Oh! Oils
When you touch or think about someone you love, you will probably remember what the person smells like, and it's true for both positive and negative instances. If you experience a familiar smell, it reminds you of a particular experience, resulting in feelings of happiness and comfort, or it makes you feel uncomfortable.
The connection between smell, touch, and emotion has always interested me. Smell, or the olfactory nerve, is one of the least researched types of sensory systems available. Your olfactory is the first cranial nerve that enables your olfactory system and sense of smell. It is also the shortest sensory nerve.
The olfactory nerve goes to the brain's prefrontal cortex and associates with smell.
I am an Ayres Sensory Integration® therapist with 18 years of experience. I strive to help individuals re-discover or develop their sensory systems – to connect touch, visual, auditory, and smell on a
physical and emotional recovery journey.
In therapy, you do not choose the colour; the colour chooses you. Selecting a specific oil is part of your journey!
