How essential oils are used
Inhalation
Our subconscious receives and responds to scents before we are aware of it. The direct interaction of the nervous system and the brain is what gives essential oils their therapeutic qualities.
Reed diffusers are a great way to feel the benefits of the essential oils. When inhaled the oils travel to the emotional part of the brain known as the amygdala. This can have a positive effect on your mind (psychologically) and can also have an effect physiologically (on your body).
Through the skin
When essential oils are applied to the skin they can sink into the bloodstream and used around the body. Massages can have an uplifting effect on anxiety caused by stress and emotional states. Relax in the warm natural plant wax which melts into the perfect blend of essential oils. Allow the sweet aromas to soothe your mind, body and mood. Racing Dew Massage Candle
