Aromatherapy - Shop

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves in your brain (the sensory nerve that functions for the sense of smell) and especially impacts the amygdala, the emotional centre of the brain.

THE SCIENCE BIT: the AMYGDALA is a small almond shaped structure inside the temporal lobe in the brain, just above the ear and between the temples. Its primary role is the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses - including fear, social stimuli, motivation, anxiety, and aggression. Your Amygdala sits near several other brain structures that carry information from your senses, especially smell, which is why fragrance can connect strongly to emotions and memories. The Amygdala also connects to brain areas that process vision and hearing. Excessive stress/anxiety can put you in a constant state of 'fight or flight' or 'Amygdala Hijack', so learn to calm the Amygdala’s activity, and symptoms of anxiety and stress with deep breathing exercises, aromatherapy, mindfulness meditation, and muscle relaxation especially in the neck, back and shoulders where stress is 'stored'.
