Best Aromatherapy Candles for Relaxation and Stress Relief
Aromatherapy candles can help calm the nervous system by inducing deep relaxation and giving relief from stress. Aromatherapy, being a holistic healing practice, uses natural fragrance oil extract to help people heal at emotional, physical and spiritual levels.
Aromatherapy is a powerful tool to help to channel emotions in the most natural way.
Aromatherapy Candles and brain and body connection – the science of scent:
Science behind understanding – It is estimated that over 70% of the emotions we experience on a daily basis are impacted by scents around us. This is unique amongst other senses due to how smell is received and processed by the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb in the brain is directly connected to the olfactory receptors in the nose. Aromas have been shown to evoke emotion and related feelings of well-being due to their direct pathway to the amygdala and hippocampus in the brain.
