One of the most well-studied areas of aroma research is the effect of smell on emotions and mood. For example, there is convincing evidence demonstrating that simply inhaling the aroma of an essential oil is effective for calming nervous or anxious feelings in a variety of settings. The smell receptors located on the upper surface of the nasal cavity make direct links with the limbic system of the brain, an area that governs the body’s emotional responses. This close connection between aroma and emotion becomes obvious in our everyday life as certain odors trigger memories or specific feelings. Some aromas directly impact mood (for example calming, balancing, or invigorating), while others trigger memories of a specific experience, often one tied to a strong emotion.

Time for what, you say? Well, it’s time to remember. It’s time to remember the last time you felt like life was colourful. It’s time to remember the last time you broke out in crazy dance moves in your kitchen. It’s time to r emember the last time you turned the music up full blast in your car and sang as loud as you could because you could feel it all the way in your bones. It’s time to remember what it feels like when you really look someone you love in the eye and see all the way in. It is time. It’s easy to forget that life is supposed to feel good. Life is supposed to be full of delightful little moments that are filled with colour and twinkling joy. It’s easy to forget that once you knew exactly how to be you. All tha...
