The
sense of smell is actually very important and believed to affect 75% of our
daily emotions. Some smells are noticeably comforting, enticing or exciting. The
impact of smell on our emotional and mental well-being is so significant it has
been linked to treatment of anxietyy, stress and even depression.
How
Does Aromatherapy Work?
Fine hairs called cilia line the nose and convert the
different aromas you inhale into electrical impulses, which are then carried by
olfactory receptors located at the roof of your nose to the limbic system in the
brain. This is the area of the brain associated with learning, memory, moods and
emotions.
Physical benefits are many (not to be mistaken for cures for
major illness), but do aide in the discomforts accompanied by them.

I personally like to layer my aromatherapy
by using a body scrub, shower gel or soap, lotion and room/body spray and
matching candle or diffuser.
To me there is nothing that lifts my
spirits. clears my mind or adds confidence more than a little ambience and self
pampering.
I hope you will think about adding some of the simple steps
above to your lifestyle and benefit from your personal style of aromatherapy https://www.myjestore.com/Kathy
