Did you know that A smell can activate feelings and memories before a person even identifies the odor?🤯🤯🤯
Well, You may have experienced it.
This is because when we inhale, odor molecules enter the nasal cavity where they fit as puzzle pieces into the Olfactory receptor cells and are sent as electrical signals to the Olfactory bulb. The system is characterized by relatively direct connections to brain structures implicated in memory and emotion.

SAFETY! SAFETY! SAFETY!!!!!
I can't say it loud enough.
With Essential Oils, Safety comes first. The oils being 100% more concentrated that it's plant origins, we need to be careful with how we use these oils. For each application technique, there are risks that we'll dive one by one.
Always remember... everything in moderation and Too much of everything is POISONOUS.
STAY SAFE
So, how do we use essential oils?
There are a number of technique applied to get the theraputic benefits of Essential Oils. Here are some of them from the most commonly used
1. INHALATION
This is the simplest delivery method. It is the fastest route to entry to the body for essential oils. During inhalation, volatile Essential Oil molecules are systemically absorbed as they enter both the Brain and the Lungs. It is estimated that 30-70% of the Essential oil is absorbed.
2. TOPICAL APPLICATION
Applying Essential Oils to your skin ( Diluted with a Carrier oil) is the second way to access the theraputic properties of Essential Oils. Not all oils are safe for skin application...but we'll cover that in another lesson.... Stay tuned.
Other Techniques not widely used are:
3. INGESTION.
Some oils are safe for consumption. We have consumed some oils everyday unknowingly, for instance, flavoring of processed foods. BUT, FOR INTENTIONAL PERSONAL USE, you are only to ingest Essential Oils under the care of q trained professional's instructions.
4. COOKING
Some spice up their cooking with Essential Oils. Cooking with Essential Oils is not something new in some parts of the world, but the important thing is to do so safely, appreciating the difference between whole herb or spice and its Essential oil. NOT ALL ESSENTIAL OILS ARE GOOD A GOOD CHOICE FOR COOKING.
5.
OIL PULLING
Oil pulling works by detoxifying your mouth in much the same way that soapcleans dirty dishes. Because most toxins are fat-soluble, it literally suckscontaminants—such as bacteria and small bits of food—out of your mouth andcreates an antiseptic oral environment that contributes to the proper flow ofsaliva, which is needed to prevent cavities and disease.
We shall cover cautions to adhere to for all techniques in the next lesson. Stay Glued
