In Basic Chemistry enantimoers are easily recreated. Essential oil molecules are complex and generally incomplete when created synthetically.

20. Psychoaromacology
The Science or Study of the Chemical interactions the aromas in plants have on the brain….
Danielle Daniel/LCSW, PsyD Candidate
GABA Nerotransmitter in Mental Health
Disorder & Essential oils

21. Danielle’s Research
Study the neurochemical abnormalities of psychiatric disorders and how essential oils treat and heal them
Psychoaromacology will provide evidence base treatment for psychiatric disorders
I plan to conduct research with essential oils for mental health & educate its treatment throughout the world
Today’s focus on anxiety disorders

22. Anxiety Disorders:
A group of syndromes where the primary features are abnormal manifestations of anxiety
-OCD

-PTSD
-Phobias

23. How do essential oils treat anxiety?
One Study found that the s-limone increased GABA (neurotransmitters sending positive messages) and decreased glutamic acid
Citruses are great psychoaromaceutic oils for treating anxiety.

24. More essential oils to treat Anxiety
Lavender also increases the effects of GABA in the brain
Linalool in Lavender interacts with the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, to cause physical calming effects
Lavender Modulates serotonergic activity in anxiety similar to those of SSRI’s
Research has shown that inhalation of the essential oil of lavender produces sedative effects similar to those of the pharmaceutical drug diazepam, or aka Valium……

25. Lavender
Lavender has an effect on the secondary messenger systems that are key in the neruotransmitter communication
Essential oils allow us to heal multiple systems not just treat a neruotransmitter/they interact differently with neurotransmitters and their other systems
Lavender is a great physchoaromaceutic oil for treating anxiety and stress

26. The Future of Psychoaromacology
Essential oils hold the most promising alternative solution for psychiatric treatment
Psychoaromacology is the FUTURE of psychology

49. The Bridge Builder
An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again will pass this way; You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide- Why build you this bridge at the evening tide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today, A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."
