several benefits, including:
Researchers believe essential oils stimulate smell receptors in the nose, which send messages through the nervous system to the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls emotions.
How does it work?
It is the therapeutic use of essential oils extracted from plants (flowers, herbs, or trees) to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Essential oils and aromatherapy
It can fill the entire room with fragrance.
If you work from home, you can use an essential oil diffuser.
This can help energize you when you drive in, and help you relax and wind down on your drive home.
If you drive to work, use a portable diffuser.
If the oil is safe to put on your skin (check the label to be sure), add a few drops to a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba, rub the mixture on to your palms, and then cup your hands under your face and breathe in.
Invest in a clay diffuser necklace.
Apply a few drops of oil to the terra cotta pendant and wear the necklace.
Smell it straight from the bottle.
Heat up a mug of water, add a few drops of oil to it, and smell the steam (do not ingest).
Add a drop or two of oil to a cotton ball, tissue, or washcloth. Place it a few inches under your nose, and breathe in.
While a diffuser may not be appropriate for a shared office space, you can still get the benefits of essential oil aromatherapy in other ways.
