Information-processing goes on inside of us without our awareness — supported by our sense of smell.

For example, our olfactory nerves and sense of smell can soothe underlying discomfort or alert the sympathetic nervous system that helps us relax. These parts of our brain are wired to assist the flow of information and thus are part of the germ-rejection and subsequent healing processes.

We think we’re making the choice, but actually our brain’s intelligence and the limbic system are primed to receive stimuli and then relay messages about it to other parts of the body. For example, whenever feeling exhausted, just smelling a Peppermint essential oil blend (or blends with similar actions) can lift that sagging feeling, replacing it with a sense of lightness.

Scented Influence

When a scent reminds you of something pleasant or opens a whole new world of pleasure, you are, at that moment, being positively influenced by your reaction to that scent.

Positive influence is the same as being in tune with the universe and all of life.

Thus being under the influence of aromas, just for a few moments of conscious-slowing-down supports life in a protective way. That’s a good thing, and it’s nurturing for the psyche. Satisfying the sense of smell, such a small action which takes relatively little effort, does have an impact on our health.

So also, say numerous online articles about essential oils, as well as published sources of similar information.

However, an essential oil blend supports your health if viewed as adjunct to everything else you do towards that end. In other words, for essential oils to have an ongoing positive impact, your other habits are key.

The Aroma of a Particular Scent

It’s said that when you love the aroma of a particular scent, you can’t resist keeping it close, adorning yourself with that smell. In a way, you’re identifying with how that scent makes you feel. Therefore, it’s likely you do need, indeed your body requires, the properties it offers you.
