Essential Oils consists of natural plant extracts have been used for thousands of years for their therapeutic properties, and modern science has only begun to scratch the surface of their potential benefits for overall wellness.

At COACHLARA, we offer a DoTerra Wellness Consultation as part of our holistic approach to wellness and lifestyle. In this blog post, I will dive deeper into the science behind essential oils and their benefits for overall wellness.

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that are distilled or cold-pressed from leaves, stems, flowers, roots, or other parts of plants. These oils contain a complex mix of chemical compounds, including terpenes, phenols, and ketones, that have been shown to have a wide range of therapeutic properties.

One of the primary ways that essential oils work is through their effects on the limbic system, which is the part of the brain that controls emotions, memories, and the autonomic nervous system. When inhaled or applied topically, essential oils can interact with the limbic system to produce a range of effects, from calming and relaxing to uplifting and energizing.

For example, lavender essential oil is well-known for its calming and relaxing properties. Studies have shown that inhaling lavender essential oil can reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Peppermint essential oil, on the other hand, has been shown to have energizing and invigorating effects. Inhaling peppermint essential oil can improve mental clarity and focus, and even reduce symptoms of headaches and migraines.

Essential oils also have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties that make them beneficial for overall wellness. For example, tea tree essential oil has been shown to have potent antimicrobial properties that can help fight off infections and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. Frankincense essential oil, on the other hand, has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce pain and inflammation in the body.

One of the unique aspects of essential oils is that they can be used in a variety of ways, from aromatherapy to topical application to internal use. However, it is important to note that not all essential oils are safe for internal use, and it is important to work with a qualified health professional or certified aromatherapist when using essential oils for therapeutic purposes.
