Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel directly from the olfactory nerves to the brain, with a particular impact on the emotional center of the brain. The sense of smell, known as olfaction, plays a key role in aromatherapy. When you inhale a scent, it triggers the olfactory system, a complex network of receptors in the nose that sends signals directly to the brain. These signals influence the limbic system, a brain region responsible for emotions, memories, and mood regulation. What is the science behind aromatherapy? From the olfactory epithelium, nerve impulses are transmitted to the limbic system. This direct connection explains why scents can evoke powerful emotional responses and trigger memories from the past. When you inhale an aroma, scent molecules interact with the passage of the nose, which tells the neurons located there to generate a message for the olfactory bulb that processes the signal and sends information about the smell to the limbic system. It also helps secrete hormones and regulate memories. Your sense of smell is the first sense that you will fully develop as a child, and the smells that you like and dislike as a child will form the basis for your scent for the rest of your life. Your brain will form the links between scents and happy memories, people and places. Several studies have shown that smells trigger more intense and vivid emotional memories than pictures. This interaction influences mood, memory, cognition, behavior, and emotions, which can trigger the release of neurochemicals that impact various functions in the body and emotional responses, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, etc.
Aromatherapy can be very potent in regulating the mood because of its ability to evoke powerful emotional memories. The olfactory bulb, a structure in the brain linked to smell, is closely connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, which are the areas associated with emotions and memory. As a result, certain smells can instantly shift you to specific memories or trigger particular emotional responses. Aromatherapy has been shown to impact neurotransmitter release in the brain and influence hormone balance; it can also shift brainwaves to facilitate relaxation and mood elevation. Different aromas stimulate specific areas within the limbic system, influencing mood, stress levels, and even cognitive function. Let’s talk about how to use the specific plants and essential oils to improve your sleep quality instead of taking sleeping pills that have lots of side effects associated with them.
