Welcome

Olfaction: We’ll discuss the sense of smell and how it relates to the psychological effects of essential oils.

Psychological Mechanisms Part One: In part one, we’ll examine the mechanisms behind essential oils known as neurostimulants. We’ll discover how neurostimulating essential oils can enhance mental clarity and cognitive processing ability.

Psychological Mechanisms Part Two: In part two, we’ll take a closer look at the mechanisms that cause the relaxing effects of neurosedatives, antianxiety agents, and antidepressant agents. We’ll use essential oils for their brain-balancing properties.

Synergies & Massage Application: We’ll combine essential oils in the correct proportions to create aromatic synergies (formulations) for a psychological purpose. We’ll apply our synergies using safe and effective methods as part of our massage sessions.

Resources: We’ll wrap up the session with recommended aromatherapy suppliers, a guide to the botanical names used in the presentation, and ideas for more learning.
