Aromatherapy is the single most effective spa therapy for detoxification of the body, due to the nature of essential oils making aromatherapy the perfect aid for detoxification. Kayla tells us, that our skin is permeable to substances with small molecular structures and low molecular weight, so essential oils are able to be applied to the skin and go to work in our bodies to detoxify because they meet those standards.
How Essential Oils Go to Work in the Body
In aromatherapy, molecules of essential oils applied to the skin pass through the skin's epidermis and are carried away by the capillary blood circulating in the dermis. The molecules of essential oils are then taken into the lymphatic and extracellular fluids. From there the therapeutic components of the essential oils are broken down and used by various regions of the body. In order to understand how this works simply look at other therapies that are topically applied and absorbed through the skin, such as, the nicotine patch, birth control patch and motion sickness patches.
Skin is our largest elimination organ. Most essential oils that are absorbed into the skin can be detected in exhaled air within 20-60 minutes. Essential oils are eliminated from our bodies within 20 minutes to 26 hours through our saliva, urine, feces or sweat in a healthy adult. After the essential oils perform healing they are metabolized and eliminated with the bodies other waste.
