Stress and nervousness: how to calm your nervous system with the power of aromatherapy
When life gets on top of you... your body feels it, the Calma roll-on from My Harmony helps you
Stress does not always manifest itself in screams or tears. Sometimes it is quieter:
-A knot in the stomach
-Constant tension in the neck
-Irritability without cause
-Difficulty concentrating
-Palpitations or insomnia...
Whether at work, in personal life or in times of uncertainty, the nervous system is activated in alert mode, At Mi Harmony, we've created the Calm Roll-On as a gesture of pause and self-care. An emotional and sensory formula for you to back to you, even on stormy days.
How does stress work in your body?
The stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the “fight or flight response”. This generates a cascade of physiological effects:
- Increased heart rate
- Muscle tension
- Mental restlessness
- Decreased ability to reason clearly
If this state is maintained over time, it can lead to chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, hair loss, among others.
Therefore, calming the nervous system is not a luxury, is a priority for your overall health.
Aromatherapy and neuroscience: what you smell also calms your mind
Smell: a direct highway to the emotional brain
The sense of smell is the only sense that connects directly to the limbic system, the brain area that regulates emotions, memory and behaviour.
When certain essential oils are inhaled, areas of the brain such as the amygdala, hypothalamus and hippocampus are stimulated. This can:
-Inducing states of calm, relaxation and security
-Reducing cortisol levels (stress hormone)
-Stimulate neurotransmitters such as serotonin or dopamine
Studies that support the therapeutic power of flavouring
Scientific research has shown that oils such as lavender, frankincense or sandalwood have sedative, anxiolytic and harmonising effects on the nervous system.
✅Study published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience (2017). showed that inhalation of lavender activates GABA receptors, modulating the anxiety response.
✅Molecules Magazine (2021)Frankincense and sandalwood have been found to have neuroprotective and regulating effects on the emotional system and sleep.
Calm Roll-On: how it works on your skin and your nervous system
-The Calm Roll-On not only works through the scent. When applied to the skin, the essential oils penetrate and act in two ways:
–Transdermal route:
The oils penetrate through the pores and act peripherally and centrally, balancing muscle tone, reducing inflammation and providing a sense of physical well-being.
–Olfactory route:
You inhale the aroma and it reaches the limbic system, calming emotions and reducing alertness.
