We have long since replaced the scent of forest, pine and ozone with the smell of gasoline, dust and a crowded street.
We have deprived our senses of the natural ways to relax, cleanse and improve our mood, and we search in vain for all kinds of stimulants of the mind and senses.
And it's all so simple. All we have to do is slow down again, remember the truly important things, recall long-forgotten knowledge, and we'll realize that what we need is hiding in the place we ran away from - the serenity of nature.
Nature's natural scents hold an unsuspected power to influence our minds and senses so that we feel better, more focused and more productive again.
You can try aromatherapy as part of your ritual for relaxation after a hard day's work or just before an important meeting.
All you need to do is pause for a moment, turn your gaze inwards and inhale deeply the fragrance appropriate to the situation:
Lemon
If you're feeling angry, anxious or lacking energy, the stimulating fresh smell of lemon will help you come to your senses.
The scent of lemon also helps when you're battling a cold or flu -it can be not only a vitamin drink, but also a fresh scent for the atmosphere at home.
Lavender
Its scent will help you relax after a hard day. It also helps with headaches and migraines. Sit back and enjoy its pleasant aroma.
Jasmine
Its gentle scent calms the nerves and improves self-confidence. Helps you feel more confident, inspires optimism and restores energy.
Rosemary
This is what your Monday should smell like if you want to start the week on a high note.
The scent of rosemary fights physical fatigue, headaches and mental strain.
Cinnamon
When you're tired and lacking focus, cinnamon will help you regain your strength.
Peppermint
Make yourself a nice mint tea if you need to come up with something new and really impressive. Peppermint boosts energy, refreshes the mind and helps you think more clearly.
If you want to truly feel the impact of these scents on you, you need to give them time to work.
Enjoy the peaceful moment where you simply inhale the light scents and let it work its magic.
Slow Life - slow down to live more mindfully. It's really worth it.
