IS AROMATHERAPY A PART OF YOUR SELF-CARE ROUTINE? IT SHOULD BE.

Sometimes the simple things really do make all the difference. I have a way of over-complicating life in many areas, but Iβve come to realize that things that make me the happiest arenβt that complicated at all. So Iβm trying to bridge the gap between what I think I need, and what I actually need. And thatβs a mind, body, and spirit type of journey. One way Iβm doing this is by introducing little things into my everyday life, so that self-care becomes an everyday practice. Simple things like lighting my favorite candle, using my special occasion perfume on a normal day, or keeping the flowers in my vase fresh. Donβt underestimate how healing a satisfying scent can be. Essentially, aromatherapy is one of those simple things that can make you happy. And adding aromatherapy to your self-care and skincare routine isnβt complicated at all.
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
Scents, particularly those from essential oils and other plant compounds, can have many remedial benefits.

To make things simple, liken it to how the smell of cookies baking makes you smile and draws you into the kitchen. But more sophisticatedly, aromatherapy and essential oils engage your olafactory senses and sends signals to your brainβs limbic system. The limbic system is the part of your brain that controls your emotions and behaviors. And studies andΒ historical usesΒ have shown that the aromas of essential oils have many healing benefits for your body and mind.
