What are essential oils?
Essential oils may be various compositions of substance mixtures of liquid, volatile and fat soluble plant ingredients or of synthetic aroma substances with a characteristic fragrance. In contrast to fatty oils, essential oils completely evaporate. The mixtures consist of a number of chemical compounds whereby most of them are terpenes.
How do they work?
Essential oils are taken up into the body by means of inhalation via the mucous membranes, rubbing into the skin or ingestion via the gastrointestinal tract. They reach the blood stream and various organs. In addition, essential oils reach the olfactory nerves via the nose. There, electrochemical signals are created which are passed on as information to the brain. As the brain controls the production of various hormones and influences the immune system, essential oils can have an impact on mood. The substances are excreted in unchanged form through the kidneys, sometimes through the lungs in respiratory air.
