Aromatherapy is a holistic approach to the
treatment of different health and mood ailments by promoting well being and
health of the body, mind, and spirit. Aromatherapy is as old as humankind.
There are accounts of the use of fragrances that date as far back as ancient
Egypt, maybe even more.
Religion and medicine were the two main uses of
fragrances in ancient civilizations as they were associated with both physical
and psychological benefits.
In our days, there is extensive research that
links smell with memory making in our brain. This sense can provoke different
emotions and memories. Scents can shift our emotions and make them much more
pleasant.
All of our memories are related to a specific
scent if I say "what your childhood smells like?" you'd probably
think of many different aromas that accompanied you growing up, a batch of
freshly baked cookies, recently washed bed sheets, the grass of your garden,
your grandma's perfume, they all evoke
different times and that is rewarding.
Childhood is the time of our lives where
everything seems easy, also, it is a time when we find comfort in the love of
our family and the spaces of our home, there are many smells related to this.
It is possible to replicate these emotions by
scenting our living spaces. We can aromatize our home in many ways, for
example, using a diffuser to spread the fragrance of our choice into the
environment to achieve pleasant moods when we are depressed or anxious.
We can also benefit from aromas in bath salts,
bath oils, body creams, and oils. For instance, if you're feeling agitated
after a long day, rubbing lavender cream in your arms, legs, and feet can help
you relax and get better sleep.
If you tend to eat too much, you might suffer
from anxiety, in this situation you want a diffuser in your kitchen dispersing
orange scent. Orange is known to calm anxiety, which is very important when you
are about to eat.
If you work at home and have a space to do it,
consider putting peppermint or mint in your diffuser. These scents help you to
focus and, increase creativity which can help you to solve problems better. If
you work at an office there are portable diffusers that you can use there.
If you have to exercise but you feel drowsy, a
citrus scent such as lemongrass can help you feel active and ready to perform
your routine.
Fragrances are a powerful resource and you
should figure out what works best for you in order to achieve well being.
