Massively improving your life might be simpler than you think

Have you noticed that as we develop into adults, we tend to pay less attention to the small things in our day-to-day lives and focus more and more on big items? Life will be better once we get this job, or once we buy this house, or once we go on this or that holiday…

And while it may be true that big items improve life, we all know that it's about the many small things that we do habitually. If we improve those elements, it works like compound interest: the more small elements you improve, the better life becomes.

To tackle this, today we'll talk about aromatherapy.

What to use aromatherapy for?

Stress Reduction:

Research has shown that certain essential oils, such as lavender and chamomile, have calming effects and can help reduce stress and anxiety levels. By inhaling these soothing scents during your shower, you can create a calming oasis and promote relaxation after a long day.

Improved Sleep:

Are you struggling to get a good night's sleep? Inhaling essential oils like lavender and bergamot before bedtime may promote better sleep quality and help alleviate insomnia symptoms. Transform your shower into a tranquil retreat and drift off into a peaceful slumber.

Pain Management:

Whether you're dealing with headaches, migraines, or menstrual cramps, aromatherapy may offer relief. Studies suggest that essential oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus can help alleviate pain when applied topically or inhaled during your shower.

Mood Enhancement:

Elevate your mood and uplift your spirits with the power of aromatherapy. By stimulating the limbic system—the part of the brain that regulates emotions—essential oils like citrus or peppermint can help increase feelings of positivity and enhance overall well-being.

Cognitive Function:

Need a mental boost? Certain essential oils, such as rosemary and peppermint, have been investigated for their potential to improve cognitive function, memory, and alertness. Inhale these invigorating scents during your shower to enhance mental clarity and focus.

Respiratory Support:

If you're battling congestion, coughing, or sinusitis, aromatherapy may provide relief. Inhalation of essential oils with decongestant properties, such as eucalyptus or tea tree oil, can help clear nasal passages and ease respiratory symptoms.
