   :: How Does Aromatherapy Really Work?

  Inhalation - When you inhale a particular aroma the fragrant molecules travel through the olfactory   system to the limbic part of the brain. This is referred to as our old brain and is connected to our basic   drives, such as hunger, thirst, sleep and sex; it is also the link to memories and emotions. The natural   chemicals contained in the oils release carrier proteins and influence feelings and sensations in the body.   Essential Oils are able to by pass the blood/brain barrier and work almost instantly to; relax, stimulate,   arouse and produce a sense of well being in the body. Depending on the oil used, it is also possible to   reduce the sensation of pain.

  Skin Absorption - When essential oils are massaged into the skin (diluted into a carrier lotion or oil)
   they are absorbed through the capillaries into the bloodstream. They travel through the circulatory   system and lymphatic tissue until they reach the body's vital organs. This is how they help to cure many   aliments, including bacterial infections.
