Dopamine (the happy hormone) and serotonin (the chemical messenger) are both important neurotransmitters for mental health and happiness. They affect your mood, memory, sleep, libido, appetite, and much more.  
Essential Oils are just one way to prompt your brain to release these and are an inexpensive, easy and speed way to lift your spirits.
