Essential oils not only smell amazing but they also absorb into the blood stream and work systemically on the body. And, they work through the olfactory (smell) system, which is tied closely to emotions and memory. They’re powerful!

I wanted to explore if or how essential oils can enhance or impact creativity or a flow state, and the answer Emma gave is actually not the one I expected.
