Key Information

Essential oils can stimulate the brain

Certain essential oils can cross the blood-brain barrier and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps with healing and relaxation.

Essential oils can help with anxiety

Smelling essential oils through the left nostril can calm down anxiety attacks by activating the right brain hemisphere, which is more intuitive and creative.

Essential oils can modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, which can improve sleep quality and overall health.

Essential oils are best when organic

Organic essential oils are free from pesticides and other chemicals that can interfere with their therapeutic effects.
