Many people are uneducated about essential oils. Aromatherapy is one of the three ways to use essential oils safely for physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. I personally use doTERRA Essential Oils aromatically, internally and topically. The sense of smell can elicit powerful physiologic, mental, and emotional responses that can change the way we feel or think. We respond quickly when essential oils are absorbed by the smell receptors, which have a direct link to the limbic system by way of the olfactory nerve. The limbic system is part of the brain that supports a variety of functions including smell, emotions, behavior, and memory. For this reason, essential oils have a powerful effect via aromatic application.
Some essential oils induce uplifting or invigorating effects, while others are more calming. Diffusion is one of the simplest methods for using essential oils aromatically. Diffusers that use cold air or water are ideal. There are other ways to inhale essential oils such as diffuser jewlery. Lately I have been designing and making Essential Oil Diffuser Jewelry specifically for children. There is an abundance of diffuser jewelry for adults, but not many companies make it for children. When I think about designing jewelry for children I think of durability something that can be accidentally tossed in the wash and still be able to wear it once it’s discovered in the laundry. Essential oil jewelry is easy to use all you do is add a drop to two onto the clay or wood and it can last for several days. Once the smell fades you can add another oil or apply on top of the previous oil used.
You can achieve the same health benefits by simply placing a few drops of essential oil in the palm of your hand that is then cupped around the nose as you breathe deeply.
