Essential oils – discover the power of scents from nature!

The intense scents of nature are etched in memory forever – this is closely linked to the anatomy of the brain. When you smell a scent, the hippocampus, responsible for memories and emotions, is activated. For this reason essential oils are able to influence emotional states and trigger memories. The scent of lavender can recall childhood, while the scent of bergamot can bring to mind holidays in Italy. Mokosh essential oils are completely natural and their action is aromatherapeutic. In the range you will find, among others, cedar, eucalyptus, fir, patchouli, lavender, orange, rosemary, sage, ylang-ylang, tea tree and lemongrass oil. Each scent affects the senses and skin slightly differently. How and when to use essential oils?

How do selected Mokosh essential oils work?

Essential oils are essences extracted from plants. Wrapped in their pleasant scent, we can have a warming effect on the senses. Aromatherapy has a positive effect on well-being and can help reduce stress. Some scents allow thoughts to focus and support concentration. Others encourage action, reducing feelings of anxiety. Essential oils are also used in alternative medicine to treat various skin conditions.
