Who are my science nerds??? We’re going to get a

Who are my science nerds??? We’re going to get a little nerdy 🤓 today because you may be wondering how essential oils affect the emotions. Well, it starts with the Limbic System. What’s that?? Well, let’s dive in!As a person inhales an essential oil, the molecules of the oil go into the back of each nostril to the epithelium patch where the molecules attach to receptors on the cilia hairs. These convert to nerves that send the odor information to the olfactory bulb in the brain. This bulb communicates directly with the amygdala, hippocampus, and other brain structures. Still with me? 🙃🙃🙃 Good! Getting to the good stuff - promise! The amygdala is the center for emotions in the limbic system and it links our sense of smell to our ability to learn emotionally. (Hello👋 EMOTIONAL BRAIN) The capacity to link information and emotions is why essential oils are such a powerful partner in creating and maintaining emotional health.This is EXACTLY why smells will trigger memories more than seeing an image, tasting food, or even listening to music!☀️Some of our most popular oils to start to anchor your emotional brain are citrus oils, as they provoke happy, uplifting, and supportive emotions in most people. As I type this I am reminded I need to defuse more citrus oils in our home.Anyone else feeling that??What is your favorite citrus oil to grab and inhale?

I remember once sitting with a gal chatting oils and when we opened a bottle of Citrus Bliss and I saw her mentally go to a place where a memory existed. She paused and said, “That reminds me of my grandma.” She had an EXPERIENCE .Essential oils contain massive concentrations of powerful plant chemicals and can stimulate the subconscious with their scents bringing feelings of alertness, happiness, calm, relaxation, or sleepiness. 💫 These aromas can elicit powerful physiologic, mental, and emotional responses.By using aromatherapy to keep negative states of being such as stress, tension, and sleeplessness at bay, we are able to give our overall health a boost. 👋 Hello Adaptiv and Grapefruit! Where have you been all my life? 😍😍😍Did you know that inhaling your essential oils was such an exceptional way to support your emotional AND physical health? ...our bodies are SO incredible! Okay, I am wanting to know...what is your favorite diffuser blend? And... do you love the memories associated with it?

Oh my goodness!! If you ever want to see the impac

Oh my goodness!! If you ever want to see the impact of the power of smell, just experience smell with a child. I had the pleasure of hanging with some kids this weekend and introduced some essential oils scents to them👉🏽👉🏽 swipe to see what happened! Have you ever smelled something and you were immediately transported to another time or place? 🖐 I know I have. [Share a time this has happened to you: smelling cookies and thinking of your grandmother’s kitchen, etc]👉 This month, let’s chat about the power (and science) of smell! Imagine you are out for a walk and you stop to inhale the fragrance of a rose in full bloom. Or maybe you catch the aroma of fresh rosemary while cooking in the kitchen. These scents can create a shift in our mood, wake us up (or lull us to sleep), and they can, in fact, transport us to another time.🚀 Now, don’t fire up the Delorean. This month we will be focusing on different diffuser blends while discussing how aromatherapy has a positive effect on our mental and physical states by working with the limbic system. Is there an instance that you can remember where you smelled something and were instantly reminded of a time in your past?

Neroli is completely underrated. 👀 Yep, I said

Neroli is completely underrated. 👀Yep, I said it. Rose, Magnolia, and Jasmine get all the glory when it comes to floral oils.Most floral essential oils are great for skin health. Neroli is not only soothing to the skin, helps emotionally with overthinking, but will also kick your labido into second gear...😏 YOU’RE WELCOME (ordering now!)If you prefer a brighter, citrusy, floral aroma that can stand alone by itself (without reminding you of your grandmother)... well my friend, you need Neroli. This oil comes from the hand-picked blossoms of the bitter orange tree.In fact, Wild Orange comes from the fruit of the same tree. Petitgrain is distilled from the twigs and bark of the bitter orange tree as well. It's incredible how diverse this tree is.I love layering Grapefruit, Sandalwood, Geranium, or Patchouli with Neroli.This month, you can get Neroli for 10% off! 🎉``Have you used Neroli? If so, what is your favorite oil to pair with Neroli?
