How Does Aromatherapy Work? The essential plant distillates - TopicsExpress



          

How Does Aromatherapy Work? The essential plant distillates (essential oils) interrelate with the human body within four distinct modes of action: pharmacological (as phytopharmaceuticals) physiological (physically and chemically) psychological (affecting mental states and processes) and incorporeal (spiritual). Our body uses the aromatic molecules (essential oils) both (1.) through our olfactory system which is connected to the limbic system in the brain where our most primal feelings, urges and emotions reside, (2.) and by inhalation and skin absorption of the low weight molecular structure of essential oils. Aromatherapy works best within a holistic approach to wellness, adding nutrition and exercise.
