Every essential oil has different properties and effects, so it is important to find the ones that appeals most to your senses. Aromatherapy is an approach that uses essential oils through inhalation to create positive mental shifts. Your sense of smell plays a role in your creative process, whether you realize it or not!
Within your brain, there is a network of cells called the “limbic system,” which works to control your emotions, mood, and instincts. When the aroma from essential oils is inhaled, they reach the top of your nose (known as the olfactory bulb), which is an extension of your limbic system. Once the aroma travels through this system, it will produce an emotional response.
Crafting your own Aromatic Charm is an excellent activity to learn about the properties and potential benefits of different essential oils, as well as how to apply them in a creative and personalised way by blending your own signature scent using essential oils.
