AROMATHERAPY: IMPROVE YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH WITH THE POWER OF SCENT

WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?

Whether pleasant or unpleasant, our surroundings leave an impression on our mental and physical states. What we experience through our senses has consequences for our body systems that control not only mood but also our breathing, thinking, feeling, movement, hormones, metabolism, and our resistance to illness. We are generally inclined to place ourselves in or near natural settings when we find ourselves feeling stressed – we recognize that natural elements have a restorative influence on our complete well-being and help us settle both our physical and mental ailments.
