The magic of essential oils lies not only in their composition but also in how they affect our body and mind through different pathways. Essential oils are transmitted through electrical signals and blood circulation within the body. At Nuvia, we carefully select each essential oil to offer you a balanced experience for the mind and body, helping you reconnect with inner peace in your busy life. Let’s explore the four ways in which essential oils profoundly impact our mind and body.
1. Transferred to the Brain through the Olfactory System
When you use Nuvia essential oils, the aroma enters your body through the nose, first affecting the olfactory system. Essential oil molecules attach to the nasal mucosa, where they are converted into electrical signals by the cilia of the olfactory cells, sending the signals to the brain. The limbic system in the brain, responsible for regulating emotions and physiological responses such as appetite, desire, and mood fluctuations, is directly stimulated by the scents. Through this pathway, essential oils directly impact our emotions and brain function, helping guide the mind and body toward a balanced state.
Nuvia's essential oils, like Rose and Lavender, work through this mechanism to soothe tense emotions and bring inner peace and relaxation.
2. Transferred to the Whole Body through the Respiratory System
The aroma of essential oils doesn’t just stay in the nasal cavity; the active ingredients also enter the body through the respiratory system. The inhaled components are absorbed by the mucosa in the nasal cavity and enter the bloodstream. Furthermore, the substances travel through the throat, trachea, and bronchi to the lungs, where they pass into the blood vessels. These compounds are quickly carried throughout the body via the circulatory system, delivering benefits to the entire body.
For example, Nuvia’s Citrus Aria, with its fresh citrus aroma, not only awakens the mind but also helps the body feel revitalized through the respiratory pathway, guiding you into a state of clarity and energy.
3. Transferred to the Whole Body through the Skin
The skin acts as a barrier between the body and the outside world, making it generally difficult for substances to penetrate. However, because essential oil molecules are very small, they can penetrate the skin and enter the body. Once the essential oil penetrates the skin, it enters the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, circulating through the blood and lymph to reach the entire body and exert its effects. This is one of the reasons Nuvia essential oils help promote healthy skin glow.
Nuvia essential oils, like Golden Saffron, can be used for localized massages to release pressure and soothe muscles, providing you with deep relaxation and comfort.
4. Affects Primitive Instincts and Emotional Responses via the Olfactory Sense
The sense of smell is not only a sensory experience but also one of our oldest and most primal senses. Olfactory signals are transmitted directly to the old cortex of the brain, bypassing the new cortex. This allows the sense of smell to immediately trigger emotional and instinctual responses. Every Nuvia essential oil product works through this principle, offering you quick and direct emotional and physical healing.
Whether it’s the deep Tonka beans of Velvet Haze or the sweet fruit aroma of Peach Haven, Nuvia taps into this principle, awakening your inner joy and tranquility through carefully crafted scents.
Through these four pathways, essential oils uniquely affect the mind and body, providing profound healing and relaxation experiences. Nuvia believes that aromatherapy is not just about caring for the body but also about nurturing the soul. In the busy modern world, let us find tranquility and balance through the healing journey of essential oils.
