AGING: WHAT DOES FRAGRANCE HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

Scientists now know that certain scents stimulate the brain to release hormones for reduced stress, improved memory, altered heart rate and enhanced feelings of happiness.

The aroma of Lavender has been used through the ages to reduce stress which is a contributing factor of aging.  The essential oils of lavender can reduce the release of cortisol in a matter of minutes.  Cortisol is a stress hormone that triggers inflammation, a definite factor in premature aging. In addition, recent studies have shown that lavender may augment antioxidant actions in the body.  Jasmine and rose also create a sense of calm and are good for stress relief.

Citrus which is great for our bodies is also good for the mind.  The invigorating scents of grapefruit, lemon, lime and orange create a sense of well-being. So, improve your spirits with the sweet smell of the Rutaceae family of flowering plants.

Melt away anxieties with the comforting fragrances of Sandalwood, pines and cedars. They promote a peaceful mood and have been used throughout history to improve the mental, physical and emotional well-being of mankind.

It’s great to be able to offer all of that on an air freshener!

REFRESHING THE WORLD ONE AIR FRESHENER AT A TIME

 

Scent is an interesting thing.  A baby’s first experience with scent is identifying its mother.  Throughout childhood, we collect memories laden with scents.

 

Scents evoke memories and make our world a more interesting place.  The scent of a grandmother’s rose garden is brought to mind as an adult smelling the fragrance of a single rose.  The scent of bubble gum, the smell of a campfire, the ocean, and freshly cut grass all are deeply imbedded in our memories.

 

Two of my earliest childhood memories associated with scent are the way the air smells right before a thunderstorm.  The sudden electricity and ozone refreshing the air long before the first cloud appears on the horizon takes me back to summers past.  Memories of our holiday dinners with the aroma of succulent foods, candles and flowers bring back happy thoughts of my family and friends.

 

Our best-selling fragrances are Vanilla Bean, Wild Berry, and a floral mix, Plumeria.  Interesting!  They can be related back to childhood.  Fresh baked cookies, fruits picked right from the vine and sweet-smelling flowers!  Click here to see our refreshing fragrances.

 

How can fragrance affect the aging process?  That’s next time.
