Our sense of smell has a very powerful effect on us. Our ability to smell things and the quality of that experience (sharp or dull sense of smell) can and do affect our ability to taste, our moods and our memory. Our tongue senses only sweet, bitter, salty and sour -- every other sensation that we usually think of as "taste" (and there are about 20) are actually odors that our nose and brain are picking up. Aromatherapy exploits the connection between the brain and the body; pleasant, familiar smells have the power to put us in a good mood. New smells give us the opportunity to form new positive associations.

Essential oils help us create positive linkages between our brain and our bodies. Different scents affect parts of the brain that in turn, affect our bodies and our emotions. Different oils can calm us, reinvigorate us, help us with weight loss and memory loss, help us sleep and even help us conquer depression. Various aromas will give us a profound sense of well-being.

There are so many varieties of oils for you to experiment with! Most oils affect people in similar ways, but every body-mind is different and will experience the effects of the oils a little differently. This makes the process all the more interesting. There are many ways for you to try the oils. You can try the oil in a relaxing massage; you can place the oil in a diffuser; or you can add drops of the oil in a hot bath. Regardless of the method you use the oil, you will feel better and healthier every time you try one out. You can even share oils with friends and compare your reactions. With aromatherapy, you can be certain to feel peace and serenity.
