How Do They Work?
Essential oils are the true living essence of the plant. They are 50 – 60 times more powerful than the dried herb/plant parts. Essentials oil protect, defend, and repair any cellular damage. Be sure to use only pure 100% therapeutic grade essential oils. These are not the same as scents or fragrance oils.
When essential oils are diffused in a room, the essential oil is sent directly to the center of the brain, via the olfactory bulb, to the limbic system where it is processed and releases neurochemicals that can be relaxing, stimulating, sedative, etc. depending on the essential oil being used.
An essential oil when applied topically travels through our body system within minutes. Typically about 26 seconds. They are powerful healing tools and within a 3 to 6 hour window they are also expelled through the body. Meaning for maximum healing benefit they must be reapplied every 3 – 6 hours.
