Essential oils have been used for thousands of years to help treat so many things. But WHY do they work? Well there are two different ways they can either being applied directly to the skin or being inhaled

When applied topically they get absorbed through your sebaceous glands and then get taken down into your bloodstream. This way is great for skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, cuts, scrapes and body issues like sore/pulled muscles or a sore stomach (either from sickness/nausea or menstrual cramping) etc.

When being inhaled they travel through your nose up to your olfactory system and then transmits the impulses to your amygdala which is the emotional center of your brain and where memories are stored, it also gets sent to other parts of the limbic system like your pituitary glands which control the release of hormones and body regulation.
