✨Essentials oils are commonly used in aromatherapy —an alternative form of holistic therapy—and come in many forms to address different physical and emotional needs. Some studies even show that smelling these oils can activate and elicit positive responses from the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain. "Scent has a really powerful and remarkable capacity to shift our mindset and trigger physiological responses by way of hormones and neurotransmitters," explains a certified aromatherapist; "But most importantly scent can help us manage our stress response and trigger our body to rest, reset, and restore itself."🌙
