These oils can have many different applications in our lives. They can sometimes be used as a natural adjunct to, or substitute for, prescription or over-the-counter drugs. We can also use them simply to make ourselves feel better.
Aromatherapy uses the sense of smell to enrich our experience of the world. Smell plays a significant role in out daily perceptions and how we react physically, emotionally, and mentally to what is going on around us. Various scents help us orient ourselves to the season of the year, our location and situations of danger. Essential oils not only affect the physical but also the mental and emitional aspects of our lives. The inhalation of certain essential oils has been associated with the release of brain chemicals that simulate various emotions. For example, lavender oil has the ability to evoke the increase of serotonin, thus producing a calming effect on the tbody. Some essential oils also have healing properties when applied topically to the skin.
