How to make essential oils Matter in Holistic Wellness
Before we get into the oils themselves, let’s first understand why they are important.
Essential oils have a powerful influence on the body, whether by interacting with the olfactory system (smell), through absorption through the skin, or through your environment when diffused. Essential oils are not only desirable smells; they have important chemical constituents that can have effects on:
- Mood and emotions (e.g., reducing stress or anxiety)
- Quality of sleep
- Immune function
- Respiratory system
- Skin healing
- Digestive comfort
- Muscle recovery
At Health Equals Wellness, we don’t promote fixes or masking symptoms We promote healing of the whole person and oils are an important part of supporting this process through natural means.
