Aromatherapy

Essential oils can be used for a variety of reasons. They have been seen to decrease stress, promote healthy sleep, and aid with fatigue. With the use of candles or an essential oil diffuser, you can help create a relaxing setting in your home to decompress. Our sense of smell is closely associated with the limbic system, which deals with emotion, behavior, motivation, and long term memory. Here are some of the most popular and used oils that you can use to help in promoting your well-being!
