The Carma Connection Home Page Welcome to the company that specializes in custom made Aromatherapy blends to fit your personal needs. The art of using the healing powers of the plant world through utilization of essential oils. Essential oils are the Life-Force of the plant. The oils are forms of plant energy.
Essential oils work on the body through either inhaling or rubbing onto the skin.
When inhaled, essential oil particles are taken directly to the roof of the nose, where the receptor cells of the olfactory system are situated. From each receptor cell protrude thin hairs which register and transmit information about the aromas, via the olfactory bulb, to the centre of the brain. From here, electro-chemical messages are forwarded to the area of the brain associated with smell. These trigger the release of neurochemicals, which may be sedative, relaxing, stimulating, or euphoric in effect. Other messages may be relayed to parts of the body registering the oils' physical effects.
