Power of Essential Oils
Psychology of Smell
Dr. Alan R. Hirsch, a neurologist, psychiatrist,
researcher & expert in smell and taste, writes how "Smells are one of the quickest ways to change mood and emotion and can induce memories."
Our sense of smell is estimated to be 10,000 times more acute than our other senses
with sensitivity to some 10,000 chemical compounds.............. Scents travel more quickly to the brain than do stimuli from sight or sound. The odors induce parts of the brain to stimulate the release of hormones and neuro-chemicals which alters body physiology and therefore human behavior.
Most of the brain’s neurotransmitters are located in the olfactory bulb, providing further evidence of the link between human emotions and our sense of smell (Hirsh, 1997).

Aromatics from Flowers
“Look in the perfumes of flowers and of nature for peace of mind and joy of life” Wang Wei, 8th century A.D.
The sense of smell is described differently
from the other four senses as it is the only one that is directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control center. Emotions such as anxiety, depression, fear, anger and joy all emanate from this region. Dr Hirsch points out that odors impact all of us whether we like it or not. They influence us in a preconscious way and create impressions- especially in relationships to others.

Ancient Knowledge
The Egyptians, known for their everyday use of essential oils, knew the power of these 'godly gifts'.The Egyptians were the first to discover and use essential oils for illness, physical, spiritual needs, rituals in their temples, for medicine and cosmetics.
They were masters in using essential oils. Many heiroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian temples depict the blending as well as numerous recipes.
The Egyptians were considered as experts in cosmetology and in their preparations of ointments. They were quite vain about their appearance and cosmetics: perfumes were a great part of their dress. Essential oils were used for their skin against the hot sun and the dry, sandy wind. The oils kept their skin supple and soft as well as youthful.
Much has been discovered over the last few centuries of these ancient ways and the power that these precious oils give us. Find out more
