Although the usage of oils, which come from botanical families, has been around for centuries, essential oils&nbsp;have become increasingly popular due to the proven beneficial effects they have when used both topically and for aromatherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: when you breathe in the aroma of an essential oil, cells in the nose receive the aroma molecules and send signals to the limbic system of the brain, that is, a system of nerves concerned with basic emotions and mood. The limbic system is also connected to the parts of the brain that control blood pressure, stress levels, and hormonal balance. Feeding this system with essential oils can balance emotions and the other functions that the limbic system controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essential oils can be used for many things, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diy-balm-to-relieve-tension-and-headaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from headaches to DIY beauty products<\/a>.

It can also help with stimulation, overall well-being, and emotional balance. If you\u2019re feeling down or uninspired, try diffusing lime oil for an uplifting mood boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jasmine-essential-oil\">Jasmine Essential Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously compared to the drug Valium, jasmine oil has a positive effect on the body\u2019s stress response, heart rate, body temperature, alertness, breathing, and blood pressure.
