"Essential oils affect the body in two key ways: through inhalation and through the skin. When you breathe them in, aromatic molecules travel through the nose directly to the limbic system—the part of the brain that processes emotion, memory, and behavior. This is why certain scents can create such immediate emotional responses.
When applied to the skin (always properly diluted), essential oils are absorbed into the bloodstream through the capillaries. Because they’re fat-soluble and made up of very small molecules, they can pass through the skin barrier and circulate through the body, offering localized or systemic effects depending on the oil.
This dual pathway—affecting both the emotional brain and the physical body—is what makes aromatherapy such a uniquely effective support during bodywork."
