The Science Behind Scents: How Aromatherapy Affects the Brain

When you inhale the calming scent of lavender or the refreshing aroma of eucalyptus, your body is doing more than simply enjoying a pleasant fragrance. Your sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system - the part of the brain that regulates emotions, memory and mood. This is why certain scents can instantly spark memories, ease stress or uplift your spirit within seconds.

How Aromatherapy Works

Essential oils release natural aromatic compounds that travel through the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb, which then sends signals to the amygdala and hippocampus - the brain’s emotional control centres. This powerful pathway explains why aromatherapy can help you feel relaxed, focused or energised depending on the scent you choose.
