How do essential oils affect the hormonal system?
The hypothalamus (the part of the brain that controls the endocrine system) has receptors to all organic substances in nature, more specifically to their smells. The smell of a plant is nothing more than its hormonal system. The human brain cell engages in a biochemical reaction and recognizes smells of those plants that it needs. The hypothalamus sends commands to the executive organ, the pituitary gland, which sends a message to the other glands of the endocrine system, a personal message for each gland. The gland receives the command and starts synthesizing HORMONE.
People’s reactions to the mixture of hormones manifest themselves in mood shifts, change in energy levels, sleepiness, etc. The hypothalamic-pituitary chain can be influenced by “nasally selected” plant esters. This is how Hippocrates, Avicenas treated their patients, without chemical pills, with food and plants. Choose AROMA DIAGNOSTICS and find out what your body needs.
