Understanding the Power of Essential Oils

Whether pleasant or unpleasant, our surroundings leave an impression on our mental and physical states. What we experience through our senses has consequences for our body systems that control not only mood but also our breathing, thinking, feeling, movement, hormones, metabolism, and our resistance to illness. We are generally inclined to place ourselves in or near natural settings when we find ourselves feeling stressed. Aromatic herbalism, the use of fragrant flowers, woods, plants, and resins, is a great natural way to manipulate our environment to be more what we need it to be. Essential oils are derived from various parts of plants, such as flowers, leaves, bark, and seeds. They contain volatile compounds that possess unique aromas and therapeutic benefits. When inhaled or applied to the skin, essential oils interact with our limbic system, influencing our emotions, mood, and overall well-being.

Peppermint, rosemary, citrus oils, and eucalyptus are among the best choices for achieving these desired effects.

Fill your bathtub or a plastic basin with warm water and apply 3-5 drops of your chosen essential oil or blend (we recommend lemon and peppermint). Be sure to add a dispersant since oil and water do not mix. Soak, breathe, and rock the evening!
