7 Scents that Foster your Wellbeing

As one of the five ways in which we connect with the world around us, smell is a powerful trigger of memories, moreso than any of our other senses. We've all smelt something that has transported us back in time, experiencing vivid emotions as they were back then. When you get a whiff of pine trees, you're reminded of summer camp. When you smell freshly baked muffins, you may think of baking in your mom's kitchen. It is no coincidence smell is intimately linked with memory; there is science backing why we treasure these aromas. The part of our brain that processes smell, the olfactory bulb, is directly linked to the emotional centre of our brain, creating a sense of nostalgia with a simple sniff. Scents, unlike taste or touch, are directly correlated with past experiences. Memory-inducing powers aside, aromas have a significant impact on our mind and body. We've highlighted 7 scents that boost wellbeing through aromatherapy.
