Organic oils and essential oils
Essential oils are often considered the plant's hormones and carriers of their true life force. These concentrated essences have been used for centuries to support both physical health, mental balance and emotional well-being.
Therapeutic effect on body and mind Essential oils can help with a wide range of conditions - everything from physical complaints and inflammation to stress, sleep problems and psychosomatic imbalances. Even the scent alone can quickly affect mood, state of mind and the autonomic nervous system. Many people experience an immediate feeling of calm, energy or clarity when they use the oils.
Quality is essential For an essential oil to have a real therapeutic effect, it must be of the highest quality. The oils should therefore come from plants that either grow wild in nature or are grown organically without the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. Organic cultivation is extra important, because residues of chemicals can easily end up in the oil and reduce both effectiveness and safety. Altitude above sea level, soil and harvest time also play a major role in the oil's strength and chemical composition.
Complex chemical composition Essential oils have a very rich and complex molecular structure. They can contain hundreds of different chemical compounds – including alcohols, esters, ketones, phenols and aldehydes. It is precisely this complex composition that gives the oils their unique therapeutic properties.
This is how essential oils work in the body When you inhale an essential oil, the molecules affect the sense of smell and send signals directly to the brain and limbic system. When applied to the skin, they penetrate through the capillaries and into the bloodstream. In this way, the oils can support both the central nervous system, the hormonal system and the body's general balance.
