Editor's Notes
- Whether you are new to essential oils, or have been using them for years, the topic of emotional aromatherapy is both fascinating and applicable in everyday life. Yes, essential oils can be useful for cleaning, cooking, maintaining good health and promoting wellbeing, but if you haven’t tried using essential oils to manage your emotions, you are missing out on a huge benefit that essential oils have to offer. Today I would like to talk about the power that essential oils have when it comes to managing mood, why you would want to use them for emotional benefit, and the specific dōTERRA products that can help you manage your emotions. When you are overwhelmed with grief or sadness, need to be energized and motivated, or need calming and peaceful feelings throughout your day, essential oils can be helpful in managing your mood.
- Just as essential oils have been used for centuries, the idea of aromatherapy is not a new fad or trend. In ancient civilizations like China, Greece, Rome, and India, people recognized the power that essential oils had to influence human emotion, and often used essential oils for religious ceremonies and rituals for this very reason. Although these ancient people recognized the power of aromatherapy, the term “aromatherapy” wasn’t officially coined until the 20th century. It took many years for scientists to realize how beneficial essential oils are for the emotions, and it wasn’t until the 1990’s when substantial research helped biologists to prove what the people of ancient Greece and China knew—that essential oils create responses in the body, and can be used to influence our emotions and mood.
- As you may know, each essential oil has its own unique chemical makeup. The chemical design of an essential oil determines what it is useful for—some chemical elements make an essential oil useful for cleaning, while others make an oil beneficial for the skin, the list goes on and on. When it comes to aromatherapy, essential oils can be used to create specific emotional responses depending on their chemical makeup. When an essential oil is inhaled, it travels through the nose and processed by the portion of the brain that is responsible for controlling our sense of smell. From there, aromatic pathways connect the scent to the part of our brain where memories and experiences are stored. As the aroma travels through aromatic pathways, memories are triggered, giving us an emotional response. Because everyone has different memories and life experiences, each of us will have a different response when using essential oils for managing our emotions. No two people will have the same exact response to an oil, but if you use the correct oils, it is easy to manage mood and emotions using the aroma of essential oils.
- In our stressful, ever-changing world, there are many sources that can be used to manage emotions. So you might be wondering, “Why should I use essential oils to manage my emotions?” First, one of the biggest reasons to use essential oils for mood management is that they are natural, safe substances that won’t cause harmful problems, or endanger your health and body. Many of the substances and sources we use to manage stress or deal with our emotions can end up hurting us in other ways. Using essential oils for mood management provides a safe and simple way to deal with complex emotions that are constantly changing. Second, essential oils provide a great way to quickly alter your mood. In many cases, you can start to feel the calming, soothing, or uplifting effects of an essential oil from the moment that you open the bottle. Inhaling essential oils, applying them to the skin, or diffusing them in the air allows you to quickly alter your mood because the oil will generate an emotional response within the brain from the first sniff. Lastly, essential oils provide the user with a convenient way to manage mood nearly any time of day and in any location. While there are other healthy ways to manage our emotions—speaking with friends or a counselor, doing physical activities like yoga, or giving ourselves a break by taking a vacation—these options aren’t always practical right in the moment when we wish to alter our mood. However, essential oils provide a simple way to manage your emotions while at work, home, school, or in practically any circumstance.
- Now that you’ve had a little introduction to the history and science of emotional aromatherapy, you might be wondering how exactly to use essential oils to manage your emotions. When it comes to aromatherapy, essential oils can basically be categorized into one of two categories—uplifting and calming. Calming essential oils mostly consist of floral oils due to their chemical makeup. Uplifting essential oils are usually in the citrus, spice, or mint family because these plants produce oils with invigorating, uplifting, and energizing aromas.
- This wheel breaks down the emotional effects of essential oils even further. The chemical makeup and unique plant part of each essential oil gives it grounding, soothing, calming, renewing, harmonizing, energizing, warming, or uplifting properties. When you want to produce a specific feeling or emotion, you can choose the essential oil that best fits your needs.
- Because essential oils provide such a powerful way to influence the emotions, dōTERRA created the Emotional Aromatherapy System with essential oil blends designed to target specific emotions. Each essential oil blend in the Emotional Aromatherapy System uses specific plant extracts and chemical components to help promote feelings of motivation, happiness, peace, comfort, and more.
