How Aromatherapy Works

The inhaled aroma from "essential" oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. The oils may activate certain areas of your brain, like your limbic system, which plays a role in your emotions. They could also have an impact on your hypothalamus, which may respond to the oil by creating feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can promote whole-body healing like joint and muscle pain. Some might say, this is a form of alternative medicine, and aromatherapy is gaining a lot of momentum especially with how people are opting for more natural homeopathic remedies.
