Incense and Aromatherapy
Creating a relaxing environment doesn’t mean leaving out one of the most important senses, smell. Essential oils are derived from plants such as flowers, roots, leaves, stems and other natural items and are extracted to take the plants “essence”. Using essential oils on your skin or in a diffuser, activates your smell receptors in your nose and can activate different areas of your brain through different scents (webdm.com).
