I have been interested in Essential Oils since quite a while though I had not an idea how could I lay my hands on good quality essential oils. More about that in some other post but I wanted to discuss today about how Essential Oils affect our health.
What are Essential Oils?
I have already discussed a bit about Essential Oils in one of my previous posts. So, when we think about EO’s, the thing which automatically comes into our minds is fragrance or the aroma and its therapeutic effects on our health.
Essential Oils have a huge amount of impact on the health of a person not only the skin and hair. So, one can use essential oils for simple problems ranging from insomnia and migraines to beating cough and cold and bronchitis and some other respiratory problems.
How Essential Oils affect our EQ?
Whatever else EO’s may be good for, the main usage of essential oils comes to help you with your emotional quotient. Some EO’s are great to relive stress, anxiety, some are great for improving confidence in person, some improve the energy levels in the body and some are great for depression treatment and many more. Why is this so?
It has more to do with the sense of “smell”. Human beings have five senses – smells, taste, see, feel and hear. But, only one of these senses links to the brain directly and that is the “Smell”. The sense of “Smell” directly goes to the emotional center of our brain and controls our emotions. The other side effects of this “Smell” are that the brains sends signal to another part of the brain which controls the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels and all those physiological needs of the body. So, consequently, when you “Smell”, not only it affects your emotions but also the physiological needs of the body. That is one of the main uses of perfumes as far as I can garner – to uplift the senses and the spirits.
So, I hope, I did clear out certain things about why Aromatherapy works? Looking forward o your opinions!!! And, yes, I am gonna bug you on the DIY Thursdays in February with some DIY’s using Essential Oils. You have been forewarned 
Pleas please post DIYs on EOs yaarr… I got jojoba, rosemary and lavender oils recently and I’m looking forward to those posts… I love your blog cause its so different and focuses more in skincare and haircare not makeup reviews…And the subjects you come up are so unique.. keep the good work going…you are awesome..
hey…sure I shall try to do as many DIY’s using EO’s!!! and, thank you so much for your kind words
btw, I just wanted to tell you that jojoba is not an EO and rosemary and lavender are available both as EO’s and normal oils.
Hi dear..Brahmi Oil.. Is it good for our hair.. Please do suggest a good brand to use it.. it shuld be affordable too.. ;-(
hey DB…yes brahmi is a very good herb for hair just like bhringraj but I have never used any brahmi oil. But, you should check out this website: http://www.aryavaidyasala.com/. They are a pharmacy in the outerskirts of bangalore and Kama ayurveda seels their products packaged in a better way and I think they should be good!!! I haven’t yet ordered from them but I do plan to in near future.

hey Nami…yes, I have bought the above essential oils from Moksha Lifestyle and as far as I am able to garner, they are better than all others in the market and are available for very reasonable prices. And, in case you are from Delhi, you can simply go to their address and pick things up. Do let me know if you want to buy from them. I shall forward you all the information.

hey Nami….oh GOW is awesome!!! I don’t order from them coz of high rates and lack of money
