Aside from the fact that essential oils smell wonderful and uplifting, they play a huge part in emotional healing.
Believe it or not, the emotional brain reacts merely to aroma! In our brains, there is a section that performs the sole task of keeping and eliminating emotional distress – called the Amygdala.
This part of our brain is responsible for either tuning into or shying away from the flight or fight response. When essential oils are inhaled through the nasal passageways, more times than not we are able to shift into the parasympathetic nervous system that helps the body to rest and digest.
Dr. Bradley Nelson from “The Emotion Code” shares that a trapped emotion is literally a ball of energy and that it will lodge anywhere in the body and disrupt the normal energy field of the body.
It makes sense! Have you ever thought about where certain emotions are stored within our bodies? For example, anger is stored within the liver & gallbladder. Worry is stored in the stomach which can sometimes be sensed when you’re feeling nervous and experience butterflies in your belly. Fear is stored within our kidneys and stress is stored in our hearts!
Aromatherapy and the use of essential oils are so powerful. We simply inhale these oils to open up our amygdala that in return helps us to process all of these heavy emotions in a healthier way.
When we can tune in to what our body needs to heal, finding the right essential oils becomes easier!
