Smell is the strongest of senses and is best able to influence brain activity. This is the reason why many people have been using aromatherapy for healthy living and well-being.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils to sleep better, feel calmer and live happier.
We’ve gathered some time-tested aromatherapy recipes to create relaxing, stimulating, and happiness-boosting scents. Rotating the mood-altering fragrances at home has never been easier. Simply light a candle, plug in a diffuser or apply a product to your skin. Choose the mood you want, then try the ideas that fit your routine and personal preferences.
Once a scent has been associated with an experience or feeling, just smelling it conveys us to that time or place and entreats a similar emotion. Our reactions are highly individual and unique, driven by life events, memories, cultural backgrounds and much more. All depending on your familiarization with the scent and the way it affects you personally, every time you walk by a new or familiar scent, it has an impact on your mood, feelings, or it can bring you back to a memory.
