“I ordered Sleep almost as a joke. Guess what? It worked! I’m

HOW AROMA THERAPY WORKS
Our sense of smell is guided by olfactory nerve receptors, allowing it direct contact with the brain. Located just below the brain, level with the bridge of the nose, these receptors have tiny hair-like nerves that capture the aroma molecules surrounding us and transport their “messages” directly to the limbic system. The limbic system is the “central command” of our emotions and memory. It also controls the hormone production that regulates our metabolism, stress responses, caloric levels, insulin balance and more. |
