Have you ever noticed how smells, like bread baking, can send you back to a childhood memory and all the feelings associated with your favorite grandmother? Smell accesses the limbic system of the brain which is the seat of our emotions. Ancient Egyptians used essential oils to clear specific emotions and recorded them on the walls of certain temple healing chambers.
Sesquiterpenes, found in high levels in essential oils such as Frankincense and Sandalwood, help to increase the oxygen in the limbic system of the brain which in turn "unlocks" the DNA and allows emotional baggage to be released from cellular memory. Emotions have been found to be encoded within the DNA of the cells and passed on from generation to generation. Emotional behavior patterns have even been bound to be "locked" within families. Transplant recipients report strange memories and desires. More recently, studies at New York University proved the amygdala gland (the gland in the limbic system of the brain that stores and releases trauma in the body) does not respond to sound or sight or touch, but ONLY releases emotional trauma through the sense of smell.
Emotions themselves are stored in the body in its organs, glands and systems. Feelings are taken in through the chakras, or energy centers along the midline of the body, and then fed into the meridian system, which consists of energy channels that run over and through the body. Since each organ has a vibrational frequency, as do emotions, the emotions will settle in an area with a corresponding frequency. Disease occurs when the body's vibrational frequency drops below a certain point. Essential oils can raise the body's frequency and therapeutic grade (medicinal quality) oils are able to do this because they vibrate at a high frequency and transfer that frequency to the body.
Essential oils have been used throughout the ages for healing, and the Bible contains 188 references to them. For example, frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, hyssop, and spikenard were oils used for anointing and healing the sick in Biblical times. One of the oldest healing modalities known, acupuncture, uses the emotions associated with and stored in, the major organs to diagnose disease.
