When you breathe oil molecules they
are detected by the brain olfactory center via the nostrils, which
stimulates the central part of the brain called the
amygdala
that manages your storage and filing systems for emotions. The
amygdala
does not respond to spoken, heard or written language. It only responds to
smell. Essential oils can communicate to that portion of our brain’s limbic
system and release repressed emotions that have hindered us since childhood.
Stored trauma or painful emotions, just like stored physical toxins, can
make us sick and cause pain, illness and suffering on all levels.
