Mechanism of action of essential oils
Experts believe that when essential oils are inhaled, the aromatic molecules attach to the olfactory bulb in the nose and transmit signals to the areas of the brain responsible for emotional and behavioral responses. These areas then release neurotransmitters that produce emotional or behavioral effects.
3 of the neurotransmitters and their associated effects are:
serotonin – promotes a sense of calmness and supports the production of melatonin (the sleep hormone);
endorphins – stimulate the feeling of euphoria;
norepinephrine – acts as a stimulant.
The oils in Guter Schlaf are a source of linalool, limonene, alpha-pinene and other plant compounds with natural anxiolytic, neuro-strengthening and stress-reducing properties.
Star anise (Illicium verum)
Illicium verum is an evergreen tree native to China. To extract the essential oil, the seeds of its fruits are used. Star anise essential oil contains phytocompounds such as nerolidol, which exhibit the following properties:
slow breathing;
reduce anxiety;
neutralize the harmful effects of stress on the body and mind;
improve the quality and duration of sleep;
support the function of neurotransmitters important for brain activity and memory.
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labil)
Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia. Their healing power lies in eucalyptus oil, which is prepared from the oval leaves of the trees.
Eucalyptol is the main compound in eucalyptus oil, helping to reduce anxiety and relax the nervous system. Eucalyptol suppresses the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, responsible for the stress response, and increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation.
Other powerful compounds in eucalyptus essential oil, such as a-pinene, b-pinene, limonene, also calm the mind and help blood flow to the brain.
