当我们吸入香气时，气味分子会进入鼻腔，触发嗅球内的电信号。这个信号沿着神经轴突传递，先到达原始皮层，再延伸至大脑的重要情绪中枢——边缘系统。
在边缘系统中，信号会进一步传递到海马体、杏仁核、下丘脑和丘脑等区域。这些区域不仅掌管着情绪、行为和动机，还与长期记忆和嗅觉紧密相关。当它们被香气刺激时，大脑会启动放松反应，促使释放多巴胺和血清素等“快乐化学物质”，从而帮助我们调节情绪。
研究还发现，吸入精油可以降低皮质醇水平，而皮质醇正是压力反应中的关键激素。因此，芳香的力量不仅能带来愉悦，更能在无形中帮助我们缓解压力，维持身心平衡。

When we inhale a scent, the aroma molecules enter the nasal cavity and trigger electrical signals in the olfactory bulb. These signals travel along the nerve axons, first reaching the primary cortex, and then extending to the brain’s important emotional center — the limbic system.
Within the limbic system, the signals are further transmitted to the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, and thalamus. These areas not only govern emotions, behaviors, and motivation but are also closely linked to long-term memory and the sense of smell. When stimulated by aroma, the brain activates a relaxation response, releasing “happy chemicals” such as dopamine and serotonin to help regulate our emotions.
Studies have also shown that inhaling essential oils can lower cortisol levels — a key hormone in the body’s stress response. This means the power of aroma not only brings joy but also helps reduce stress and maintain balance in both body and mind.
