Do essential oils really work? 3 ways they can benefit you

What are essential oils

Essential oils are basically plant extracts. They're made by steaming or pressing various parts of a plant (flowers, bark, leaves or fruit) to capture the compounds that produce fragrance. 

Essential oils have been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain. They also impact the limbic system, which is linked to the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress, and hormone balance. In this way, essential oils can have a subtle, yet holistic effect on the body.


Top three ways that essential oils can benefit you

Boost your mood

We love a bright, fresh scent in the morning! It lifts your energy and gets you pumped up for the day! But do these scents actually work in this way? Science says they do!

Like the our Bright, citrus mood enhancer, Morning, the scents of peppermint, grapefruit and ginger can help evoke creativity and promote expansiveness!

Citrus essential oil has been shown in studies to reliably enhance a positive mood. Lifting energy and relieving fatigue can be achieved with peppermint essential oils, clinical studies have shown.
