Why should you try essential oils?
Essential oils are a good and healthy alternative to chemical air fresheners and artificial fragrances. Essential oils are a healthy way to create a pleasant scent in your home, office or wherever you are.
In addition, essential oils 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 enrichment for your everyday life. Just try it out and let yourself be convinced!
How can aromas affect the body?
Aromas can affect your body in several ways. The obvious thing to do is to detect aromas via 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. Essential oil molecules can pass through cell membranes and skin to enter tissues and blood. They are therefore also able to influence an effect in the body in this way.
A third mode of action is via the stomach: when we eat spices such as peppermint or thyme that contain essential oils, they enter the stomach and develop their effects through this route.
Are there any risks and side effects with essential oils? And what about the criticism of aromatherapy?
Essential oils should only be used diluted, because high concentrations can lead to headaches and allergic reactions
Since essential oils have multiple effects (strong substances with strong effects), they should be used with care
Aromatherapy is a holistic form of therapy for body and soul. It is difficult to evaluate the therapy scientifically. Sensory and emotional impressions triggered by the oils cannot be objectified.
