How does aromatherapy work on the body?
Essential oils affect the senses in several ways. When we inhale aromatic molecules, they directly reach the limbic system in the brain, which is responsible for emotions, memory and mood. This is why scents have such a powerful effect on our mood and can put us in a state of deep relaxation or arousal.
In addition, during massages, essential oils are absorbed through the skin, allowing them to have a therapeutic effect on the physical level as well – relieving pain, promoting circulation, as well as anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.
