A Close Kinship: Relaxation and Scent
Our sense of smell is one of the most powerful tools we have to combat the negativity of stress.
An ocean breeze, the fresh smell of the forest after a rainfall, the pristine scent of a crisp winter morning – all of this helps to uplift our spirit.
Essential oils allow us to bring the exhilarating scent of the outdoors into our indoor lives. As we must secure our windows to the cold of winter, just a few strategically placed sprays of an essential oil, and we have the best of both worlds!
