Pure essential oils can be administered in many different ways. Mainly by inhalation, ingestion, or topical application.
The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses that is directly connected to the limbic system. The part of the brain that controls blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, as well as memory and hormone balance. The system is responsible for a range of physiological responses, thus a scent entering the olfactory bulb has the ability to effect both physiological and emotional well being.
It is thus, not surprising that the most common way of using essential oils, would be by inhalation. With the use of devices such as diffusers or burners, sprays or steam treatment.
Ingestion is not encouraged unless guided by a professional.
Probably the best yet least administered way by the general public would be via topical application. When applied to the skin, essential oils are absorbed relatively quickly. This means that they are able to enter the bloodstream and take effect very quickly compared to other therapeutic treatments.
Although essential oils are natural, they are highly concentrated and very potent! And are rarely used neat on the skin. This is why our job here at E'Scentials is so important! We blend these powerful essence with a natural carrier oil so that the essential oils are ready and safe to be used directly on the skin. This blending not only helps increase the absorption of the EO by preventing evaporation, but also helps to decrease the likelihood of a negative skin reaction.
Essential oils can help the body mitigate everyday ailments. Strengthen your immune system, organs and gland. Fight bacteria, fungi and viruses. Lower your stress levels. Tone, relax and strengthen your muscles. In fact, they assist the body in healing itself!
