The power of diffusing. Did you know that your nose is an outer extension of your brain?

Your olfactory nerve, amygdala and limbic system are directly connected. Using essential oils aromatically is the fastest way to access the brain. Your sense of smell is 10,000x more powerful than any other sense you have.

“Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived. The odors of fruits waft me to my southern home, to my childhood frolics in the peach orchard. Other odors, instantaneous and fleeting, cause my heart to dilate joyously or contract with remembered grief. Even as I think of smells, my nose is full of scents that start awake sweet memories of summers gone and ripening fields far away.” -Helen Keller

Smell is powerful for memories. Have you ever had an experience where you smell something and are transported through time? Yes! We all have! For me, the smell of cardamom brings me back to being in my Grandma’s kitchen as she made special cardamom cookies. Such fond memories and also powerful emotionally. It actually makes me a little teary because I miss her.

We choose to diffuse essential oils in our home for a range of reasons. To help balance moods, to help cleanse the air, to help our children and ourselves drift peacefully to sleep, to support open airways and to help keep our immune systems stimulated.

We are constantly diffusing and our kids love that they get to choose what goes in their diffusers as well. Kids do not usually get to make a lot of decisions so the fact they know they have some say in what oils they can diffuse helps them. They also know which oils make them feel happy, calm and sleepy!

Today I want to offer you one of my favorite diffuser blend for times of chaos. This blend hits it all! It is going to help you feel calm, protected and uplifted. In fact, I call this the “hold onto your asses blend”.

Let’s stay uplifted, calm and as healthy as possible.
