Essential Oils: What they are and why I love them!
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts, the compounds that give plants their distinctive aroma. Since our sense of smell is directly linked to the emotional control centers of our brain, what we smell can have a direct impact on our emotional state.
What are they used for?
Many use essential oils (aromatherapy) to help ease stress or to feel more energized. Others use these oils to help improve sleep, alleviate migraines/headaches, and to even alleviate inflammation. My personal favorite is "gutsy" by Sage and I swear by it when I'm having stomach issues and discomfort.
