Have you ever walked into someone’s home while they were baking and gotten a whiff of something so sweet and delicious it reminds you of what your grandmother used to make? Did you immediately relax, feel warm inside, and feel at home?
That’s the power of smell.
In fact, our sense of smell is so powerful that it can actually stimulate feelings and memories.
This is the core idea behind aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is a therapeutic approach to caring for your body, mind, and soul, using smell to create positive and calming effects.
