I'm a medical physicist that works behind the scenes in Radiation Oncology ensuring patients can have a safe delivery of their radiation treatment. I have a Master's in Biomedical Engineering, and I graduated with my Bachelor's in Neuroscience & Behavior simultaneously with my high school diploma at the age of 18.

What Is the Science behind Essential Oils?

"Each bottle of essential oil contains a unique blend of chemical constituents. These compounds are volatile and organic, meaning they quickly evaporate and their chemical structures are primarily composed of carbon atoms. Constituents can produce powerful effects through their interaction with cellular targets. Some constituents can attach to receptors located on the outside of a cell to influence changes within it, while others can readily pass through the cellular membrane and bind to enzymes, proteins, and even DNA. Understanding how essential oils induce beneficial effects through chemical interactions can lead to a renewed sense of confidence in their use and inspire new opportunities for application in daily life."
