Do you know……..Essential oils get absorbed in our body in three ways, either by: Inhalation, Topical application (through skin), and/or Ingestion. Researchers have proved that all essential oil components have molecular

weight under 500 Dalton (the standard measurement unit of atomic mass), so they penetrate through outer layer of our skin the epidermis with relative ease, make into the bloodstream and diffuse to various organs. Initially an essential oil goes to areas of high blood flow such as skeletal muscle, the liver, and kidneys. It may become absorbed into the fat tissue. However, it is thought that essential oil does not stay in circulation for a longer period. Eventually it is excreted through the kidneys in the urine, exhaled by the lungs, secreted through the skin, or passed through in the feces.

 

Essential oils can be applied topically through body massage or simple application on the affected part of the body. Skin (outer layer) —-> Skin (inner layer) —-> Capillaries —->Blood stream —-> Target organs —-> Cell receptors —> Metabolized and Excreted. There are several factors that affects the penetration of essential oils through the epidermis to blood vessels for systemic circulation. Every essential oil has different viscosity and properties, everyone’s skin and surroundings are different. Besides, different areas of the skin are more permeable than others, like the palms of hands, soles of feet, forehead, scalp, behind the ears, inside the wrists and armpits, which will be quicker to absorb oil compared to legs and abdomen area. Also, the combination of the right essential and carrier oils (less viscous Almond or Grape seed oil gets absorbed quicker than thicker oils such as Avocado or Olive oil) used to make dilution helps with the absorption of essential oils.

Inhalation is the easiest, effective, and inexpensive mode of essential oil administration that can be carried out anywhere at any time. When essential oils are inhaled, the molecules travel through the olfactory system into the limbic system of the brain i.e. through the nerve pathways from the sinuses to the limbic system’s central glands. Inhalation is especially helpful in alleviating emotional problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and respiratory problems as some essential oils can be directly transported to the lungs within no time. 

The oral ingestion of essential oils is not common practice in the US, but in France and Europe it is more common under the observation of a trained Aromatherapists, or specially trained physicians, or pharmacists. Oral ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended for the public because some essential oils can be toxic to the liver or kidneys, or could have estrogen properties, or could show potential drug interactions, or the beneficial chemical constitution could change during gastric processing. Therefore, it’s advisable to either educate yourself in essential oil practice or seek expert advice.

You must be thinking, why essential oils are considered as an alternative health care modality for holistic approach to our physical, mental, emotional, as well as spiritual wellbeing? Scientist have studied those essential oils, the natural, concentrated, liquid extract of plants, possess different therapeutic properties that have been used since centuries to cure various ailments.

  • Balance Hormones

Quick Tips to De-Stress with Aromatherapy

Quick Tips to De-Stress with Aromatherapy
A Lovely Monday Morning to You All!

Do you know…….. Stress is a state of physical, mental, emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances or day to day life inconveniences. Unfortunately, we are living in a stressful time essentially caused by several phenomena that are inherent to today’s society, including work performance, competition, finance, natural disasters, pandemic, war.

Stress is a normal human reaction and in fact, the human body is designed to experience stress and react to it to help our body adjust to new situations. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated (e.g. during an important test) and ready to avoid danger during a perceived threat with its built-in stress response, the ‘fight-or-flight response’. While vastly different, each stressful situation, whether life-threatening or simple inconvenience, release adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. Adrenaline increases blood pressure and boosts energy supplies, while cortisol releases glucose into the bloodstream, and even altering the immune system. Stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation, which can cause some serious health risks, including:

  • Exhaustion, Insomnia
  • High blood-pressure

                  Essential Oil Spray for Stress

  • Depression, Increased anxiety
  • Panic attacks, sadness
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Hostility and rage
  • Aggressive and impulsive behavior
  • Muscle tension, aches-pains
  • Overeating or under eating
  • Tobacco, drug, or alcohol dependence and abuse

Which is why we need to work towards managing our stress and decluttering our life. Take a step back, and assess what is stressing you out? Then develop and explore stress management strategies:

  • Positive thinking which strengthens our focus and inner resolve.
  • Learning how to use empowering, encouraging self-dialogue that releases serotonin,    dopamine and allows opening the needed inner resources to be successful.
  • Effective communication, the most important life-skill, that connects us with others and helps in developing relationship.
  • Spending time with friends and loved ones.
  • Taking time out for hobbies for reading, writing, painting, music, etc.
  • Healthy diet and eating habit.
  • Getting regular physical activity and practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, or massage

There are medications (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, and Ativan) to help deal with anxiety with side effects and safety concerns, such as the risk of addiction. Anti-anxiety medications are known tranquilizers that slows down the nervous system and creates a relaxing-calming effect. Use of Essential Oils through Aromatherapy is a safe effective holistic health care approach to alleviate stress. It can conjure memories both good and bad, excite us, soothe us, even promote good night sleep. Fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect our emotional state as our sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system of brain that activates the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus is the hormone control center in brain that regulates the sex drive, energy levels, stress, and happiness. To reap the rewards of Aromatherapy, use Essential oils proactively with patience. Essential oils can be applied topically (diluted) over the wrists, feet, back of the neck or inhale directly or can be diffused, in combination with lifestyle modifications in diet and exercise. To order ‘Stress Buster Spray’, please visit our website, aromawellness.net.
