Emotional Balance - why you should be using oils daily

Essential oils can and should be used in the diffuser for all mental, emotional and spiritual life issues. It can also support physical health problems. So it's best to use them daily for optimal health.

Think of essential oils like a dietary supplement. When you use this, you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to function properly. While there are naturally differences in use from person to person, it is generally believed that the use of essential oils is an important key to achieving the results you want. So integrate the oils into your daily life and support your body, mind and soul in a very natural and safe way.

Diffusing Oils

You can use essential oils aromatically, on the skin or internally. That depends on the properties of each individual oil. Almost any oil or mixture of oils can be used in a diffuser. Diffusing an oil helps us to use its most distinct property - the smell and the aroma. If you delve into the role smell plays in our lives, you can learn to understand the effects of essential oils on a deeper level. So always choose the essential oil that brings you the greatest benefit at that moment: physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.

The Power of fragrance

Our sense of smell is one of our strongest senses, and you have probably noticed that some scents are more positively associated in you mind than others. Some you like and others you dislike. Your body contains over 1,000 receptors for smell - more receptors than for any other sense. Our olfactory system can recognise thousands of smells. By atomising essential oils right in the air, we can influence our feelings and emotions.

With every breath we take in, different scents and smells can trigger feelings and awaken memories. The scent molecules reach the olfactory mucosa via the air we breathe through the nose, mouth and throat in only 20 seconds. There are around 10 million olfactory cells with innumerable receptors. Everyone has 350 types of receptors, each type being responsible for a specific odour molecule. For example, the aroma of lavender contains innumerable different fragrance components. Accordingly, they always activate the same specific receptors. We then save this combination as a pattern in the brain. The olfactory cells translate the biochemical language of the olfactory molecules into the electrical language of the brain and transmit the olfactory information via nerve fibres to the olfactory bulb, where it arrives sorted and bundled in the olfactory brain. This perception center composes the scents into a smell, which then reaches our consciousness. So, every time we breathe in the scent of lavender again, this creates a pattern that is then compared in the brain. If a pattern is found, we recognise that it is lavender. The olfactory information then arrives directly from the olfactory brain into the so-called limbic system, the seat of our emotions. The fragrance information also reaches the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory.

This also explains why fragrances always trigger feelings and memories directly. While these are of course different for everyone we can feel feel joy, sadness, fear, pleasure or disgust depending on the situation in which we first noticed this smell and whether we associate it with a positive or negative experience. We then react accordingly to a smell, either with defence or affection.

Fragrances are also one of our longest memories. The first imprinting takes place in the womb and we absorb many smells as a baby and we only get to know others with increasing age. So we are shaped by the scents according to our experiences. These imprints are so stable that even people with dementia can still be reached with them, e.g. the language no longer works. With its messenger substances, the odour information in the brain can directly influence breathing, circulation, digestion, reproduction and the hormonal system via the autonomic nervous system. Of course, the ability to learn and motivation can also be increased, because these are also linked to this part of the brain.

Emotional Stability

Our emotional balance can directly affect how the rest of our body feels and functions. When we find ourselves in emotional distress, it decreases our general quality of life and our daily feeling. Emotional health affects how we make decisions, how we interact with others, and how we react to events in life. Things like stress, anxious feelings, changes in weather, changed living conditions, and a variety of disturbing common emotions can have a very negative impact on our mood. So it is important that we find ways to counteract our negative emotions. Otherwise, it can seriously affect our quality of life. With essential oils we can create a feeling of calm and well-being or create a mood-lifting environment and thus use it for emotional health prevention. Each essential oil has its own biochemical profile and most oils can be classified as mood-lifting or calming. So the unique biochemical profile of each essential oil can evoke a particular emotional response.
