“The senses, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge. The Senses highlight the central role of sensory experiences in learning, training and sharpening of the senses. The Senses have the obvious advantage of enlarging the field of perception and offering a more solid foundation for intellectual growth.”. Maria Montessori

Why aromatherapy is a helpful blessing that brings delight: Enhances mood and a general feeling of well-being ~ Can increases attention and alertness ~ Decreases the fight or flight (stress) response ~ Strengthens the immune system ~ Relieves stress and anxiety ~ Supports healthy breathing ~Purifies the air ~ Familiar smells elicit pleasant memories
Our sense of smell is linked with memory as well as our emotional center in our brain. Our sense of smell sends signals to all areas of the brain, including the areas of the brain that control behavior and mood, motivation, emotions, and memory.
An aroma can relax the body in order to allow them to receive, concentrate and retain information. A stressful emotional distrubance can distract and cause double-minded anxieties. Aromas can sooth the mind enabling focus, and perception and awareness.

- Every person is different, and everyone will eact differently to essential oils. One oil may work for you but may not work for someone else. Good thing there are hundreds of different types of essential oils!
- Pregnant women and people with severe asthma should only use essential oils under the guidance of a trained professional and with full disclosure to your physician. (Rarely, aromatherapy can induce side effects)
- Keep essential oils away from the eyes and ears. In the event of eye or ear exposure, soothe with a drop of vegetable oil – never water.
- Epileptics and those with high blood pressure should consult their health care professionals before using some essential oils. Avoid Hyssop, Fennel, and Idaho Tansy oils.
- Read the label before using the essential oil.
- In order to see the therapeutic benefits, the oil has to be 100% pure. The FDA does not regulate essential oils, so sometimes it may be hard to differentiate between 100% pure essential oils or essential oils with added chemicals and synthetics.
