Essential oils are one form of sensory input that can influence the nervous system through scent, memory, and embodied experience. 

 

The Essential Oil monographs on this site are educational, evidence-informed reference articles that explore individual oils in depth, including their history, sourcing, chemical constituents, and traditional and contemporary uses.

 

These sensory-based practices are part of a broader mind–body and somatic approach to mental health and are integrated within the MindBody & Somatic Therapies and Integrative Mental Health frameworks.
Note that this site only recommends plant therapies as complementary care to medical care.
