How essential oils work
Essential oil molecules enter the body in two ways: through the skin (massage, bath) and through the lungs. The key role in aromatherapy is played by the inhalation of oil vapors. Their molecules go from the olfactory receptors directly to the brain, affect the psycho-emotional center, and have an autonomic effect.
Essential oils do not fight a specific problem, but have a complex effect on the whole body, stimulating and supporting its defensive reactions.
