Aromatherapy

Your sense of smell is very powerful, and good smells can have an excellent effect on your brain chemicals.  Scents can evoke powerful emotions.  Aromas can actually trigger a release of chemicals in the brain that create a feeling of well-being.  Scientists say your body's response to an aroma takes just four seconds.

Use aromatherapy for a boost in energy, or for a soothing, relaxing effect.  There are several ways to get scents into your environment, including room sprays, sachets, essential oil in a diffuser, scented candles, and bath products (salts, bubble bath, oils, and bombs).  Find out what you like, and add pleasing scents to your life and home.

Tip:  Put a small pot of water, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to simmer on your stove.  Your home will be filled with a wonderful fragrance.  Heat on the lowest setting, and set a timer so you don't forget about it.

Tip: If you have a wood stove, put a couple of drops of essential oil on the warm stove for an infusion of scent.
