I promise I won't be talking about a New Year's resolution. Instead, I want to share my top 5 scents that can bring you JOY! To say that the fragrance of essential oils can influence your emotion is not at all hokey pokey, there's really a science into all of this. But first, let me give you some Biblical Scripture - Isaiah 61:3 says " … to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of JOY instead of mourning …" During the Biblical times, the use of essential oils is a symbol of rejoicing, gladness, abundance, and celebration. The "Oil of Joy" or the "Oil of Gladness" is mentioned four times in the Bible. It is so interesting to know that the Bible recognized the essential oils, something so tangible, as a vehicle to give joy into the hearts of men. The people in the Bible probably did not know all the science behind it, but led by God's wisdom, they used these oils to uplift their spiritual awareness, heighten their rejoicing, and bring joy into their lives. Wow!
Now the science. According to Dr. David Stewart, the reason why the fragrance of essential oils can impact our emotion has to do with how our noses are wired. He explains "It has to do with the way our noses are wired into the brain. The four senses of touch, taste, sight, and hearing are directly connected with the rational part of our cerebral cortex. This means we can think and reason unemotionally when we touch, taste, see, and hear. Your nose is different. It is wired to the brain backwards to the other four senses. The other four senses pass their signals to the frontal lobes of the brain first and reach the emotional brain second. Smell travels a reverse path. It stimulates emotion first and passes to the rational brain second.
The olfactory nerves connect directly behind the nose to the center of the brain, the limbic system, which is the coordinator of our emotions. The emotional brain has another interesting property: it does not respond to words that are read, spoken, heard, or felt by braille. IT ONLY RESPONDS TO SMELL." - Dr. David Stewart, Author of Healing Oils of the Bible
