Sabbatical Saturdays #3: Aromatherapy – The Healing Power of Scents

Aromatherapy uses the natural oils extracted from plants to enhance your well-being. Scents like lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood have long been known for their soothing properties, and they can significantly reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, and even physical tension. Whether you use essential oils in a diffuser or apply them topically, aromatherapy provides a quick way to relax your mind and body.

Tip: For an instant stress-buster, inhale the scent of lavender oil or diffuse a calming blend. You can also make your own aromatherapy spray by adding a few drops of essential oil to a bottle of water, then spritz it around your space for an instant mood lift.
