Aromatherapy has long been acknowledged as having the potential to help us with so many of the health difficulties and ailments which have come to be associated with the fast-paced, often stressful lifestyles of the modern day. It\u2019s more than just a smell as what essential oils and aromatherapy can tap into is something much deeper.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe begin to understand this when we take a closer look at the brain\u2019s complicated limbic system; an area so associated with memories and feeling that it is often referred to as our \u2019emotional brain\u2019. Here, within the limbic system, lies the olfactory bulb (olfaction: relating to the sense of smell), which has intimate access to the hippocampus, which is responsible for associative learning, and the amygdala which processes emotion. Through the psychological process of odour association, Essential Oil\u2019s can trigger memories and influence moods<\/em>,\u201d says Aromatherapist and founder of\u00a0Inner Senses, Lisa Basso.<\/p>\n

So today we thought we\u2019d share some Aromatherapy<\/a> based products that we\u2019re particularly fond of and could help you manage your stress<\/a> and anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
