Over the time I've been using essential oils, I have learned some pretty impressive facts that have made me love them even more. I just wanted to take a few minutes to share some of this information with you.
It takes 22 seconds for the molecules to reach the brain. In 2 minutes the oils can be found in the bloodstream. In 20 minutes the oils will affect every cell in the body.
The amygdala sores and releases emotional trauma.
Your sense of smell links directly to emotional states and behaviors often stored since childhood.
Smell = linked to limbic lobe (our emotional control center)
Anxiety, depression, anger, fear, and joy all physically originate from the limbic lobe.
Fragrance evokes memories and emotions before we’re even consciously aware of it.
When your endocrine system is happy, your hormones are happy! Take care of your endocrine system. (Try Endoflex)
Avoid disrupters: chemicals that mimic hormones. (cleaning products, meat, plastic containers, BPA, Parabens, etc.)
Essential oils are safe for children & pets -- sometimes they just need to be diluted to be safe for use on them
