When we say our roller blends work, we don’t just mean “smell nice.” There’s real science behind how essential oils interact with your body and mind. Here’s how:
1. Aromatherapy & the Brain
When you inhale essential oils, the scent molecules travel through your nose and connect directly with the olfactory system—the part of your brain linked to emotions and memory. This is why a whiff of lavender can instantly calm you, or citrus oils can make you feel energised.
2. The Limbic System Connection
Essential oils don’t just smell good—they trigger responses in your limbic system, the brain’s emotional control center. This system regulates stress, mood, heart rate, and even hormone balance. That’s why targeted blends (like lavender for calm or spearmint for focus) can shift how you feel in the moment.
3. Absorption Through the Skin
When applied topically (like with roller blends), essential oils are absorbed through the skin into your bloodstream. While the amounts are gentle and safe, they’re enough to have a balancing effect—helping with things like muscle tension, digestion, or respiratory comfort.
