Vapourising Essential Oils Help In So Many Ways

Essential oils that are used in aromatherapy are best known for their aroma or smell but they also have many other health benefits.

When you breathe in essential oils it help with your mood and anxiety levels.  Have you noticed the difference it makes when you walk into a room and the beautiful scent of pure essential oils (not synthetic but pure high quality therapeutic) lifts your mood as it cleanses and purifies the air?  When you inhale their molecules the nerves in the nasal cavity send signals to the brain to stimulate specific systems in the body.  They can help raise the levels of oxygen, kill off the mould spores and increase the levels of negative ions and ozone.

Essential oils calm your mind and help you sleep better.  They reduce anxiety and help with depression and all this happens when you are enjoying the relaxing scent rather than the stale odour that sometimes happens in houses especially when it has rained for some time.  Your mood also lifts when you get enough sleep and aren’t deprived of the rest that you need at the end of the day.

Many researchers have detected physiological changes in response to odour stimulation in areas such as blood pressure, muscle tension, skin temperature, skin conductance and brain wave patterns.  Some essential oils such as pine, lime, frankincense, sage, ylang ylang and sandalwood are great for treating asthma as well as other respiratory issues.

And, another recommendation if you do not have a diffuser at home, is to use essential oils on a tissue and smell when needed or you can apply some to your hands.  You just need to simply put several drops onto the palms of your hands, rub them together, bring them close to your nose, and breath in.
