Using Essential Oils Aromatically



The sense of smell is a tool that can elicit powerful physiologic, mental, and

emotional responses. Essential oils are quickly absorbed by the smell receptors,

which have a direct link to the limbic system by way of the olfactory nerve.

The limbic system is part of the brain that supports a variety of functions including

smell, emotions, behavior, and memory. For this reason, essential oils have an

especially powerful effect via aromatic application.


Some essential oils induce uplifting or invigorating effects, while others are more

calming. Diffusion is one of the simplest methods for using essential oils aromatically.

Diffusers that use cold air or water are ideal. However, using essential oils

aromatically does not require any special diffusing devices.


You can achieve the same health benefits by simply placing a few drops of essential

oil in the palm of your hand that is then cupped around the nose as you breathe deeply.


Additional aromatic uses For Essential Oils Include:

• Apply oil to a cotton ball and place in the air vents of your vehicle

• Mix oils in a spray bottle with water and mist over furniture, carpet, or linens

• Add oil to a batch of laundry or to dryer sheets

• Use in household surface cleaners
