[LoShiNi]

Think of a smell of fresh coffee or light sea breeze, pine, or milk and you’ll feel the morning freshness or the sound of the surf, a tender embrace of a baby, or the silence of the woods. All these aromas call to mind pleasant memories and feelings.

Not many people really think of it, but when we take a breath, billions of molecules get into our olfactory system and can influence our thoughts and behavior.

French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé made aromatherapy popular in 1920, since then there have been studies that prove the benefits of aromatherapy for our health. For example, researches from Oxford found that the scent of citrus stimulates your nervous system, and vanilla scent helps you relax.
