WHY OILS FOR EMOTIONS?
The limbic system is primarily responsible for our emotional life and also controls functions including adrenaline flow, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. Our olfactory (smell) sense is almost directly connected to the limbic system, meaning simply inhaling essential oils can have an immediate and profound effect emotionally.
In fact, a New York University study found the only way to release fear from the amygdala (a part of the limbic system) is through smell. Essential oil compounds can actually work to repair and reprogram cellular memory when used intentionally and consistently!
