Why should you try essential oils?
Essential oils are a good and healthy alternative to room sprays containing chemicals and artificial fragrances. Essential oils are a healthy way to create a pleasant scent in your home, office, or wherever you are. Essential oils also have a pleasant effect and, depending on the note and scent, can help you relax or concentrate, have a calming or comforting effect, or can be refreshing, invigorating and activating. The varied scents and multiple possible uses can increase your well-being and be a nice addition to your everyday life. Just try it out and let us convince you!
How can aromas affect the body?
Aromas can affect your body in several ways. The obvious way to detect aromas is through the nose: the olfactory nerves pass the signal on to the brain and can thus influence moods. Another mode of action is through the skin. The molecules of essential oils can pass through cell membranes and the skin and thus reach the tissue and blood. They are also able to influence an effect in the body via this route. A third mode of action is through the stomach: When we eat spices such as peppermint or thyme that contain essential oils, they reach the stomach and develop their effect this way.
Are there risks and side effects with essential oils? And what's the truth about the criticism of aroma therapy?
Essential oils should only be used diluted, as high concentrations can lead to headaches and allergic reactions. Since essential oils have a wide range of effects (strong substances with powerful effects), they should be used carefully. Aromatherapy is a holistic form of therapy for the body and soul. It is difficult to evaluate the therapy scientifically. Sensory and emotional impressions triggered by the oils cannot be objectified.
