The Mechanısm Of Actıon Of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy, when applied at the right time and in the right way, is a highly effective supportive treatment method. It has powerful effects on relaxing the brain and body, relieving pain, and regulating body systems, thus facilitating the process of maintaining the necessary balance for healing. The use of essential oils in the body, alters body chemistry, supports body systems, and corrects mental and emotional states. Humans have the ability to distinguish more than ten thousand smells
The molecules inhaled from essential oils reach the smell receptors in the nose. Different molecules bind to different regions of these receptors. Receptors convert smells into electrical impulses, and these electrochemical messages, formed by molecules binding to receptors, are transmitted to the limbic system via the olfactory bulb and olfactory pathway. These messages trigger emotional responses through memory and the hypothalamus, facilitating the transmission of the resulting response to other parts of the brain and body. These messages lead to euphoric, relaxing, sedative, and stimulating actions. For example, it is known that some components of essential oils, such as those with analgesic effects, affect the release of substances in the brainstem, such as dopamine, endorphins, norepinephrine, and serotonin, thereby exerting an analgesic effect.
In short, inhaling essential oils sends signals from the olfactory system to the brain, which regulates anxiety, depression, and mood disorders by secreting neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, and also exerts an analgesic effect. When applied to the skin, essential oils immediately begin to take effect in body tissues. Essential oil molecules are absorbed through the pores in topical applications, mixing with the bloodstream and reaching every part of the body
