Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that are used for various purposes such as aromatherapy, natural healing, and relaxation. Each essential oil has its unique benefits depending on the plant it's derived from. It's always important to note that essential oils should not be used as a replacement for conventional medical care, but rather as a complementary therapy to enhance the body's ability to heal itself.
Physiological Connections
Essential oils have been used for centuries for their potential therapeutic benefits on physical health. Some essential oils may have antibacterial, antifungal, or anti-inflammatory properties that can help to support immune function and alleviate symptoms of certain health conditions. Research also suggest essential oils can have various effects on the body's physiology when inhaled or applied topically. When inhaled, some essential oils can help stimulate the olfactory system, which is linked to the brain's limbic system, leading to positive changes in mood, emotions, and physiological responses.
Cognitive Connections
There is some evidence to suggest that certain essential oils may have a positive impact on cognition and mood. Some oils have been shown to improve cognitive performance and mood, stimulate the brain, and may improve alertness and concentration. Essential oils have been studied for their potential effects on mental health. Aromatherapy, which involves inhaling or applying essential oils, has been found to be beneficial in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia. Some oils have been found to have calming and relaxing effects on the mind and body.

Usage: Essential oils can be used by diffusing in the air, adding to bathwater, massaging into the skin, and inhaling directly. However, it is recommended to dilute the essential oils with a carrier oil before applying directly to the skin.
Safety: Essential oils are potent and should be used with intentional care. Make sure you always spot test your essential oil blend, by placing a few drops onto the back of the hand, and ensuring no irritation or allergic reaction occurs within the following 48 hours. Avoid ingestion, as well as direct contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. It is also crucial to keep essential oils out of reach of children and pets.
Quality: The quality of essential oils can vary greatly depending on the plant source, extraction method, and production process. It is important to choose a reputable brand that uses pure and natural ingredients and conducts third-party testing to ensure the quality and purity of their products. This is why we use trusted products that are all natural and organic.
