Essential oils of heaven has been around for centuries; come back to the days of the Romans and Egyptians and has been used throughout the world by different cultures. Therapeutic benefits they have lasted the test of time.

Effects of aromatic essential oils or aromatherapy works because the direct effect that the sense of smell has on the brain and nervous system. We all experience this in our lives a. That is why when we kiss baked chocolate chip cookies, we can instantly recall the days of childhood are great at Grandma's house. This is why we can get the smell of cheap cologne, and we immediately returned to the memories of our first boyfriend. This is also why essential oils and aromatherapy can have a powerful effect on the brain. Because the nerves that are responsible for the smell, called olfactory nerve, go straight up from the nose to the front of the brain called the limbic system. This part of the brain is a big part of our nervous system and who we are as a person. In addition to smell / olfaction, the limbic part of the brain responsible for emotional response, mood, behavior, long term memory, and stress. In short, the emotional response is driven by the limbic system and the memories that go along with the emotions. Therefore, because we trigger the olfactory nerve to the aromatic smell of essential oils, we can directly affect the emotional brain, stress response, and memory. It is very powerful!

One scent that I found the most powerful is the essential oil of orange. I have used an orange every day in the water for months together with their kiss because of its effect on appetite suppression. The results showed that citrus oil increases the activity of the sympathetic nerve innervating the fat cells, adrenal (stress) glands, and kidneys. It also lowers the activity of the nerve that goes to the stomach in rats and mice in the study. This causes a decrease in appetite and slows stomach. Therefore, the effect of citrus oils increase the breakdown of fat, increase metabolism, and blood pressure, while reducing the desire for food intake (1). I have seen this with the daily use of orange oil. When I was hungry, I could smell the oil and found that it would help curb my appetite. Also, if I drink water with only 1-2 drops of orange essential oil in it before I eat, I eat much less. Now I know why!

The benefits of orange essential oil is very good for the health.
