How Essential Oils Work

"When you sniff an essential oil, some of the molecules of the oil actually enter your nostrils and dissolve in your olfactory epithelium (the mucus-y tissue at the top of your nasal cavity).  Those molecule stimulate receptors take the information to your olfactory cortex, where the perception of the smell is processed.  This is the point at which you recognize what it is you are smelling.

But something else happens when you inhale an airborne essential oil:  The signals from your olfactory receptors are transmitted to other parts of the brain, including the amygdala and hippocampus.  The amygdala and hippocampus govern emotion, memory, learning and behavior.  

This is why certain scents have an impact on your emotions and it is the reason why aromatherapy is so effective - it works by triggering these parts of your brain.  Smelling certain essential oils can change the way you feel almost instantly.  In fact, research shows that everything from nausea, stress, and insomnia to anxiety disorders, dementia symptoms and high blood pressure can be positively affected by inhaling airborne essential oils."
