EXCERPTS:
"Remember
the calming scent of a rose in summer or the bracing
aroma of evergreen needles on a snowy day? Natural scents, arising
from plants’ essential oils, can enrich your life and offer
relief from daily stress. For over 5000 years, the use of plant
aromatics accompanied civilization wherever it spread. Now called
aromatherapy, it is one of the most beloved of today’s health
and beauty therapies."
"Odors are processed through the limbic system, the part
of the brain connected to moods, emotions and memories. When we
inhale a scent, physical or psychological reactions can
be instantaneous. For example the smell of cinnamon might
recall a childhood holiday." |
