the brain's limbic system, reaction to smell is relayed immediately.

The essential oils also affect the body on a physical level. Each essential oil has distinct therapeutic properties that affect the body's natural functioning. These oils can possess any variety of stimulant, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory or relaxant properties.

In the professional practice of Aromatherapy, essential oils are applied in a variety of ways including massage, ointments, lotions, baths, liniments, compresses and inhalations. The holistic application of the oils is geared towards the needs of the individual. Aromatherapists are trained to recognize that each individual requires a unique blend of essences.

How Aromatherapy Can Help?

As we inhale the essential oils, there is a direct link to the limbic system of the brain via the olfactory nerve. This triggers the secretion of neurotransmitters such as seratonin or encephalins which relax or uplift the spirits.

Aromatherapy can thus help with stress management by a direct link to the limbic and autonomic system. The hypothalamus is the major control center of the autonomic nervous system. It controls the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions which activate the "fight or flight" adrenaline production.

Utilizing essential oils can balance the emotions and uplift the spirits
