Scent and the Limbic System
We eat plants for their nutritional and medicinal properties, so that they may nourish and heal our physical bodies. We apply plant base creams, butters, ointment, and salves to heal and beautify our skin. We even place decorative flowers and plants in our environments for their natural beauty and ambience. But what about plants' aromatic abilities and how the inhalation of these scents can deeply affect us?Upon inhalation of our artfully crafted essential oil blends, the scent is absorbed by the 100 million olfactory receptors located inside your nostrils. These receptors then send the plant chemical compounds to the olfactory bulbs located at the base of the brain which then communicate directly with the limbic system, this connection is known as the olfactory-limbic pathway. The limbic system is known as our emotional center and is directly involved with our emotions, motivation, learning, and memory. The limbic system also, interacts with other brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex which governs higher cognitive functions influencing social behavior, impulse control, focus, decision making, etc., and the amygdala Involved in emotional processing, particularly with responses like fear, pleasure, and emotional memories. The direct connection allows smells to trigger strong emotional responses. Anoint yourself and allow earth's greatest healing powers to influence and harmonize your well being, life force and the deepest layers of your soul.
One drop of an essential oil on your skin will be present in every cell of the body within twenty minutes.
Applying the oils to acupressure points creates a powerful synergy between our uniquely designed energetic bodies and the plants' ancient magical compounds.
Therapeutic Grade Vs. Cosmetic Grade
We only use therapeutic grade essential oils in our blends. Therapeutic grade essential oils are quite rare and defined by how the plants are grown, the methods used to extract the oil and its purity. Cosmetic grade essential oil, which is most commonly used, are not intended for healing purposes due to the fact that they are adulterated with chemical additives rendering them ineffective, chemically unbalanced, and even toxic.
