Essential oils have been used in aromatherapy for a long time and they are the best natural way to improve your mood, the functioning of your brain and purify the air of your home. In addition to giving your home a good smell, inhaling the fumes of some essential oils also offers many health benefits.
Diffuse essential oils will send their molecules into the air. Once inhaled, the nerves inform the brain to stimulate certain body systems. Since chemical messengers are located in the nasal cavity, inhalation is the best way to benefit from any essential oil. Here's why you should start diffusing essential oils:
Clean the air
Diffusion of essential oils can increase oxygen levels in the air, destroy mold germs, increase ozone levels and negative ions, destroy chemicals and also make your home feel good.
Strengthens your immune system
The diffusion of eucalyptus and cinnamon essential oils will strengthen your immune system and help the body fight off various infections. A French study submitted 210 microbes to these oils and in just over an hour, only 4 remained active. Just add 5 to 10 drops of cinnamon or eucalyptus oil in a diffuser with water and light it.
Reduces stress and helps you relax
The molecules of essential oils can cross the cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier to reach the center of the brain in a very short time. Once they reach the hypothalamus, they can reduce stress and improve your mood and energy level, helping you relax. To create an extra strong anti-stress mixture, mix 5 drops of lavender essential oil, 3 drops of ylang-ylang and a few drops of bergamot oil.
Improve your sleep
A study conducted in 2014 showed that a combination of essential oils of valerian and other essential oils can reassure your mind and help you sleep better. Another study has shown that a combination of lavender and other essential oils can lower your blood pressure and reduce the production of stress hormones, so you can fall asleep more easily and get a well-deserved night's rest.
Reduces chest congestion
If your airways are clogged and inflamed, experts recommend removing the clog by spreading a mixture of eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary and peppermint essential oils. These same oils are effective against asthma and other respiratory problems.
Limit your cravings
Science has shown that smell is related to our appetite. Many experts agree that the smell triggers the feeling of satiety before the stomach does. As we mentioned before, essential oils can easily reach the hypothalamus where the center of satiety is and affect its functioning, regulating your cravings and your satiety.
If you do not have a diffuser at home, here's another way to enjoy all the benefits of essential oils. Simply apply a few drops of an essential oil on your palms, rub them and inhale the vapors by placing your hands against your nose.
