Why Do Essential Oils Work?

Plant Potions creates small-batch, mostly organic essential oil blends on Waiheke Island, crafted with the utmost love and care. We are inspired by the chakras and nature - we love to explore the many ways that scents invite you into moments of me-time. It begs the question though - why do essential oils work?

Essential oils work because their natural plant compounds interact with the body and mind in powerful ways. When inhaled, aroma molecules travel directly to the brain’s limbic system — the emotion centre — influencing mood, memory, and focus. Certain oils, like Chamomile and Lavender (I AM CALM blend), help calm the nervous system, while others can lift energy (I AM VIBRANT blend) or sharpen clarity( I AM YOGA). A single breath can refresh the senses, creating mindful moments that anchor balance in a fast paced world.

Which is why at Plant Potions we create bespoke blends with purpose — inspirational companions that work in both a vibrational and uplifting way. Helping you to tap into your inner peace by reconnecting with the breath. Discover the full collection at www.plantpotions.nz.
