How Aromatherapy Calms the Nervous System
When essential oils are inhaled, their molecules travel through your nose to the limbic system—the emotional control center of the brain. This interaction can trigger shifts in mood, breathing patterns, heart rate, and even hormone production.
Lavender, in particular, is known for its ability to:
-
Lower cortisol levels
-
Promote alpha brain wave activity (linked to relaxation)
-
Enhance overall sleep quality
This is why it’s often used in stress recovery routines, meditation practices, and nighttime wind-down rituals.
