ESSENTIAL FEEL GOODS

Mammals smell through what is called the olfactory epithelium.  This smell organ is responsible for translating smells so that our brains can process them.  How smells work is that each smell is accompanied by a molecule.  The molecules have differing sizes and shapes that make different impressions on our smell sensory organs.
 
When they hit our smell organ, it delivers a specific message that we interpret and send to the brain.  The brain then has a sensory reaction to this information that results in the experience of a smell.  Aroma essential oils are a great way to explore this organ. Different essential oils will illicit a variety of response; lemon essential oil, for instance, is recommended to help treat colds and oily skin.
