<strong>The</strong> <strong>reality</strong> <strong>regarding</strong> <strong>Stress</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Essential</strong> Oils<br />
Where to buy essential oils<br />
Aromatherapy essential oils are the highly concentrated essences of aromatic plants. <strong>The</strong> oils are found<br />
in different parts of the plant such as the flowers, twigs, leaves <strong>and</strong> bark, or perhaps in the rind of fruit.<br />
For instance, in roses it's based in the flowers, in basil it is in the leaves, in s<strong>and</strong>alwood in the wood, <strong>and</strong><br />
so on.<br />
Organic essential oils<br />
<strong>Essential</strong> oils have some of uses only one of the largest today is aromatherapy. Each of the organic<br />
essential oils utilized in aromatherapy can be used either alone or perhaps in combination to produce a<br />
desired effect. Before using pure essential oils as part of an aromatherapy treatment, you should<br />
comprehend the effect the oil(s) have, <strong>and</strong> how aromatherapy works.<br />
Aromatherapy may be the art of utilizing these oils to advertise healing of the body <strong>and</strong> the mind. <strong>The</strong><br />
methods used to extract the oils are time consuming, expensive <strong>and</strong> require a high amount of expertise.<br />
Organic essential oils could be extracted using a variety of methods, even though some aren't widely<br />
used today. Currently, the most popular method for extraction is steam distillation. To extract the<br />
essential oil, the guarana plant materials are placed into a still (much like a pressure cooker) where<br />
pressurized steam passes through the plant material. <strong>The</strong> heat in the steam causes globules of oil within<br />
the plant to burst <strong>and</strong> also the oil then evaporates. <strong>The</strong> fundamental oil vapor <strong>and</strong> also the steam then<br />
pass out the top still into a water cooled pipe in which the vapors are condensed to liquids. At this point,<br />
the essential oil separates in the water <strong>and</strong> floats to the peak. This can be a process that is better left to<br />
professionals.<br />
How <strong>Essential</strong> Oils Work<br />
<strong>Essential</strong> oils come with an immediate impact on our olfaction, also referred to as "olfaction". When<br />
essential oils are inhaled, olfactory receptor cells are stimulated <strong>and</strong> also the impulse is transmitted<br />
towards the emotional center of the brain, or "limbic system". <strong>The</strong> limbic system is connected to regions<br />
of the mind associated with memory, breathing, <strong>and</strong> blood circulation, as well as the endocrine gl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
which regulate hormonal levels in the body. <strong>The</strong> properties of the oil combined with the fragrance <strong>and</strong><br />
its effects determine stimulation of those systems.
